Get turn-by-turn directions with Google Maps

[RebeccaFitbit]

Hey Fitbit Community, 

What’s more convenient than getting real-time directions without pulling out your phone when you’re running late? Nothing, which is why for the first time we’ve brought Google Maps right to your wrist. The interactive on-screen view and turn-by-turn directions on your smartwatch will easily guide you to wherever you’re headed.

Whether you’re on a walk exploring a new city, want to take the fastest route to tonight’s dinner, or just need reassurance that you’re headed in the right direction to your yoga class, Google Maps gives you reliable, real-time navigation so that you can explore your world more confidently.

To start Google Maps make sure Bluetooth is on and the Fitbit app is open on your phone. Then open Google Maps on your phone, enter your destination, and press start, turn-by-turn directions will automatically begin on your smartwatch. At the end of your navigation, you’ll see a summary of your stats that includes steps, Active Zone Minutes, heart rate, and more during your route.*

Head to Fitbit.com, the Google Store, or select global retailers to get yours today.

When do you use Google Maps the most? When you want the fastest route to a familiar spot or when you need directions to a new restaurant? Join the discussion and let us know how you use Google Maps on your FItbit.

*The Google Maps app needs to be open on your Fitbit device in order to receive turn by turn directions. Google Maps will not work if other apps are running.
