Google AI Mode map schema

This section documents the map data returned by the Google AI Mode endpoint: GPS-enriched location data extracted when AI Mode surfaces map-aware results, part of the AI Mode response so no separate API call is needed. Each entry includes latitude/longitude coordinates suitable for plotting on a map. Map entries appear in render order; array index 0 is the first card shown on the map carousel. For use cases, pricing context, and copy-paste examples, see the AI Mode places API page on the product site.

For inline place cards without GPS coordinates, see places. places and map may both appear in the same response — places is the inline place-card layer, map is the GPS-enriched layer.

Example request

Map entries are intent-detected; no flag is required.
