Google Now starts showing the gas stations on the route
At Google they strive to improve the user experience in all kinds of situations, satisfying their needs at home, at work or even on the road when driving. Efforts that materialize through its voice assistant Google Now, which does nothing more than receive news and new credit cards useful information for the user. Questions that appear on the screen even before he looks for them, thanks to the intelligence of this tool.
The last card to be added to this assistant has been that of the gas stations en route A convenient option that allows the user to know the refueling stations that are on your way, thus not having to worry about actively looking for them or having to divert your route to be able to fill the tank again. However, the most curious thing is that the user does not have to do absolutely anything in his terminal, just take the path so that Google Now performs the rest ofcalculations and searches
And this new card does not even require having to enter the user's destination point. Like the rest of the proactive information on Google Now, the card arises by capturing certain habits and qualities of the user Thus, you just have to start the route to find this suggested card when accessing the wizard.The application itself is in charge of determining the destination point, checking if it is the usual time to go to work or some recurring point to which the user usually goes. With this, he plans the most usual or probable route that he will take and, incidentally, collects information as interesting and useful as that of the gas stations through which said route passes. Without the need for the user to participate at any point in the process.
With this, when accessing Google Now, preferably in the hands of a co-driver and not the user who is driving, this card will be shown with a portion of the map In it it is possible to interact with the marked points of interest that They are none other than the gas stations that remain on the user's route. In addition, this card displays other interesting data such as the user's current speed, the turn-by-turn directions to the destination and of course the end point of the route
However, its prediction characteristics mean that this card is not the most reliable when it comes to being used as a navigator GPS Y It is that, if they are improvised routes or trips, it is most likely that Google does not know where the user is going. However, it is really useful for common commutes or to avoid having to go too far out of the way by having a look at the gas stations you will come across, being able to calculate where it is better stop to refuel.
In short, a simple but useful tool that Google has introduced into its assistant Google Now Now, like all new features, it will come gradual, so it is possible that Spanish users still have to wait some time until they can receive these cards on their devices.
