Description
You have an an iPhone and a Pebble — the ultimate in cutting edge mobile technology. However, there’s one small problem: your watch won’t tell you when the next turn is! Enter Smartwatch GPS for Pebble. Armed with the power of the Apple Directions API, this app turns your smartwatch into a personal navigator.Key features:
* Notifications on your Pebble before each turn (even if you leave the watchapp)
* Simple display that doesn't drain your watch battery
* Automatic backlight activation when you approach a turn if it is dark outside (based off of the sunset time at your current location)
* Automatic recalculation when you get off track (strangely missing from most Pebble GPS apps)
* Pin-drop navigation to custom locations (as near as possible via known roads)
* Powered by Apple's directions API (MapQuest support is coming soon if that's not your thing)
NOTE: Requires the Pebble Pilot GPS app to be installed on your Pebble. https://apps.getpebble.com/applications/5388edc1b2d0eb1a4b00001d
NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
What's New in Version 1.7
* Improved turn-by-turn direction tolerances* Increased leniency when the GPS accuracy is poor due to a weak signal or interference from tall buildings
