How to Access Google Maps with Google Assistant?

If you go to your work with your personal car, then using Google Assistant along with Google Maps is the best thing to do. 

In order to use Assistant with your Google Maps first, you need to set up your home address on your Google Maps. So that you can use your Google Assistant to start navigation to your home from your work. You can also set up your work location on the G Maps, which will enable you to say, “Okay Google, get me to work.”

Once your work and the home location is set up in the Google Map, you are ready to say, “Okay Google, get me home.” 

You can also ask for traffic updates and details about road closures and diversions. These updates are extremely helpful since it saves your time and fuel while on a trip. 

How to Book flight and Air Tickets with Google Assistant

From now on, you can leave the legwork on your Google Assistant while booking your flights and staying places. It is straightforward to book a hotel or flight via Google Assistant. 

If you want to book a hotel, then you should say something like, “Hey Google, book one room at (the hotel name) in (location for booking)” or like “reserve one room at (hotel name) in (location) for 28 November to 30 November.”

You can also do research about flight tickets via Google Assistant. Just say “Hey Google, how much are flights to Belgium” or “show me flights to Berlin.”

If you live in the United States of America, then you can also check the status of your flights like whether your flight was delayed or not. Keep in mind that this feature only works in the USA and only for domestic flights not for international flights. 

After reaching your destination, you can ask from your Google Assistant for “things to do in Switzerland” or “best street foods in Switzerland.”
