Google Now has been updated on Android. This occupied part of the opening conference of the I / O event, where the software had almost the entire prominence. The result cards of the Mountain View search engine now provide us with new functionalities. The most notable is the reminders, which are now not a mere extension of the alarms but are based on our previous searches or on specific orders.
These reminders become part of our tasks if we make a specific indication, even being able to adjust the circumstances so that the card jumps. These will notify us of events or phenomena in which we have shown interest through our searches. For example, if we search when the next album by a singer comes out, when it does, we will be notified. Or if we have looked for the time of a sporting event, we will be notified.
When we enter it manually, in the adjustments, plus The time, enter a new factor, which is The localization. There are certain tasks that do not make sense unless we are in a specific place. In other words, we can indicate that we have to buy some sneakers and we indicate that we want to do it in a sports store.
Also if we have looked for Thai restaurants, when we are close to one it will be indicated to us. Only then will we be reminded with a card.
Another aspect in which it improves is in the public transport information. In several cities, the information is in real time, including incidents, delays, and service modifications. With all these variables we are shown on the card.
At the moment in Spain we cannot enjoy these features yet. The reminder settings do not appear in the menu unless we put it in English. If we use the command remember me o add reminder brings us to the old alarm function, which is different from this new item. As for the real time of the transports, it is only in operation in certain cities of the United States.
