Google Now does the same with commute times, and seems to automatically work out where you live and work. Same with appointment reminders, assuming you added a specific location to your calendar event - it's a bit hit and miss for me whether these reminders actually come up, but sometimes it tells me "Leave now to get to this appointment on time". Things like these are a much more useful part of it than voice detection, I very rarely interact with it via voice, and tend to just do searches through my normal browser. It also hooks into Gmail and can give you reminders about things like flights you've booked, although that raises questions about privacy, and whether you really want Google to be trawling through your emails. |

Eh, it also does it at really inappropriate times.
About 30 minutes after I get into the office it starts telling me how long it'd take me to get home, and that card stays up in Google Now until I actually do go home!
