About Mini Maps for Wear [ALPHA]

[ALPHA RELEASE]

A mini map for your Android Wear smart watch, pannable like Google Maps and powered by the Google Static Maps API. When opened, it should jump to your current GPS location if you have signal.

Double-tap the screen to re-center to your current location (requires GPS signal).
Long-press OR palm over your watch face to close the application.

This is intended to be a DEMO of what can be done with Android Wear, not a final product. Consider this an ALPHA release. Occasional glitches may occur and reports would be appreciated. If you find your watch not receiving data, try restarting Bluetooth on your phone (known occasional issue).

Future releases will be more polished once I start to iron out all the glitches. I am making this open source and welcome contributions from developers.

Depending on where I am located the map won't load and show the map. As if certain segments or pixels of the map are missing.

Working fine on my Moto 360, thanks for the update

It works as advertised, but why haven't there been any updates? It's been in "alpha" for a pretty long time now.

Z70%

Unfortunately the maps do not update when moving. I understand it is in alpha. Hopefully this will get fixed!

C70%

Doesn't work on my LG G Watch.

Best maps for wear I've found do far.

C70%
by C####:

This is already a good app for an alpha version. Works very well with LG Urbane, and Samsung Galaxy SII and above.

C70%
by C####:

1) please put there small buttons + and - to zoom 2) impossible to swipe the app off with these two features this app would satisfy almost everyone! thx

X70%
by X####:

Would be 5 stars but not satellite view

C70%
by C####:

It doesn't load on my smartwatch 3, just black screen. Hope this will be fixed because this is a great idea that should have been standard on android wear.

Does not work

K70%
by K####:

Adding a zoom function on this app will be the icing on the cake it's developers like you that make using wear a joy. Works a treat on LG watch r and note 4

F70%
by F####:

Fantastic little app to display a map of where you are on the watch. I would often use this app to demonstrate how awesome my watch was to people, and it always seemed like the most-obvious feature. Of course, Google thought so too, and now with Android Wear 5.1.1 there is a slightly nicer official Google Maps app for Wear, making me question keeping Mini Maps installed....

X70%
by X####:

Can't save some area offline on phone and send to sw3

Y70%
by Y####:

hii.. Nice app loved it. Only problem i faced that setting was not opening on phone app on my Android L nexus 4. I think that might be problem problem of L. hope you will fix this.. :) thanks

Y70%
by Y####:

Good start. As per others. Doesn't track you when your moving. Also a zoom option would be great and able to spin screen around. Good start though and has come in handy

W70%
by W####:

Doesn't work on LG G watch R. Like others said just shows blue dot and arrow and 4 small maps with a line through them.

Y70%
by Y####:

Nice little app, which works really well on my Sony Smartwear 3

Y70%
by Y####:

I would like to be able to enter an address with voice recognition or the flickkey keyboard. Would also like the navigate feature. Also like map to rotate with compass heading.

P70%
by P####:

For a proof of concept and to get the ball rolling on maps on the watch, this does exactly what it says it will. Running happily on a moto 360

B70%
by B####:

Opens,finds position, closes pressing the centre.....good start.

P70%

Wtf Google? Great work man. Can't wait for zoom

X70%

It doesn't load on my smartwatch 3, just black screen. Hope this will be fixed because this is a great idea that should have been standard on android wear.

Y70%
by Y####:

Good start, love the idea. Maps are very slow to load, sometimes don't load before the screen times out. Hope to see this app developed more!

Q70%

Doesnt work on LG G Watch

Y70%
by Y####:

It works for ped, not for driving. Yes, it's odd Google has left this to indies.

Y70%
by Y####:

As the passenger, it would be nice to use this so I can give directions to the person who is driving. Other than that little nitpicking, I love the app.

W70%
by W####:

Very neat, and sometimes handy, but I don't travel really. I'm sure its much more useful to people that travel. Still cool and I use it anyways haha
