About Gear Fit Navigation

This application displays Google Navigation instructions on your Samsung Gear Fit 1 smartwatch. (Not compatible with Gear Fit2!)

Note:
- Supports horizontal and vertical layout
- Additional to the text it shows icons for left, right, continue, highway exit and u-turn.
- Option to vibrate
- This application only works on devices which have Gear Fit Manager.

How to use:
- Install Gear Fit Manager and connect with your Gear Fit device.
- Download and install this Gear Fit Navigation app.
- Start Gear Fit Navigation app on your phone.
- Allow the app to read notifications. (Go to: Settings > Security > Notification Access and enable Gear Fit Navigation). Then restart the app.
- Start Google Maps Navigation and messages and direction icon will be pushed to your smartwatch.

Troubleshooting
- If the app still only shows the "waiting" message, please ensure that maps notifications are activated and displayed on your phone (Go to: Settings > More > Applications > Maps and enable "Show notifications").
- Restart smartphone AND Gear Fit
- Uninstall and reinstall the app

For non-samsung smartphone users: Gear Fit officially only works with Samsung smartphones. However GearFitManager version 1.108 works as well on phones as with this app, so we recommend to use version 1.108 if you have problems.

I was using this app on my gear fit everyday loved it, however now it just show ETA which I don't need please fix this problem quick, I am super disappointed that it has changed. I need turn by turn like it used to be not anymore. Does not work with Samsung Galaxy S5!!!

X70%
by X####:

It works well and it shows up on the gear fit but the only bad thing is that it does not vibrate at all please fix the vibration function for it

Q70%
by Q####:

Please development, if you are reading this, make the gear dim screen or switch off until a turn comes up in a few hundred meters and then switch off again.

Drains battery, hit and miss notification / vibrations

H70%

Why force screen to stay on? Please fix! Even stays on after navigation finished. Uninstalling.

Always waiting at my note 4 5.1.1

Z70%
by Z####:

I drive a motorcycle and this app is great. I don't have to mount my phone on the handlebars and risk is falling off. My phone is safe and secure in my saddlebag where it can be charged at the same time. The screen staying on all the time cuts into life, but I keep a spare battery pack to recharge it while stopped for meal breaks. Also, I only use it when needed. As an example; I don't need it to tell me about a turn in 50 miles, so I turn the screen off by pressing the power button. I reactivate it when I arrive at the city, and use the directions then in the last 10 miles of the journey. Saves battery power.

W70%
by W####:

Screen needs to shut off between turns with gesture and or selection of button to wake ? Kills my battery.

H70%
by H####:

I get stuck there

E70%
by E####:

I followed all instructions and all that does up on gear fit is msg "waiting for Google maps" doors absolutely nothing else, would like a refund but didn't see that option in play store. What a huge rip off... Very disappointing!

Z70%
by Z####:

Did not work. I have a samgsung s3

Z70%
by Z####:

Please fix the vibration and let it vibrate at 800 feet and 400 feet because if it vibrated at 100 feet you would get a vibrate when you were passing the street!

Z70%
by Z####:

i ran the app on the gear fit as instructed then open the google navigator and select a route but directions are not sent to the gear fit. it just says its waiting for the phone to communicate with the gear fit. notifications enabled but still no luck. no support, does not work samsung s5

L70%
by L####:

the fit kept "waiting for google maps navigation", and did not get past that, until I tried the full solution, instructions could've been a little clearer. Navigation and GPS within Google Maps needs to be activated before fit links.

S70%
by S####:

Works, but it stays on. I would prefer that it vibrate and show me the directional information then dim, then turn off until the next direction. Staying on kills my battery and after driving for an hour my Gear Fit is dead.

B70%
by B####:

It works but DOES NOT VIBRATE, it's kind of hard to be driving and focusing on your watch waiting for the next turn...this is a safety hazard. I missed a few turns due to this issue. PLEASE FIX!!!!

S70%
by S####:

As noted in other reviews, it would be nice if there great fit dimmed between navigation points. Also you have to have your mapping program in kilometers for the vibration alert to work. If this allowed the user to customize the units, threshold for alert, and dimming timeout I would give this 4 or 5 stars.

P70%
by P####:

Only work in the fiest time and It does not work in the second time and the next..next....time. The direction was not sent to my gear fit.

U70%
by U####:

Doesn't vibrate like it says it does so you don't know when your turning is coming up. I bought this for cycling and I can only use it when the sound is on on my phone. Making this app pointless and a waste of money. Screen stays on when it would be better if it light up and vibrated when approaching turning. Please fix and update as I feel like I have been robbed.

V70%
by V####:

At least it should do what is described. It does not vibrate to alert. Also would be better if it dimmed in between turns.

Y70%
by Y####:

By far my favorite app for Gear Fit.

S70%
by S####:

Vibration 100 meters prior to a turn? 100 m is not enough to react specially if driving in a highway.

S70%
by S####:

It works well. vibration does not work to remind you of turns coming up. : (

H70%
by H####:

It doesn't work even i click on setting it always quit from this APP

O70%
by O####:

Be great if the vibrate feature worked. Added bonus would be to force Fit's display brightness to 'outdoor mode'

I70%

Does not vibrate on upcoming turns like it says.
