It might be around that time of year when youre starting to figure out your summer vacation plans. Google has revealed some new features that can help with that, including a handy AI-powered one for Maps. If you turn on the new screenshot list, Gemini can automatically recognize locations that are mentioned in screenshots you take in the app. You can then save the places you're interested in to a list. These saved spots will appear on the map, and you can share the list with your travel companions. This feature will be available on iOS in English in the US starting this week. It's coming to Android soon. ever forget about screenshots of places in your camera roll? this new feature was made for you Google Maps turns your screenshots into a list of saved places so you can easily find them for later rolling out this week in the U.S. in English on iOS and coming soon to pic.twitter.com/z8RafkIWcS Google Maps (@googlemaps) March 27, 2025 Google has long offered flight price tracking features, and now the company is expanding that to hotel pricing via its dedicated search tool. If you have your eyes on a destination for particular dates, you can track prices for hotels and get alerts when they drop. Just tap or click the price tracker toggle underneath the search filters. If prices for any of the hotels in the results drop dramatically, you'll get a notification via email. This feature will be available globally this week. In a blog post announcing these updates, Google also suggests that you could use AI Overviews in Search to help with travel planning. Starting this week with English queries in the US, the tool will offer trip planning for certain regions or whole countries. So if you enter something like "create a foodie itinerary for Japan," AI Overviews should offer some ideas you can export as a list of recommendations in Docs or Gmail. You can save these suggestions in Google Maps as a custom list as well. I'm not sure I'd trust a tool that doesn't know how many days there are in a month to come up with travel ideas for me, but, hey, the option's there. On that subject, Google is expanding AI Overviews in Lens and Circle to Search. They'll soon be available in Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, in most of the countries where AI Overviews are accessible.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/nintendo/google-can-save-locations-you-screenshot-in-maps-to-help-with-travel-planning-170144012.html?src=rss

Todays Nintendo Direct gave us our first real look at the forthcoming Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake, and it sure is easy on the eyes. It uses Square Enixs HD-2D engine, just like last years Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. We knew this JRPG was coming, but now we have some actual in-game footage. As the name suggests, this title will include remakes of the first two Dragon Quest titles that were originally released all the way back in the 1980s. This is a very good thing, as the first game is pretty short. Technically, Dragon Quest 3 is a prequel to the first two titles in the franchise, so this release schedule makes a certain sort of sense. Once this game comes out, the entire Erdrick trilogy will be available to modern players. Were glad to see so many of you enjoying #DragonQuest III HD-2D Remake! pic.twitter.com/zgDdEWSXPp DRAGON QUEST (@DragonQuest) December 6, 2024 We still dont have a release date, other than later this year. We do know that its coming out for the Switch, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. These are the same platforms that Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake released for, which ended up being a surprise hit for the company. Square Enix said it sold over two million units globally, as of December. It was also the best-selling game in Japan throughout 2024.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/a-gorgeous-remake-of-the-first-two-dragon-quest-games-hits-switch-this-year-165757991.html?src=rss

The highly customizable Vivaldi web browser now has built-in ProtonVPN integration. CEO Jon von Tetzchner described the collaboration as part of a broader shift toward "privacy over profiling, sovereignty over surveillance, independence over inertia," noting Vivaldi and Proton's headquarters are in Europe (a region with significantly better privacy regulations than the US). "We don't believe your personal data should be a bargaining chip." Built-in ProtonVPN is only available on Vivaldi's desktop app, which is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. You can use Proton integration by clicking a new "VPN" icon at the top right of the toolbar. Doing so will prompt you to sign in with your Vivaldi account. It connects with ProtonVPN's free plan by default, which offers solid speeds but only automatic server locations from (via The Verge) five randomly selected countries. Or, you can log into a paid Proton account for the fastest speeds and manual server selection. (Proton's service is Engadget's pick for the best VPN app.) In a blog post announcing the collab, Tetzchner framed it as a people-focused deal. "With this partnership, we're uniting two forces in tech that build for people, not investors," he wrote. "It's not about growth hacks or shareholder slides. It's about protecting the web for the people who use it." You can install ProtonVPN's extension for Chrome, Firefox and Chromium-based alternatives like Edge, Brave and Opera, so this is far from the only way to use it in your browser. Vivaldi's new button essentially automates the installation process.
