Google recently introduced the Pixel Watch 3 with support for offline Google Maps. Now this feature has started to appear on other smartwatches running Wear OS.
This feature is available in the beta version of Google Maps 11.140.0701.W for Wear OS on the Pixel Watch 2 and should soon be extended to other models.
After updating the app to the beta version, you will see a new Offline Maps page above the Settings option. The watch app also automatically downloads a map of your area by synchronizing other offline maps from a connected smartphone.
In addition, it synchronizes offline maps when the smartwatch is connected to a Wi-Fi network and charging.
Offline Google maps allow users to navigate using a smartwatch even if it does not have an active Internet connection or a connection to a smartphone with the Internet.
