I knew I'd seen that city gif with the lines before: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/12/improving-urban-gps-accuracy-for-your.html > From the 2026 article: "But you also need really good AI to do it right" So a feature from 2020 (albeit a cool one) is now brand new and AI powered? Did Google have good AI in 2020 and replace it with Gemini?
