directions

SALT LAKE CITY -- (Business Wire)
Imagine if you had a personal assistant that could remind you of an
important appointment and help you get there as quickly as possible.
There is no need to imagine. The Department of Public Safety and the
Department of Technology Services announced the implementation of new
technology in appointment reminders that will do just that.
“It’s very simple,” said Marissa Villaseñor, Director of Public
Relations, Utah Department of Public Safety. “It makes renewing a driver
license appointment very easy to remember; it will automatically remind
you of your appointment and help you with driving directions.”
In order to enable a more seamless interaction with online services,
Utah.gov has enabled Google Now cards to be included in appointment
notification emails from the Driver License Division.
Utahns can use the online Driver License Scheduler app to schedule an
appointment when applying for a license, a learner permit, and many
other services. Appointment emails are programmed to automatically add
the scheduled appointment to the user’s Google Calendar and to activate
Google Now reminder cards, alerting the individual before the
appointment with maps and directions. Individuals will receive reminders
from the user's calendar on Android phones and from the Google app on
iOS devices.
“We added coding to the messages that tells the Google Now application
when and where the appointment will be,” said Mike Hussey, Utah State
Chief Information Officer. “The process uses the tools many Utahns are
already using.”
The structured markup included in the Driver License appointment emails
allows Google Now to automatically assist the user by adding
appointments to Google Calendars. Google Now cards are available on most
Android phones and any iPhones using the Google app and Gmail.
