Google has unveiled a suite of generative AI features for its mapping and geospatial platforms, targeting enterprise users with enhanced visualisation and data analysis capabilities.
The announcement was made at the company’s Cloud Next event in Las Vegas, where Google outlined new tools designed to improve how businesses interact with geospatial data.
One of the key features, Maps Imagery Grounding, allows users to generate realistic visual scenes within Street View using text prompts, enabling applications such as urban planning and creative production.
The company also introduced Aerial and Satellite Insights, which enables users to analyse satellite imagery stored in Google Cloud’s BigQuery platform, significantly reducing the time required for complex data analysis.
In addition, Google launched two Earth AI Imagery models capable of identifying objects such as roads, bridges, and power lines in geospatial data.
The company said the new tools eliminate the need for businesses to build custom AI systems from scratch, accelerating development timelines and reducing costs.
Google noted that its geospatial AI technologies are already being used by organisations including Airbus and Boston Children’s Hospital for applications ranging from environmental monitoring to healthcare research.
The updates form part of Google’s broader push to expand AI-driven enterprise solutions across its cloud ecosystem.
