TL;DR<\/p>\n
- \n
- Gemini has just lately began arriving for Android Auto customers en masse.<\/li>\n
- One new person has shared a video of Gemini getting very confused about his automobile\u2019s location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
What\u2019s the worst Google Maps<\/a> failure you ever skilled? Overlook to obtain some offline maps<\/a> earlier than heading right into a area with out mobile protection? Discovered your self caught in bumper-to-bumper visitors after Maps didn’t establish a shorter route? Whereas hopefully nobody\u2019s had Google direct them to drive straight right into a lake, we\u2019re beginning to query simply how conscious Maps is perhaps of our bodies of water basically, after one Android Auto person shares their distressing expertise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/picture><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nAndroid Auto\u2019s experiencing some rising pains proper now, as Gemini begins to roll out<\/a> broadly as a substitute for Assistant. And whereas that\u2019s undoubtedly enhancing the driving expertise for some customers, we\u2019ve already heard from fairly a couple of who’re getting annoyed by glitchy, sudden habits. This new report from Reddit person Electronic_Log8951<\/a> would possibly take the cake, although.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nOn the location\u2019s Android Auto sub, they share their story of failing to get the Tim Hortons instructions they had been searching for. Curious what was going fallacious, they requested Gemini the place it thought the car was at present situated. In line with the person, they had been deep in British Columbia, Canada, on the time, lots of of miles from the ocean. However strive telling Gemini that:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nAs you geography followers are hopefully conscious, being lots of of miles away from the Pacific Ocean could be dangerous sufficient, however right here Gemini appears to assume that it\u2019s out previous Canada\u2019s reverse<\/strong> coast, placing itself someplace out within the Atlantic Ocean (higher than the Arctic, we suppose?).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nOn the plus facet, they share that Gemini additionally reported it being 29\u00b0C (84\u00b0F) regardless of their obvious maritime location, which sounds surprisingly temperate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nFor as goofy as we\u2019re treating this error (and it is<\/em> fairly darn humorous), we additionally know simply what number of of you depend on Gemini, Android Auto, and Google Maps for proper data, so it\u2019s very simple to see this as distressing, as nicely. One of the best factor any of us can do is assist alert Google to any gaffs like this, utilizing Android Auto\u2019s built-in reporting instruments<\/a> to share the bug with Google builders. That method, hopefully our subsequent Android Auto tour retains us firmly on dry land.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
