Google Now Can Now Track and Display Distances for Walking or Driving

Only few days ago Google Search has been updated to include a lot of new features. Google Now can now access Gmail and display cards for package delivery schedule or flight reservations and tracking. It also features cinema and restaurants, along with displaying cards for interesting places near the current location.
Google Now’s latest version also brings speed and reliability improvements and it seems that is not all. Upon opening the app today I found it displayed my walking distance for the passed day. The info is displayed in miles and is based on the device’s location. I know I had the GPS turned off so the info might be supplied by the internet location. Upon researching the matter I also found it applies to driving or biking through the display of the Google Now card seems to be random. I also haven’t found any info about it in the app’s settings.
