Google Maps is now on smart watches with Android Wear



    Google Maps service has millions of users around the world. Thanks to Google’s maps, an ordinary person without any problems (subject to the availability of the Network or a pre-loaded map package) can find out where the desired object is located, which establishments are nearby, how long it will take to get to a certain place.

    Google Maps is the default service for most Android tablets and smartphones. Now Google maps have appeared on smart watches with Android Wear OS. At the same time, the company introduced version 9.9 - both for phones and for smart watches.

    True, the interface is adapted for a small clock display, with a size of about 1.6 inches. It is possible to zoom in and out, determine your own location and determine the cardinal points thanks to the compass arrows. Now Google Maps can be used without the need to work with the phone - almost all the functions are on the smart watch.

    Google Maps for Android Wear is always an active application that will remain so until the user closes the program. To save battery power, the application can work with a muffled display backlight in black and white mode (the program switches to this mode after the user has not worked with it for a certain time).
