..hands-free and eyes-free
Every time you are going for a road trip, most of the times you need Google Maps. So you assign the setting of the place that you want to reach to a passenger or you are doing it by yourself, but you are driving. Google has released the update that will fix that!
The voice command functionality is a feature that will enable the hands-free and eyes-free experience for the driver. All you have to do is to enable the “Ok Google detection” setting and then you just need to say “Ok Google” in order to activate the microphone and then you will see the bouncing dots which indicate that your voice is heard, as the search engine voice command feature. For example you will say “Ok Google, find gas stations”. Also you can use very useful commands like “How’s traffic ahead?” or “Show alternate routes”, or even make calls, play music etc.
Voice commands are available only in the United States and only in english but in a few weeks it will be available in more countries. Here you can find a cheet sheet with more voice commands that Google has provided to us. Take care in the roads.
