Nov 09, 2026

Building real-world context into your apps just got much easier. You can now use Google Maps Platform directly inside Google AI Studio, eliminating the need to leave your workspace to configure billing and credentials. Jump in and try it at no cost.

How it works:

  • Describe your idea: Head to AI Studio and prompt Gemini with any real-world concept (e.g., "Build an interactive 3D tour of NYC showcasing iconic landmarks").
  • Enable Google Maps seamlessly: Get started in minutes with no credit cards required, 1 or let AI Studio automatically detect and link your existing Google Cloud project.
  • Watch it come to life: AI Studio securely connects your key and instantly loads a live, interactive preview.

Try it out today in AI Studio or read the full announcement on the Google for Developers blog.
