Google has updated its Maps app for smartwatches.
Here's What We Know
The new version of the app has gained support for Always-on display, which allows you to display the map and turn-by-turn navigation even when the watch's display is off. The innovation only works on devices with Wear OS 3. For example, on the Pixel Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 smartwatches.
