If you are outside the U.S. and addresses don’t really work well out there, in the address box, just put in the co-ordinates of exactly where you live. Works like a charm.

Nevermind, I figured it out. Go to Google.com/History and it will prompt you to turn it on.

Thank you Mr. Benson for managing to be helpful amidst being a dick.

It’s not gonna get better because Google/OEMs are not allowed to offer it in Android phones in carrier shops. Google Now has been stripped of the IP infringing functionality. Only way to get this copycat code is have the phones rooted and download it from a infringement website that hosts it – still the user base is like .01 of the install base.

Also Google Now is simply voice action commands, it’s not AI based like Siri is.

Absolutely love the “you should leave by this time to arrive on-time” notifications, I always geotag my calendar appointments anyway, so its a pretty effortless luxury. Would be really cool to see suggestions based on Latitude activity. For example: say I have a friend who commutes to city X all the time and frequents some great restaurants and bars, I myself rarely go there, but if I happen to be in city X, alert me when I’m near a location that’s popular with one of my Latitude friends. Google totally has the power to demolish something like foursquare if they would combine Offers + Latitude + Wallet + Now + G+

NFL: definitely, college: depends. I think if you Google (from a web browser) the team’s name during a game and get that little graphic with the scoreboard on top of your search results, its safe to say that it’ll have a card in Google Now (GN is now an ambiguous acronym around here, sigh)

You along with the rest of the morons need to turn your web history on within your Google settings. Sports teams will not show up until you do this. Do a little research. Flights only show up in the hours right before take-off.

You say that like Apple has never “borrowed” any ideas from the Android OS. Plus, Google Now is 10 times better than Siri anyways. Take a look at this video here…

Is this a joke? This is complete Siri rip-off.

Where did they get this awesome idea of unified card info? Hmmm Siri anyone!
