Why is Google map navigation not available FR255

I guess because it's too old when looking at other supported devices: apps.garmin.com/.../f140ff7f-d19e-49f1-b851-01c7e0009d6c

It is unfortunate the watch lacks a few handy features: e.g. Training Readiness, Google Navigation support. 

What does being fit for training have to do with navigation?

because garmin is greedy

Apparently you don't know and don't understand that this IQ app is not written by Garmin, and calling people names doesn't require a lot of intelligence or knowledge.

None, only in the answer you were told that 255 is not supported by the Google Map application - which is absolutely true. You can contact the developer of the application "Google LLC" and ask him the question directly. To paraphrase you - what relation do the users of FR255 (this forum) have to the development of the Google Map application by the developer Google LLC?

It's probably a coincidence that it's only available on the latest models and "poor" Garmin has nothing to do with it. Moreover, these pifateless customers don't want to change to a new model every year. Where has this world gone?

Or maybe it's simpler and the screen resolution of 255 is too low? And the global conspiracy has nothing to do with it?

-1 from you is like a reward for me, have a nice day.

Yes, the FR255 260x260 resolution is too small for arrows, but the FR265s 218x218 resolution is fine...

Here's an explanation.

Really? For example, FR165 has a resolution of 390x390 - apparently your ideas about the sufficiency of the resolution 255 do not coincide with the ideas of the developer. Nothing prevents you from writing your own application for GoogleMap, all libraries are open and the documentation for them too - i.e. absolutely free, good luck. And chatting about how others work poorly is not the same as showing by personal example how to work.

You trolled yourself good. Hope you're feeling better now.

Yeah, it seems pretty arbitrary that it supports the FR955 and not FR255.

As far as I know, the two devices listed the same kinds of CIQ app memory capacity, last time I saw the spec details.
