Google Maps taps Gemini AI

You can save a route in Google Maps with the "Pin" feature, as long as you're driving or using public transport.
Google Maps knows the routes that you frequent. Especially when you're already on a trip, it knows the roads you will take. Knowing that information, it can now give you proactive notifications about disruptions on the road, including alers about unexpected closures, heavy traffic jams, accidents, and more.
Drivers navigating traffic on their morning commutes will be able to do much more than just find directions and the nearest gas station on Google Maps.
To download a map in Google Maps offline, open the Google Maps app on iOS or Android and tap your profile picture on the top right (you must be logged in to your Google account for this to work). In the menu that appears, tap Offline maps > Select Your Own Map.
