Google Maps for Android lists your events, flights and reservations

Share

Google Maps’ Play listing doesn’t quite elaborate on what’s new with the latest version, but the update’s definitely more than just a bunch of bug fixes. Android Police has discovered that the app can now mine your Gmail account for info whenever you search for these particular key phrases: my events, my flights, my reservations and my hotels. “My events” will list your Calendar entries, while the others are pretty self-explanatory. Unfortunately, these key phrases only work for the Android version of Maps at the moment — the good news is that they’re not exclusive to Mountain View’s navigation service. You can actually type those key phrases or use them as voice commands on Google search or on Google Now. So long as you’re logged into your account on a browser or a relevant app, they’ll work perfectly whatever your device or platform is.
