Blaze and Google Maps notification

[SunriseRun1250]

I have enabled google maps on my dashboard but i'm not getting any turn notifications on my blaze.

HAs anyone had this working? Could be useful for walking or biking.

Has anyone seen an Apple Maps notification option?

Currently google maps speaks it's notification and doesn't display it's message on your phones lock screen. So there is nothing there that can be sent to fitbit.

There may be something to push as I get notifications that look similar to this

I can't remember if i saw it on the lock screen but i'll check next time

That type of notification looks as if it should be able to be sent to the Blaze, as long as the whole message is not a gralhic.(unlikely)

Interesting.

Any official word @AndrewFitbit

It works!!! I'm not sure why isn't not been working but I have a feeling my blaze is playing up as i'm having other alarm issues..

I set google maps with some walking directions and put my phone in my pocket. I then received notification on where to turn on my blaze.

How did you get it working??? 

Doesnt work for me. Gmaps does send notification to my blaze, like updates, etc. But not turn by turn notification. I do receive google maps app notification on my phone`s locked screen, but it does not show on the blaze. I would really like to know how to make it work.
