Define home & work
As you use Google Now, you may be asked to confirm your home
or work address to get commute traffic information, travel help,
and more. You can change these addresses in several other ways:
• When a Traffic card appears for home or work, touch the
Info icon.
• On the main Google Now screen, go to Menu > Settings > My
stuff > Places, then edit Home or Work.
• Visit
maps.google.com
from a browser and open My Places.
• Visit
Location history dashboard
from a browser, click Change
next to Time at Work or Time at Home, edit the address, and
click Save.
Turn off location reporting & history
To turn off both location reporting and location history for your
tablet:
1. Go to
Settings > Google > Maps & Latitude.
This brings you to the Location settings screen for Google
Maps.
2. To turn off location reporting, touch Location reporting > Do
not update your location.
3. To turn off location history, uncheck Enable location history.
You can turn off and delete your location history and still use
Google Now, but certain kinds of information, such as commute
traffic, may be limited or won’t show up at all.
Delete location history details
Even if you turn off both location reporting and location history,
your previously recorded history is still available to Google ser-
vices such as Google Now.
