About Gmail Cards
Gmail cards are based on confi rmation messages sent to the Gmail account you’ve selected for
use with Google Now. For ex ample, cards appear before restaurant reservations you’ve made
with OpenTable or when you receive email updates for package s in transit. Gmail cards typically
include links to other useful information, such as a link to the email on which the card is based,
or directions to a restaurant or hotel from your current location. You can turn Gmail cards off or
on from the main Google Now screen:
All Gmail cards at once. Go to Menu > Settings > Google Now and touch the
On/Off switch for G m a i l c a r d s
Individual Gmail cards. Go to Menu > Settings > Google Now >G m a il a n d
c h e c k o r u n c h e c k e a c h c a r d .

English, and they’re currently not available when you’re using Google Now with a
Google Apps a c c o u n t .
About the Activity summary card
The Activity summary card appears once a month. It provides a very rough approximation of how
far you’ve walked or cycled dur ing that month compared to the previous one. These estimates
are based on occasional samples of the accelerometer in your tablet, which are then compared
to typical movements involved in walking or cycling. This information isn’t available unless
you’ve turned on location reporting and history for at least one of your Android devices. If
you’ve turned these on for more than one device, the Activity sum -mary card reflects the one
you used most often that mo nth.
Search settings
Settings may vary depending on the version of the Google Search app you’re using.
To view Google Search settings (including Google Now) to the bottom of the Google Now screen

IMPORTANT: “Google Now is turned off for your domain:” If you see this message,
you’re using Google Apps for Business, and your system administrator has turned off
Google Now for your organization. Before you can turn it on, your administrator needs
