Since I neither leave my home location often nor want to turn on web history, for either of my accounts, it's relatively useless for me.
- Commuting times to several places
Here I don't know where it takes the address from. In the beginning it listed a couple off-by-one addresses for friends and family, by now (how..?) it resolved two of these addresses to contact names, so I have now a travel plan to visit my brother, dad or my company. It also includes a wrong address of my in-laws.
This is impressive, technically, but a little creepy and totally, 100% useless for me. I _was_ at these places, but I really don't plan to go there again anytime soon.
Why is this listed?
- The weather, for the local town I'm in. The Standard Thing (tm)
- A Google Translate widget to translate between German and English. I .. feel insulted. ;-) I used Google Translate a lot, in Israel, for Hebrew <-> English. German <-> English? I can do that myself, thank you very much.
Why is this listed?
- A widget that lists the exchange rate between EUR and ILS. Yes, I used to be interested in that, up until I moved back to Germany more than a month ago.
Why is this listed?
- The time and day of week. Off by one hour.
Again - no clue why. But this at least gives a hint:
Somehow Google decided that I'm still living in Israel. It shows me currency exchange rates, the time at 'home' and a translator widget (why between english and the local language though?).
My problem: I don't want _any_ of that. Mostly not because I don't feel that they add anything of value (they don't, for me), more because ~everything~ listed there is irrelevant/wrong. Since the whole idea of Google Now seems to be a magic sauce trying to find stuff that you want to be informed about, I'm unable to 'fix' my data set here.
Try latitude -> location history -> menu button -> change home location.
I wasn't able to follow your instructions (I tried finding a setting like that on my mobile or the tablet, but failed), but the location history (that clicked!) website's dashboard allowed me to redefine 'home'.
Sorry if they're off, apparently it's different on phone then tablet and I extrapolated from what I've heard. On phones, usually 'location history' is a drop-down menu in maps (the upper left button that says 'maps' is actually a drop-down).
