Was searching for Great Wolf Lodge earlier and now this posted up.

Guess it wants me to take public transit out there. :rolleyes:
 
I can't get google now to work :(

I've searched for the weather in my town but when i go back i don't have any cards showing. I've gone through settings and made sure they're enabled. What can i do?
 
My Google now doesn't show me anything but the weather. I have the history thing enabled but that doesn't give me any other cards.
 
I am quite impressed so far (wasn't sure how it would work in the uk)

wether is constantly there
did a search for US baseball team yesterday and now have a card for it
had an appointment in my calendar for this morning, it created a card for this and told me how long it would take to drive there

hoping it will work for UK football teams when the season starts, have tried to get GB olympics but it doesn't like this
 
OK I do not understand what the problem is the way I understand Google now is it is actually doing its job bringing the cards up like the weather and baseball. I personally think that those are the only 2 cards. While I hate baseball and I think it is the most boring sport in the world the program seems to work. I would really like a YouTube card or maybe just an answer to my questions but I am aware that this is not siri and it still works well when I have an appointment and it tells me when to leave home.

Exactly! This is just how Google rolls out many of their projects - in Beta. For me, I'm totally cool with it. If it could start reading my mind, that's great, but I'll let it develop more and work with what I have right now.
 
With UK English selected it wont operate when saying the word Google. Is an ok function but needs work
 
It's working fine with me. It integrated my calender, home and work locations.
I just had to ask it repeatedly about red sox scores and now those come up automatically
All appointments and time for work are in my calender so I have cards with maps for all of them.
I even did a search of a steakhouse by my house and when I checked later there was a card for it with the directions to get there

I love it. I just have to keep using Google Now for my searches instead of Chrome, like I'm used to.
