My hometown of New York City has an abundance of places to hit up whenever the weather is agreeable (before reverting to arctic temperatures at the drop of a hat).

Whenever I’m on the move, Google Maps tends to be my go-to GPS — as a millennial who was forced to print out the directions to Six Flags Great Adventure back in the day, it’s so convenient to have a lady in my phone tell me how to get to my location. With Gemini’s integration into Maps through the "Ask Maps" conversational interface, the app has become even more accommodating when I’m on the move.
