Our first Ask Maps meetup began at Shivajinagar Metro Station, where Local Guides gathered over a cup of tea before putting the concept into action.
After a quick discussion over a cup of Tea, and sharing tips like
- Using built-in Gemini in Maps to update business information in a natural language.
- Using Google Cam app to upload 360° photos.
- Using Ask Maps feature to search for “museums nearby within 500 meters, that remain open till 9:30 pm”
we then used Ask Maps to help us decide our next destination. The recommendation was Lakaki Lake, and without a predefined plan, we proceeded towards the location together.
Here is a video and an image of me using the Ask Maps feature
Lakaki Lake is a beautiful and picturesque spot, offering a peaceful escape amidst the city. Although there hasn’t been much rainfall in the past few days and the water levels were noticeably low, the location still had its own charm and provided a wonderful setting to explore, interact, and appreciate the surroundings.
A big thank you to @TusharSuradkar @AjitThite and @AjitSahane for your presence, enthusiasm and participation.
We’d love to see this meetup concept grow beyond Pune. Feel free to host an Ask Maps meetup in your own city or neighbourhood
