Car and watch
Start navigation on the phone and the same guidance appears on the car screen or on your Apple Watch. The route is always chosen on the phone.
FreeOffline map in the car too
Android Auto
On the car screen: the offline map, the turn arrow, the instruction, the distance to the turn, time and km to arrival, and an "End" button. Ending from the car also ends navigation on the phone.
Apple Watch
- While navigating: arrow, distance and text of the next turn, distance and time to arrival. It taps once below 200 m from the turn and harder below 50 m.
- While recording: recording on or paused, time, distance and altitude when available.
- With neither, it shows that there is no navigation.
It is a companion screen: it does not start routes, pause the recording or show maps or charts.
CarPlay: not yet
CarPlay is not available. Publishing a navigation app on CarPlay needs Apple's permission, which we have asked for and are waiting on. We will say so here when it arrives.
What it does not do
- You cannot choose the destination from the car or the watch: the route is opened on the phone.
- The car screen does not show surface, restrictions, rally roadbook or telemetry: they stay on the phone.
- If the car or the watch disconnects, the phone keeps guiding and recording.
