I Recently Upgraded the Travel Avatar Feature

Nano Banana Pro has been insanely popular lately, so I switched my AI model and upgraded the Travel Avatar feature. It now lets you generate a travel photo of yourself anywhere in the world — all without leaving home.

Here’s how it works: First, pick a place you’re interested in on the map and drop a pin, or you can directly enter the latitude and longitude to locate it. Then, upload a photo of yourself and adjust a few settings. Finally, just hit “Generate.”

It’s a fun little feature, though there are still plenty of issues and things to improve. What do you think about it?
