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

Depending on your location, time of day, and previous Google searches, Google Now
displays 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.
Open the Google Search app to use Google Now. To open, tap Google on the Apps
screen. Or just swipe up from the onscreen navigation buttons.
