    Google Maps comes to Garmin watches, bringing turn-by-turn navigation to your wrist

    • Garmin has released an official Google Maps for its smartwatches that offers turn-by-turn navigation when your smartwatch is connected to an Android phone.
    • The app can show the next three turns and notify users of upcoming turns with a gentle vibration.
    • The app is compatible with over 90 Garmin smartwatch models and is available for free on the Connect IQ store.



    Garmin users have long had to rely on third-party apps like Maps Nav to get turn-by-turn navigation from Google Maps on their smartwatches. That workaround is no longer necessary, as an official solution is finally here.

    Garmin’s Connect IQ store now offers a Google Maps app compatible with a wide range of Garmin smartwatches, including several Venu, Forerunner, Vivoactive, and Fenix models. Unlike the Google Maps app for Wear OS, Garmin’s Google Maps app offers limited functionality, offering basic turn-by-turn navigation after you set your destination on your connected Android phone.
