Description [menu]
For Android Wear, a true turn-by-turn GPS navigation. Eyes-free, hands-free and no voice. Just by vibrations on the wrist!
Powered by the Google Maps notifications operating on the smartphone.
Really useful on a bike for example. Not only. Driving too, when voice is not an option. Or walking when the sun make it difficult to see the screen.
You capture the turn notification in the following way:
One vibration pattern to turn right: bip. Another pattern to turn left : bip-bip-bip.
And for roundabouts : bip for first exit ; bip-bip for second, etc.
You can customize the strength of the vibrations.
The vibration happens at the right moment : when you need to prepare to turn. And this happens according to your speed.
Set up
After installation you have to open the UI on the smartphone : and you will be guided on how to grant permission to access notifications.
Then you have to open once the UI on the smartwatch : this will install a listener one the watch.
Back on the smartphone, you can customize the vibration strength.
Usage
Note that after setup, you don't need to use the UI any longer.
You just open Google Maps and start a turn-by-turn navigation. You'll receive the vibrations on the watch.
Left-hand traffic
In left-hand traffic countries, the right vs left pattern are reversed to match corresponding roundabouts logic.
Permissions. This app requires you the following permissions:
- vibration: obviously
