Getting instant information with Google Now
Do you want to check the weather or your morning commute time before you start your day?
Google Now ™ delivers quick and up-to-date information that matters to you—all without the search.

information cards that include:
§ The day's weather and the weather forecast for upcoming days.
§ The traffic conditions on your way to work or your commute back home.
§ The directions and travel time to your next appointment.
§ The next train or bus arriving at your platform or bus stop.
§ Your favorite team's score and stats while you enjoy the game.
