Google announced that Google Maps for IOS can be added to the apple watch app to support Apple's car system Carplay dashboard mode.

Google Maps on Apple watch seems to be a simplified version of the iPhone application. It can provide users with direction by direction travel instructions and estimated arrival time, but it will only provide indication information and estimated arrival time of destinations already stored in the application or shared from the online iPhone. The user can save the destination list, lead the forward direction from the current position, or start navigation on the mobile phone. When the user is walking, riding or driving, a simple icon, distance (feet / miles) and street name will be displayed, as well as public transport support information.

In addition to displaying full-color maps, the apple watch application also includes voice recognition, handwriting input, list access and a variety of interest point categories, which can help users navigate without using their mobile phone. It is unclear whether Google will actively add more functions to Apple's watch application. Google maps of wear operating system also includes voice input and map browsing functions.

In front of Carplay, the iPhone version of Google maps can work in the dashboard mode (supported by Apple maps). The dashboard screen will be separated, a mobile map will appear on the left, directional navigation information will appear on the top right, and music, podcasts, audio books and calendar reservation details will appear on the bottom right. Carplay dashboard has been opened to the operating system ios13 For the third-party developers of version 4, although Google maps is not the first application that can use this function, Google has supported Carplay with full screen map mode since 2018.On the Carplay dashboard, users can switch or pause songs, rewind or fast forward podcasts or audio books in their favorite media applications, or quickly view the schedule without leaving the item by item navigation of Google maps. Because the information will be displayed in a split screen view, users can get the information they need while maintaining their focus on the road.

All cars equipped with Carplay can use the Carplay dashboard mode of Google maps, and the apple watch app will be launched worldwide in the next few weeks. Both are available from the Google Maps app in the IOS app store.g
