| Google introduces new features for maps search and shopping services |
Today, Thursday, Google announced a number of new features for its services, including maps, search, and shopping. The company unveiled most of these new features at its Search On event last September and is now making them available to users.
New search engine features:
Starting today, users can use search to find their favorite dishes in nearby restaurants. For example, you can search for (shrimp pasta near me) to show nearby restaurants that have this dish on their menus. Once you find a specific dish that you like, you can get information about the price, ingredients, and more.
You can also use the Google Lens MultiSearch feature to photograph food and see where it is nearby.
Let's say you see a picture of food on the Internet, but you don't know what it's made of or where to find it. You can now use (Google Lens) - in the Google app for Android or iOS - to take a photo or save a screenshot of a picture of a dish, and then add the phrase (near me) to search for the nearest place that sells restaurant photos showing food.
Google Lens is a search tool that allows you to use images instead of text. You can take a picture or save a screenshot of something and search for it. Google Lens can also scan text into images, so you can easily find the meaning of phrases in words or find translations of specific words in images.
Google also introduces new features in the Translate function via (Google Lens) to allow users to more easily translate texts on complex backgrounds, instead of selecting the original text as before, Google Lens analyzes the text and uses an artificial reconstruction of the background. Intelligence, and put the translation on top so that the collage matches the original. For example: This feature helps restaurants easily translate menus for foreign customers while preserving their designs.
New features in Google Maps:

You can also view basic information about each place, for example b. Whether the place is open or closed, whether it is open, whether it is crowded, price range, etc.
The live view feature in Maps makes it easy for electric vehicle owners to find the best charging stations for their vehicles.
