Navigate with Ease: Navigation Pro For Smartwatches
Navigation Pro: Maps on Watch by Smartwatch Studios offers a seamless way to navigate effortlessly right from your wrist, but its performance isn't without flaws.
This app, Navigation Pro, allows you to display Google Navigation instructions from your phone on your Samsung watch. It is a useful tool for driving, cycling, and using public transport. With features such as autostart with navigation, voice output, customizable vibration, support for 102 languages, options for themes, and a speedometer, it offers a comprehensive experience.
In order to use this app, you will need to have the free companion app "Navigation Pro" installed from Samsung Galaxy Apps. Here are the steps to follow:
- Install Samsung Gear and connect with your Gear smartwatch.
- Install the "Navigation Pro" app on your watch.
- Install the "Navigation Pro" app from Google Play on your phone.
- Launch the "Navigation Pro" app on your phone.
- Grant permission for the app to read notifications by going to Settings > Security > Notification Access and enabling Navigation Pro.
- Start Google Maps Navigation and the instructions will be pushed to your smartwatch.
If you encounter any issues, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure that your Gear watch is connected to your phone and that you have "Galaxy Wearable" installed.
- If the app only shows the "Ready" message, make sure that map notifications are activated and displayed on your phone by going to Settings > Apps > Maps and enabling "Show notifications".
- Restart both your smartphone and Gear watch.
- If necessary, uninstall the app from your phone, restart your phone, and reinstall the app.
- If you have a Xiaomi phone, go to Security > Permissions > Autostart and activate "Gear Navigation".
Please note that the Wear OS app is not standalone and requires interaction with your phone to function properly. This app is compatible with all Galaxy Watch models, Gear S2 / S3 / Sport, Gear 1, Gear 2, and Gear S. If you have a Gear Fit2 (Pro), you will need to use a different app. You can find it here: Gear Fit2 Navigation.
