    This doesn’t really sound like a revolutionary use case

    It’s basically the same as a non-LLM voice assistant.

    Maybe an LLM query ran faster than doing a search in a map tool, but by how much?

    Can’t be that much, since someone could pull up the satellite navigation on their phone, to much the same effect these days. At most it saves maybe a minute.
