A secret Maps feature has peeked its head from behind the curtain, giving you an even faster way to find your upcoming trip details.
Tucked inside the version 9.8 app update is the ability to ask Maps to show your flights, hotels, reservations, other upcoming appointments.
For this to work, you’ll need to have your reservation confirmation emails inside of your Gmail account so can mine them for the right information.
You can now ask for a listing of your flights, reservations, other details with voice comms inside Maps.
Android lice spotted four distinct comms: my events, my flights, my hotels, my reservations. But other iterations of those phrases will find your stuff as well. For example, if you say “My itinerary” you’ll get a list of upcoming flights, while “My hotel reservations” will also pull up where you’re staying.
Unfortunately these comms don’t work from the homepage or Search app; you’ll need to be inside of the Maps application.
