Integration with Google Maps

Former Member over 6 years ago

Is there any way to integrate Google maps with navigation on Instinct? For example, use Google maps on Android to make a route on the fly and send it to the watch via Bluetooth?

If not, does the watch shows Google maps direction notification? (Turn right, left on ...)

I have not tried such kind of navigation you want (turn-by-turn ) on Instinct, but Fenix 3, which also did not have loaded maps, could also be used as turn-by-turn navigation device.

3 years ago on https://ridewithgps.com/ I made Routes, exported them as .TCX, converted TCX to FIT with program CourseTCX2FIT (https://www.dropbox.com/s/4fdzqmzgzum6tvr/CourseTCX2FITRC1.zip?dl=0) and uploaded to F3. While navigating, F3 did not show the map, but warned me before the crossroads - with the arrow and distance to the crossroads.

Nowadays, this is also possible if you make Route on connect.garmin.com and send it to your device. But, as I said, I have not tried it on Garmin Instinct yet.
