Are we there yet!
When Google Maps has turn-by-turn navigation turned on, the virtual assistant, Google Now, will pop up every now and then to tell you to take a turn or an exit.
And you know what you'll hear it when you tap the mic button and ask the assistant "Are we there yet?" a few times in the latest version of the app.
See it in action...
"If you ask me again, we won't stop for ice cream."
To try it, set Google Maps on your Android device to give you turn-by-turn navigation directions.
Then hit the dictation button (mic icon) and ask, "Are we there yet?"
And you will hear the
response on your forth time!

Track yourself on timeline! Rediscover places you visited before...
Google Maps allows rediscover the places you’ve been and the routes you’ve traveled... using a feature 'Your Timeline'
Your Timeline allows you to visualize your real-world routines, easily see the trips you’ve taken and get a glimpse of the places where you spend your time.
Google's location history — now replaced with Timeline. Location History helps you get useful information - for example, automatic commute predictions, improved search results - by creating a private map of where you go with your logged-in devices.
This is possible if you have opted into location tracking in any of Google's services, such as Google Photos or Google Now.
And if you use Google Photos, will show the photos you took when viewing a specific day, to help resurface your memories.
Your Timeline is private and visible only to you.
Clickhere to enable it!
To delete your entire history, go to Timeline --> Settings icon --> delete all location history
To stop Google from storing your location history moving forward, go to My Account --> account history and turn off the "places you go" option
Can edit places in Your Timeline, remove a certain location or rename it at will, making it visible in Google Maps the next time you log in.
