Garmin smartwatches now have access to the Google Maps app through the Connect IQ Store, offering turn-by-turn directions on the watch display.
Users can sync their Android phone's Google Maps app with the watch, receiving notifications and vibrations for each new direction.
While Google Maps is already available for Apple Watch and Wear OS devices, Garmin is catching up with this addition for select Venu, Forerunner, Vivoactive, and Fenix products.
This integration allows Garmin users to continue fitness tracking activities without interruption while utilizing Google Maps on their smartwatches.
