Basics
Google Now
Google Now gives you just the right information at just the right time - before you even ask. Just slide
up from the bottom of your Sero 7 to get commute traffic before work, popular nearby places, your
favorite team’s current score, and more.
After you opt in to Google Now, you don’t need to do anything else. If you like, you can adjust settings
for different types of Now cards as they appear, but Google Now doesn’t need any elaborate setup. The
information you need is always at your fingertips.
To know when to display which cards, Google Now uses contextual data from your Sero 7 and data in
Google products and thirdparty products that you allow Google Now to access.
For example, Google Now uses the time of day, your location, and your location history to show you
what the traffic on your commute is like when you wake up in the morning. It also uses information
from Google services such as your Web History for sports or flight status cards, or from your synced
calendar entries for appointment cards.
Turn Google Now On
To open Google Now, you can press & hold the Home button at the bottom of any screen and slide up
to Google Now icon, or tap the Google Search bar at the top of the screen.
Google Now Cards
A Google Now card is a short snippet of useful information that slides into view right when you’re most
likely to need it. After you opt in to Google Now, you can view these cards easily no matter what else
you’re doing.
