- Garmin has added support to Google Map for her wear
- It gives you a turn-by-turn instruction on your wrist
- Update lets you find your way without using your phone
When you are enjoying the great outdoor, the last thing you want to do, it ruins your experience to check your phone for constant directions. When you are running or riding a bicycle, it is double the truth, where the phone -like distraction can be a real disturbance.
If you have a germin wearable, however, you will not need to worry about it, as the garmin has just added Google Maps to it. Fitness Tracker App StoreThe idea is that you will find a turn-by-turn direction on your wrist, so that you will be able to keep your phone in your pocket or your bag.
It is compatible with popular models like Garmin’s Venu 3, Vivoactive 5 and Fenix 8 Smartwatch among many others (you can find a complete list of compatible models at the end of this article).
One in Press releaseSusan Liman, vice -president of consumer sales and marketing in gamin, said, “Whether searching for a new city, a run or negligence with friends, the Google Maps app in the Connect IQ store is going in the right direction to users.”
He said: “Turn-by-turn notification will be a game changer for those who want to be free from hands and want to keep your phone in your pocket.”
Quick directions on your wrist
Garmin says that this will benefit pedestrians and fitness fans. For a walker, your germinable will be vibually vibrated because you reach a turn. If you tap the app, it will show you the next three turns.
If you want to go for a run or bike ride, you can still measure your fitness matrix while receiving direction from Google Maps. Once you are complete, you can sync your activity data from the third-party Android Health and Fitness App using Google Health Connect.
Garmin is not the first company to apply such a feature, but it is a welcome addition. My Apple Watch provides similar functionality through the Apple Maps app, and it is perfect for it when I need to get instructions without pulling my phone every time. I think this is not only ideal when I am on a run, but also for those times when I am in a busy city and want to keep my phone safely.
If the latest update of gamin seems as if you use, you can download the Google Maps app from Garmin Connect IQ storeWhere it is available for free.
