Poco a poco Google Now it continues to get improvements that make it more and more interesting. The famous cards are increasing their functionality and today we show you a new feature that is also quite interesting, especially those that drive continuously. It is a new card that will allow us know the nearby gas stations to refuel, so that we do not have problems if we are in the reserve and we want to take advantage of the kilometers.
Today we have to inform you of several news related to Google Now. This morning, for example, we indicated that the Mountain View voice assistant now allows you to manage various connectivity commands, such as turning on and off WiFi, Bluetooth and even, one of the most interesting new features, turning on the flashlight without need for a third party application. Well, just a few minutes ago it became known that a new card will progressively appear in our terminals.
Surely while you are driving you have ever wanted to know where we can refuel gasoline and above all, what is the best option. Yes, it is true, we can find gas stations X kilometers around but, Are any of them found on our route? This question is what the new Google Now card answers.
As indicated by those who have already tried the card in the United States, it appears while we are driving but not while we are sailing, that is to say, that in a certain way it can lose some functionality. Basically Google detects the speed at which we are moving and makes a prediction of where we are going to go, offering this information Of course, it is most likely that this option also becomes available while we use Google maps to navigate since, in that case, it is when we can really find it useful.
Although it is true that Google can make mistakes when drawing our route, it is a very interesting option that, unfortunately, in previous versions of Maps, it was implemented, being able to define stopping points such as gas stations and restaurants on our route. Is Google taking the right path with your assistant? Although it continues to approach, there is still time for Google Now to end up being as useful (we talked about other aspects, of course) as Siri or Cortana, something that we will undoubtedly see very soon.
