Hi Orux
Is there further improvement of support of android wear/wear OS? I.e. displaying 1) current track on 2) smartphone-map on smartwatch? As I see the general improvment and the multiple issues, you've to maintain, I suppose....not?
Best reagrds, Joska
That works already.
Hi
Maybe I'd understood wrong or my question was missunderstandable; I'm interested to see the actual smartphone-map on the watch (not the google maps) and the actual track, no route, inside this map.
Is this possible? If, I would be happy to get a hint, where to raed about this?
Best regards, Joska
Hi Orux
Just 2 hours ago, I was on a trip around my city, using pathes through forrest and hayfield.
On the SWR50, I'd seen the red line of the stored route, one blue point and no further information of the, for these issue unusable, google map. I can't see my track, nor small pathes or different hints on a map.
I asked it sometimes ago, and if I remember right, you'd planned to improve these features. I fear, that because of so much diverent other issues, these development is staying at the end of your roadmap, but I want to remark my interesst too.
Best regards, Joska

Currently, the smartwatch app uses google maps, because porting all the map development from the phone app to the clock is impossible today.
Android smartwatches have too many limitations, their development has not had the expected interest; Many of people who used them abandoned those widgets soon; it has no sense that you have to be so aware of the battery charge.
In addition, there are other smartwatches better in performance, incompatible with android wear. Spend more time, seeing that many brands have stopped building/manufacturing devices with android wear is a risk.
I can not promise anything about the evolution of that app.

Orux, sorry but I think that's is not true. The main navigation app on the play store have the wear app. locus Map, viewranger and more...
For example locus Map wear app has the possibility to show on the smartwatch the same maps that you can see on the smartwatch.
I think that the develope of Android wear app is one of the first priority!
Thank you for your patience
Hi Orux
I am happy to read the comment of mntr86. By the way, I'd tested this feature with locus and I can confirm, that with locus it ist possible to see the smartphone-used map on the smartwatch. The other features, I'll test on an hike this day. I believe, I understand, if you are not interested to develope this feature, because of a small group of users, but I hope still. Oruxmaps seems to become a high featured app for so many circumstances, but using it as an offline map-viewer for hiking and biking seems to be one of the main issus, people use it. These are the biggest group, I suppose, and a lot of them would use a smartwatch too, if these featrues would be supported.
May be I'm wrong, but if not......
Best regards an thank you again for you great app. Joska
It is exactly, as mntr86 said, the addon Locus for android wear shows the smartwatch-map, the route in a blue and the active track in red color.
;)
Hi Orux
Did you improve smartwatch-support since last year?
Best regards, Joska
Hi Orux,
What I would suggest is to get real time data from Huawei Health (gps, heartbeat).
Is there a possibility that this feature will be implemented?
