Fitbit smartwatches offer Google Maps Is it true

While travelling, Google Maps is helpful and relatively beneficial. The good news is that Fitbit watches can also be used. Google Maps may be used by owners of a Fitbit Sense 2 or Fitbit Versa 4 wearable. However, only Android phone owners can access the upgrade; iPhone owners must wait until 2023, which is a short distance away.

  • The app allows you to configure Google Maps navigation on your Fitbit device after you touch it.
  • Maps will appear in your watch's list of apps after setup is complete.

Owners of the Sense 2 and Versa 4 can now download Google Maps for Fitbit. However, the actual step-by-step navigation still needs to function.

Today, launching the Fitbit app's device settings page should display a new Google Maps tile (underneath the one for Wallet). Only Android users should see this; iPhone compatibility will arrive in 2023.

  • Google Maps will appear in the watch's app list.
  • The integration, however, still needs to be operational.
  • The wearable application does not display your "Current travel" at the top.
  • There should be a "View" button if everything functions properly.
  • The Google Maps download and required permissions are granted before tapping initiates the Fitbit setup procedure.

Does the map support all features?

People comprehend the fundamental features. Google Maps for driving will be available to Fitbit users and will be enabled automatically. However, cycling and walking are not supported by this auto-start function. To utilise Maps for various purposes, users can access the settings. Fitbit's companion app has access to the capability, so the firm still needs to make step-by-step navigation available on the smartwatches.
