Overview

• The Google Maps app is free to download from Garmin’s Connect IQ Store for compatible smartwatches paired with Android phones.
• Users receive dedicated turn-by-turn directions on their wrist, including a preview of the next three turns.
• Support is limited to select Venu, Forerunner, Vivoactive and Fenix models, and iOS devices cannot install the app at launch.
• Navigation guidance runs in the background during walk, run and bike workouts without interrupting distance, pace or heart-rate recording.
• This move narrows the mapping gap with Apple Watch and Wear OS devices, although offline map support is not yet available.
