Google Now now indicates what activities are near your hotel
In Google they know that the nearest future passes through their search assistant Google Now A tool designed to satisfy the information needs of the user, as well as performing other functions automatically and even offering to help before the user makes a query. And it is that it is one of the pillars on which Android Wear resides, its operating system for smart watches, in addition to taking more and more part of Android formobile phones and tabletsEven more so if week after week it continues to increase its possibilities and functions.
On this occasion Google has decided to improve its assistant with a curious feature, although it may not be as widespread. Thus, Google Now will help users find all kinds of activities and places of interest near their hotel A most useful question for the most travelers who are used to carrying out all their hotel reservation procedures through the Internet and email, making things easier for Googleto find all kinds of establishments and issues close to the place of accommodation.
The idea is simple. On many occasions it is an arduous task looking for restaurantsnear a hotel when you arrive in a city or unknown place Or receive complex instructions in an unknown area to reach a specific place or return to the reserved hotel after having wandered aimlessly.Small details that the user can now solve with a quick question to Google Now, pressing its microphone icon and asking the question “ Show me restaurants near my hotel”, or “Give me directions to my hotel from here”
But how is it possible for this assistant to know such details without specifying the address of the hotel? The key is in the analysis that makes the Gmail inbox And it is that Google Nowhas access to the user's emails, being able to know the specific place of reservation thanks to some confirmation message from the party Hotel With such a reference point, the user can always ask about it so that Google knows what really means “near the hotel”. The rest of the task is simply finding the places the user asks about.
A measure that can make the hairs of the most jealous users stand on end privacy But that is necessary to carry out this and another types of tasks such as knowing if a flight is delayed, knowing where the car has been parked, and various more useful details for the busiest user. A necessary evil, or not, but one that the user is forced to tolerate by accepting the permissions after each update of the Google Search application that comes with itGoogle Now
In any case, Google wants the user to be able to ask naturally about where to eat , what to see or what to do near the hotel where the room has been reserved without having to search for the address or being in the area to make the inquiry Something that can be done with the new function of Google Now already launched, although it will gradually reach all users of the operating system Android.
