Reports published September 28, 2026 described ChatGPT Maps as OpenAI’s place-discovery feature: users can ask in natural language for nearby places and browse suggestions on an interactive map. OpenAI’s page invites people to share their location and ask about nearby restaurants, attractions and services. The feature is geared toward discovering places and planning outings.
How ChatGPT Maps place search works
OpenAI presents ChatGPT Maps as a way to explore nearby places and get local recommendations. In the experience described in September 28 reports, people could search conversationally and see suggested locations on an interactive map. The official page also invites users to share their location to ask what is nearby.
What appears with a place result
A report published September 28 described place cards with details that could include an address, hours, contact information, photos, descriptions and user reviews. The reports also described trip planning, with recommendations appearing in the conversation and on the map.
A Chrome test described in a September 28 account searched for a nearby parrilla, a grill-style restaurant, and returned several map options with interactive details. That example illustrates a place search; it does not set a limit on the number or range of results.
The reported limits on live navigation
