Without going into the settings, you can ask Gemini to change your route at any time to avoid highways or tolls; don’t underestimate how great it is not having to struggle to find your way around the app to get to those settings! You can also ask other queries that Gemini is always happy to answer such as the weather along your route, and more. And once Google Assistant is swapped for Gemini, you can access the Gemini app from Google Maps and make any necessary changes.

This seems like a very useful addition to the Google Maps app. Android Authority was able to activate a version of Google Maps with Gemini integrated through experimenting with the app, but otherwise this variant of Google Maps has not yet been widely seen. Still, it is quite possible that the updated version of Google Maps with Gemini integration will soon be offered via an update.

The easiest way to replace Google Assistant with Gemini on Android is by using the Gemini app:
- Open the Gemini App on your Android device (if you don’t have it, click here to install it from the Play Store).
- Tap your Profile Picture or Initial in the top right corner.
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Digital assistants from Google.
- Select Gemini from the list.
- Follow any on-screen instructions and confirm the switch.
These directions will also work with the Google app to make the switch. You can also do this using the Settings app on Android:
- Open your Android device’s Settings app.
- Go to Apps (or “Apps & notifications”).
- Tap Assistant (or “Default apps” > “Digital assistant app”).
- Tap Digital assistants from Google.
- Select Gemini.
- Follow any final on-screen instructions to confirm.
Open the Gemini app and tap your profile picture.
Go to Settings > Digital Assistantsfrom Google, and select Google Assistant.
It isn’t clear whether iPhone users will eventually be able to swap Google Assistant for Gemini in the iOS version of Google Maps, but for now the integration of Gemini with Google Maps will be an exclusive for Android users.
