Because of my Calendar and my todo lists, and my emails with friends and family, and my searches on Google, I do think that Google could know precisely what I may be trying to map as soon as I open my maps app on my phone :)
I just emailed Mom asking what Dad might want for Fathers day, and I told my wife I'm headed out sometime this week in a text on my phone, and I searched Google for products that took me to Amazon....
So, when I pull up my map one afternoon soon after these communications, I think it will know what I'm up to - or could at least show me a popup saying "Headed Father's day shopping? Want some locations based on your recent web activity?"
I say Yes, and all kinds of fun spots and deals popup.
- fumar 13y agoGoogle Now does some of these things. Now provides me for directions almost everyday. It also lets me know what what movie times are relevant for me. I was recently in NYC, Now gave me relevant things to do while I was there. They were great suggestions. It blew me away.
