"Garmin watches can display turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps, providing notifications for upcoming turns while allowing users to record activity metrics."
Garmin has officially integrated Google Maps into its Connect IQ app store, providing Android users with turn-by-turn navigation directly on compatible watches. Users can set destinations via their smartphones and receive navigation alerts through vibrations on their wrist. Despite this advancement, iOS device owners are excluded from this feature. This addition marks a significant improvement in Garmin's app ecosystem, which has struggled to attract major third-party applications. Future developments could follow, potentially including LTE support and enhancing overall device functionality.
