Garmin has released a free Google Maps app for its smartwatches that provides basic turn-by-turn navigation for walking, cycling, and running. The app operates similarly to the version on the Apple Watch, lacking more advanced features like destination searching. Users must set their destination using the Google Maps app on an Android smartphone, which needs to stay within range. The app vibrates to alert users of upcoming turns and displays the next three turns, while also tracking fitness performance during use. It's compatible with over 90 different Garmin smartwatch models.
