G+_Ed Reilly Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I had one of those delightful Google Now experiences: I needed to head out to a restaurant, stopped at home first and did a quick lookup on Google Maps for its location, more or less memorized the route, jumped in my car and hit Google Now by accident when I turned on my phone, and there it was prompting to navigate me to the location, complete with time estimate and traffic assessment, I just looked up on my desktop. A bit freaky, but sweet. I said yes :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Chris Harrison Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I had a similar experience with navigation as well as it telling me the arrival time/date of a package I was expecting via UPS. Mind you, I wasn't even aware Google had added those cards.. A happy surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Bjørn-Eivind Kvam Netla Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I had searched a location 500 km away, and suddenly Google Now offered me directions there, only 8 hours to drive.. I said no, I was just going to work :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matt Beacher Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I've done that, and I love it every time. Google Now! is a major reason I will never leave Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Chace Walters Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Google Now saved me from sitting in 45 minutes worth of traffic last Saturday. I went to a restaurant with some friends then we all rushed out of there to go to the bar to watch the game. When I got in my car, I checked Google Now and it told me about the traffic to go home (the bar is close to my house). So I just entered the navi app from Google Now and found another route. I couldn't get in touch with some of my friends, so they ended up missing a lot of the game because of the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Roderic Green Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I was driving home after work and it popped up a card to my favorite tavern. I have no idea how it knew that about me. it was not even the closest bar. Scary but very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
