Ask Lonely Planet where to go

Ask Lonely Planet
where to go
Explore the world with Lonely Planet and the
Google Assistant
You don't have to buy a Lonely Planet book to find out basic
information about upcoming destinations; you can just ask Google
Home to tell you instead.
A brief overview
The narration is light and breezy – powered by the Assist
automated voice platform that's used by numerous apps and
devices. You'll soon find that Lonely Planet plus the Google Assistant
is a great way to find out about places you've always wanted to
know more about. Much of the commentary is general rather than
specific, so it's not exactly a way to plan a trip in detail but it will
give you a really decent overview. It's a place to start, anyway. It will
be especially useful for people going away on business who don't
have a lot of time to explore a place but just want to find out a bit
about the background of the city they're going to. Be aware that
the granularity of destinations isn't total, so it's large destinations
only for now – we easily found information on Athens, but specific
Greek islands weren't covered despite there being Lonely Planet titles
available that cover them – you get the rather irritating error "Sorry,
this experience is not available".

talk to Lonely Planet" or "OK Google, I want to talk to Lonely Planet"
