Learn how to use Google Now on the moto x2

Google Now delivers customized cards, based on information from your Google services (such as locations, searches, web history, Gmails, and calendar events) and from third-party products that you allow Google to access.

For example, you may get traffic reports before leaving for a dentist appointment, or receive train arrival times while waiting at the station after work. View your team's scores on game days, or find popular restaurants when you travel.
