About
Google Maps sends the next turn of your route to the Watch, with a tap when it is coming up, so you can walk, cycle or drive without looking at the phone.
On the Watch, in short
Does Google Maps work without an iPhone?
No. The Watch app needs your iPhone nearby to work.
Does Google Maps have Apple Watch complications?
Not that we list. It works as an app you open on the Watch.
