The command line is your primary workspace, but constant context switching to other tools breaks your flow. 💡 Meet Google's solution: Gemini CLI extensions ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gzYKREmd Google's new, open framework integrates your most-used services—from Google Cloud to third-party APIs—directly into your terminal. 🌐 With Google Maps Platform's own extension, Code Assist toolkit, an MCP server, you can retrieve place-related information from Google and embed Google Maps imagery directly into applications.

Today, EverDriven is proud to announce a first-of-its-kind integration with Google Maps Platform: Google-powered navigation integrated directly into the EverDriven Driver App. This collaboration is more than a technical upgrade. It’s about delivering a seamless experience for school districts, caregivers, and drivers. With features like dynamic rerouting and speed limit alerts, we’re making rides safer, more reliable, and more efficient. In short: better service for our school district partners, added confidence for caregivers, and smarter tools for drivers. I’m grateful to our EverDriven team and our partners at Google for leading the way together. We're taking a bold step forward in modernizing student transportation — and today's news is just the start of what’s ahead with Google. 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g__N2zGe
