By design. It worked great, then they launched Gemini and moved features out of Assistant. At least Assistant can still follow basic directions like a voice command to navigate home. Gemini can't.

My experience the last few months has been that the "take me to" command no longer worked! "Take me home" for example would no longer work. "Take me to <coffee shop name> in <City>, <State>" stopped working. I relied on that to navigate me to places when I'd already started driving, so it was pretty frustrating when it suddenly stopped.
