Map Feature & Navigation Instructions eg Google maps

It would be great if it would be possible to get navigation instructions on the smartwatch. Maybe as a notification from the Google Maps App.

Right now, and as a practical example, the Fitbit sense 2 has many missing features, like controlling music from your phone, Google Pay, Integration with google map, etc... missing, and it would be clearer to separate missing features from truly new features required.

This will be a good one, much more lighter without phones, i think it will also help tracking back history activity such as route

I’m super confused about whether google maps functionality does or does not exist?? I have a versa 4, and an iPhone. I have the google maps app installed on my Fitbit, but when I tap “set up” it takes me to a web page with a 404 error code. So, does the google maps app work only for android users but not for iOS?? If that is the unfortunate case, can we please get google maps to be usable on the Fitbit versa 4 when paired with an iPhone? Please??? That’s one of the top reasons I got this wearable, for navigating while riding my bike. So frustrating! Do I have to go buy an Apple Watch?

Very cool that this feature has been addressed, finally!! Only, I'm still
getting the same 404 error code when I attempt to set up google maps
navigation using my iphone's fitbit app. I've tried restarting both my
fitbit and the app, no dice. Any advice from someone on the fitbit team as
to how I can get this supposedly new functionality to actually function? I
use a fitbit versa 4 and an iphone 12 mini running ios 16.6
