Note

Are Cortana’s “time to get there” calculations based on driving time—or public-transportation
time? That’s up to you. You make this settings decision in the Notebook, as described on “The
Notebook”.

Results: In most cases, Cortana displays a little map, or the answer to your
query, right in her panel. Sometimes you have to specify which Walmart (or
Starbucks, or CVS) you’re asking about.

Figure 5-8. Left: Cortana is tied into the Map app’s database. So you can ask about any address in
the world and see it quickly on a map.

Right: She also does a decent job of finding restaurants. Your request can specify things like “near
me,” “open now,” and “with good reviews,” along with the type of restaurant you’re looking for.
