Google is giving Maps the ability to sort through your screenshots using AI to identify places in them you might want to visit.
Google Maps is adding a new tool that lets you prepare lists of destinations extracted from screenshots.
Maps will analyze screenshots shared to its library, and can handle multiple locations on a single screen.
The feature is first coming to iOS this week, with Android support following soon.
Taking a screenshot is one of the most very basic things a smartphone can do, and while we’ve had the ability to do that for the better part of forever, recently screenshots have started becoming a lot more useful than just a quick-and-dirty way to share app content. Tools like Pixel Screenshots tap into the power of modern AI to extract actionable information from the mountain of screenshots we accumulate.
