Google Maps finally arrives select Garmin smartwatches for easy navigation


Navigate hands-free with real-time directions on your wrist.

Users interested in trying out the feature will be able to put their destination on Google Maps on their connected Android smartphone, and the app will then send notifications to their Garmin smartwatch — further giving directions on when to take turns while they are walking, running, or cycling, for example. The turn-by-turn notifications will be a game changer for those who want to stay hands-free and keep their phone in their pocket,” Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing, notes in the accompanying announcement post.
