Google has been trying out to get new features to its brand offerings to make local area searching easier and now they have introduced a new feature called “”Near me now”.The main goal of local search service’s to make it simpler to quickly look up local businesses and info about them. Users can access this new feature by accessing Google.com through an Android or the iPhone and “tapping”, or clicking, on the “Near me now” button once the phone provides your location.
According to Daily Tech, the new service was mainly created to address two issues for mobile device search users.“Near me now” will provide information about businesses physically near you and let users gain more information on whatever they are in front of with a “Explore right here” option. By clicking or “tapping” on the latter option, users would be able to read reviews about restaurants that they are about to walk into.
There are some flaws but it’s just started and would be fixed soon.You must be running an iPhone with OS 3.x or higher and/or an Android device that is 2.0.1 or later. Google’s recently introduced Nexus One Android phone will work with the new features as well. The “Explore right here” option option only works if the handset provides an accurate location to one city block, so the feature is likely only going to be guaranteed to work in large cities.
