Although Apple Watch has a small screen, we can still use it to plan routes and navigate, especially when you are cycling, it is more suitable to look at the Apple Watch map route to find your destination.Therefore, this article will sequentially introduce how to use Apple’s built-in ” Map App ” and ” Google Maps ” on Apple Watch to use the navigation function.
How to use Apple Watch navigation?
We can use Apple’s built-in “Map” and the most popular “Google Maps” two apps to plan routes and navigate. The following will teach separately.
Use Apple’s built-in “Map App”
Although we seldom use the built-in iOS “Map App”, it can actually display the map route on the Apple Watch instead of only displaying text like Google Map.
step 1
The usage is very simple. It is recommended that you first open the “Map” on your iPhone and enter the destination you want to navigate.
Step 2
Then open the “Map” app on the Apple Watch. At this time, you will see it directly display the navigation route for you, but it is a text version. If you want to see the map, click the route directly.
Step 3
Map navigation will appear on Apple Watch. Compared with text navigation, this kind of map will be clearer.
Use Google Maps
The second method, we can also use ” Google Maps ” to navigate on Apple Watch . But first, you must install Google Maps on your Apple Watch.
step 1
After opening the Watch App on the iPhone, click ” Install ” on the right side of Google Maps to download it to the Apple Watch.
Step 2
After the installation is complete, open the Google Maps App on the iPhone, then enter the destination and start navigation.
Step 3
Then, open the “Google Map” on the Apple Watch, it will detect that you have a planned route, and directly click ” Estimated Time of Arrival ” under “Current Itinerary “.
Step 4
Here, the route to the destination will be displayed in text. At present, Google Maps does not provide a map navigation function on the Apple Watch like the Apple Maps App. You can only navigate by looking at the text.
to sum up
If you want to be able to use Apple Watch to navigate your destination, you can refer to the teaching method in this article and use the built-in iOS “Map” or “Google Maps”
