>>>Go Further: Doing More with Google Now
In addition to searching the Internet using Google Now, you can command Google Now to do
things for you. For example, you can tell Google Now to set an alarm for you, compose a text
message, or even send an email. This is just a small list of the types of things you can have
Google Now do for you. To see a comprehensive list of commands, visit http://trendblog.net/list-
of-google-now-voice-commands-infographic/.
To make Google Now even more effective, configure your work and home addresses in Google
Maps. Google Now then uses that information to tell you things such as how long your commute
to work will be, whether there is heavy traffic on the route, and so on. See step 4 in the
"Configure Google Maps Settings" task later in this chapter to find out how to do that.
Google Maps
Google Maps enables you to see where you are on a map, find points of interest close to you, get
driving or walking directions, and review extra layers of information, such as a satellite view.
1. Tap to launch Google Maps.
2. Tap to type a search term, the name of a business, or an address.
