Google Maps (5.52)is now compatible with watchOS, which means that if you are already used to the app on your iPhone, you just need to update it to follow a route from your wrist. Good to know, however: not all the features of the iOS version have been duplicated.
In fact, on the watch, only navigation indications are offered, butthe planisphere is not compatibleunlikeApple Plans. However, the GPS remains very clear and we find the same icons as on cell phones. Several means of transport are available, including cycling, car, walking, buses and metros.
Travel and connected objects
Furthermore, ahaptic feedbacktakes care of notifying the user when it is necessary to turn, while it is also possible to return to Google Maps from a shortcut accessible on the home screen. So, the danger is less than taking out your smartphone while driving.
In order to avoid distractions, it is however recommended to instead rely onwireless headphones with noise reduction turned off-like AirPods- for this kind of travel. Otherwise, it seems that only connected glasses with augmented reality like Solos orthose that Apple would prepareare an acceptable solution in terms of road safety.
