An app that uses Big Data analytics and helps your smartphone transform into an all-in-one travel assistant. It does this by consolidating reservations and bookings from your emails into automatically sorted trips.
Google automatically collects and sorts all your flight details, hotel and car reservations, tour itineraries and other information through your emails. With that, the app also provides recommendations, suggested day plans, and local sights and attractions based on your tastes, interests and local travel tips. The data saved during the previous use of Google Maps, Calendar, Photos or Gmail is used to make these suggestions which users can save locally to their smartphone, allowing for offline use.
3Uber
