Calendar fun with Google Now

Jelly-Bean

With allot of devices on the verge of receiving the Jelly Bean goodness I thought it would be an opportune time to share a neat little trick Google have put into there eco system that I find very useful,

Anyone familiar will Google will undoubtedly be familiar with their excellent maps and calenders, In jelly bean they have taken the eco system integration/syncing to the next level.

For example if you have an important meeting or event simply drop it into you’re calender

with a time, location and anymore information you require, Jellybean’s Google now will hit you with a card on the specified date taking into account the time needed to reach the destination on time and offer a tab to open the directions applications to get you there, Simply hit the navigate icon and away you go.

But wait it goes further than that, if someone say from work E mails you an appointment to you’re Gmail account and includes location and time the same principal applies.

Not everyone will find a use for this but if like me you travel allot and have to keep allot of appointments it can be very useful, and the best thing about it, its all free, you’ve just gotta love Google
