Portions of information that Google Now is responsible for presenting directly when accessing the Google application, before the user even had to search for it In this way it becomes a proactive tool that works for the user collecting data such as your location, Gmail conversations or Google Chrome searchesto find out what interests you and what may be useful to you.
This way, if the user is in the area of influence of a solar eclipse, now Google Now has a corresponding card indicating the viewing date of this event. A tool that presents different articles to solve all possible doubts of the user about eclipses.Thus, it links to pages where you can find out what protection is necessary to be able to see one of these dances of celestial bodies without damaging your eyeballs.

The other type of card that has recently been discovered on Google Now has a very different character. And it is about police information related to nearby events to the user's location. That is to say, cards that inform with news of any problem in which the police have intervened and that has been made public.A way to give an alert or simply inform of what is happening not far from your location.
This card shows both the event that occurred and the place and time in which it happened. Thus, under the heading Police Activity, it is possible to see a small sumario that includes the event data as news. Information that can always be enlarged by clicking on the card itself to access the web page where the data was collected.
Of course, as is usual in the news of Google Now, its implementation is usually gradual and localized.
