Google unveiled a new smartphone app that helps users plan and organize their trips, extending the tech giant’s step-by-step entrance into the online travel market.
The app, called Google Trips, automatically pulls details about a user’s trip from their Gmail e-mail and recommends restaurants, attractions and “local gems” based on data gleaned from other travelers, Google said Monday in a blog post. Users can download saved itineraries and reservations so they don’t need to worry about cellular coverage when they get to their destination.
