Pairing Gemini and Google Maps was the best thing that happened to my photography

Location scouting for taking photos in a familiar city isn’t difficult. I usually scroll through Instagram, cross-reference forums, and check weather apps. Too much work, perhaps? Then I realized that Google’s Gemini AI and Maps can actually “talk” to each other. I have learned from expert photographers a few tips for using Gemini as a virtual location scout and Google Maps to plot it all. Things can go wrong when pairing AI with photography, but the combination can give us spot recommendations, a walking plan, and leave some space for serendipity.
