About 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. For exam-
ple, here’s a trafc card:
To see some sample cards from the main Google Now screen,
touch
Menu > Sample cards. When you’re nished and want
to get back to the main Google Now screen, touch Hide sample
cards.
In addition to the cards shown in the list of samples, you may also
see a Public Alerts card.
Public Alerts provide emergency information from sources such
as the National Weather Service and the U.S. Geological Survey.
Coverage is currently provided by a limited number of key part-
ners, only in the United States (excepting U.S. Geological Survey
earthquake alerts). Google can’t guarantee that you’ll see every
relevant alert. However, Google Now attempts to show you what’s
important when you need it, in the hope that such alerts are a use-
ful additional source of information. To learn more, visit support.
