ⓘ In a car while you driving is recommend to switch to GPS sensor instead using magnetic field (magnetometer) sensor because magnetometer is not reliable in the car and might show incorrect bearing. Just disable 'Use magnetic field sensor' in settings views on watch app or click ‘car’ icon in case phone app. Note: the icon is not visible when device doesn’t support magnetometer.

ⓘ No internet connection required. However, the internet permission is added to help pick up a location from a map when you add a new waypoint.

ⓘ Location permission required because the app uses GPS signal and magnetometer sensor to calculate navigation route.

User reviews

I don't know why this is not a more widely used app. It just works, no hiccups, and to navigate BACK to a point it is way easier to use than Google Maps. The interface is not perfect but once you become familiar with it, in pretty short term, it is user-friendly, just not quite obvious in early use. I have it on my Pixel 9 Pro smartphone (Android 15) and my Pixel Watch 3 (Wear OS5). Not sure if I like the quick access arrow on the watch face; but I don't hate it either! No reason not to rate 5
