Navigation is Android Google Maps™ app navigation viewer for Huawei smartwatches.
This app shows navigational directions and plays voice guidance that comes directly from Google Maps™ Android app right on your smartwatch.
How it works:
First time after installation:
• Launch this Navigation Viewer companion app in phone or tablet
• Grant requested permission
Every time when you want to use navigation:
• Launch Android Google Maps™ in phone or tablet
• Launch Navigation Viewer client app in smartwatch
• Google Maps™ directions will be shown on smartwatch
• Google Maps™ voice guidance will be played on smartwatch
• Incoming manoeuvres are signaled in smartwatch by simple or advanced vibrations: left turns will be signaled via two short vibrations, right turns will be signaled via three shorts vibrations
ⓘ This app shows only directions, distances, manoeuvres and ETA, map is not displayed on smartwatch.
⚠ Voice guidance and advanced vibra notifications are played on the smartwatch when it is paired with Android 10 or below phone.
ⓘ If you have problems with displaying navigation directions on the watch, please check the following:
✓ Launch this Navigation Viewer host app in phone and check if all permissions are granted
✓ Make sure that watch and phone are connected via bluetooth
✓ Check Settings / Apps / Navigation / Battery / Allow background activity -> should be enabled or set to Unrestricted
✓ Make sure that notifications are enabled for the Android Google Maps™ app, go to Settings / Apps / Maps / Notifications
✓ Go to Settings / Apps / App launch, search for Navigation - G Maps Viewer, switch off the toggle, change to Manage manually (Huawei and Xiaomi users)
✓ Directions in watch are shown only when navigation in Android Google Maps™ is started (it is not enough to just launch Google Maps™ app)
Too expensive. Make it free.
Bought this app. Wanted to refund it after my 2 hour trip as it does not work at all. I have the Huawei P40 and this app does not work on my Huawei GT4 watch. It might show the navigation and after a few moments it will stop updating the map on the watch in real time as if it is freezing.
It takes 5 minutes to sync with Google maps notifications everytime,
No funciona
Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Basically a nice app when it works. Please improve it, and also add a voice guidance for newer android version and it'll be best app for sure.
Would be perfect if you add an option to turnoff navigation on the watch while androidauto connected
App not working, I ended up paying for it and I think I just got scammed. The watch doesn't open automatically the app, and is always stuck at a black screen saying "Waiting for Google Maps navigation in phone" when it already on in my phone. I spent hours trying to figure it out. I really really do not recommend.
