Is there a way to simply disply Google Maps on the Watch? I have Google Maps (obviously) installed on my Samsung Note 3 and irt says it's Android Wear compatable, but yet I do NOT see it in the watches apps and can't find a way to get it to pop up via a voice command.
You can voice command like Navigate to <Address> or home, work etc assuming that you have setup home address and work address in google now.

Thanks I know taht, but I was talking about just having the app itself running on the phone to display abitrary locations (like where I am now), not so much directions.
As far as I know if you are intending to have complete app on your wear watch that is not possible.

Currently you only get directions on the watch (via navigation)

Mini maps for wear (in Google Play) looks promising. Alpha state for now, but at least a map on your wrist

I have used DataSync+ application with my phone and Nexus tablet and I found it also works with the Gear. You need to have it installed on the Gear by using the PlayStore on the Gear.
Essentially this app needs to be installed on your phone and gear. It is used to transfer any application (and it's data if you want) that you have installed on your phone, and install/transfer it over to your Gear. I was able to get Tablet Talk that was on my phone and install it over on my gear with no issues at all. It works on any app. I also used it to transfer/install SwiftKey that I use on my phone over to the gear. Now the keyboard is much bigger (almost the whole screen) and easier for quick responses to texts in Tablet Talk.
For those HTC One users, I have almost every thing working on my gear with the only exception being the Notifications and Svoice. But that is solved with Tablet Notifications and Tablet Talk with Swift Keyboard. Everything else works fine, media controller, contacts, dialer, camera, gallery (push photos), find my device, call logs, etc.
I have the HTC One running with the ViperOne 3.1 RC2 | 3.62.401.1 | Android 4.3 Sense 5.5 ROM. & Gear with Null 11.1 Rom
Now this would be great info if you explained to us who are not tech savvy on how to get the AppSync+ application onto the gear. You start off your rcommendation by statin we use the app to transport applications onto our gear, but you never explain how to get the AppSync+ application onto the gear as a start point.
I spent an entire dayt trying different ways to get apps onto my phone by using the ADB method, etc. I did not want to go with the MObileMe method because people said it burns battery. Caught fits. So i would really be grateful if you would take a moment and walk me thru on how to get AppSync+ application on my gear so I can begin to port over apps to the gear---By the way this does not reqiure rooting does it?

You must have not read my second sentence where I mention using the play store from your Gear. Bluetooth tether the Gear to your phone, launch the play store from the gear, search for DataSync+ and download it and install to your Gear.
The APP does not require Root.
I mentioned in my original post the name to be AppSync+, but the name is actually DataSync+. MY APOLOGIES

Thanks for your prompt reply and for your patience.
I am going to spend the day doing this but since i am new to the tech scene I will need a few basic points (I know i am so new at this I really ought not be posting on XDA). From an elementary standpoint, I know my gear does not have the play store on it. When I "tether" the gear to my phone does opening the play store on the PHONE cause the play store to open on the gear and then be downloaded. I simply do not know how the tethering process works to download the play store to my phone.
Please don't give up on me as I really want to do what yoy recommended to me in this thread

SW,
No biigie, we were all beginners at one point. The way I tether is by having the Null 11.1 rom on my Gear. Once that process is complete and during the process of installing the rom you will see an option for gapps. Install it so the playstore app is included. once that is complete and you have paired your phone you then go to the settings app from the rom (blue icon) and click on bluetooth. you will see the phone you have paired to. Scroll to the bottom and click on the tethering option. You then have to enable tethering on your phone also. Once that's done and you are tethered you open up the playstore app on the Gear, enter your gmail account info then you search for Datasync+, then you install it.

To help clarify, does the Phone need to be Rooted? Data sync is saying this is required, once I installed it. Thanks.

Hi.
I try to use google maps with no success yet.
I use null rom, and share location with GearLocationBridge (and muck location is enabled)
Google maps launch but i cannot locate myself on the map.
On launch it says i must allow google app to use my location.
I didn't see the location menu on the parameters app from the gear, but i can get to it using google maps, and the sliders for allowing to use my location is ON.
But it didn't seems to have any effect.
I tried with both Maps 6 and 7.
Someone have a idea ?

Maybe because the gear doesn't have a built in gps?

There is no offline map program to install on the smartphone so the Gear can get the turn-by-turn text notifications? Maps is not supported as we know. Tried TomTom. I can activate notifications but... TomTom has no notifications at all, lol. Maybe Sygic? Anyone tried it?

It seems that some Sygic version is FC on some Note 3. On mine it crashes too. Should try Waze.
I'm on stock rom and unrooted for now. Got the watch a couple days ago so still messing with stock rom. Don't know if I could really get beneficts from Null rom for my kind of use.

Not exactly the same.
With navme, google maps works on the phone and on gear only map and notificación of address appears
In this way, it is easier to run google maps cause its no necessary load google maps on gear and share gps by BT
I generally use Google Maps 6.14.4 as my preferred version of GM. I've frozen AT&T Navigator. I'm thinking I could somehow set it up so that when I select AT&T Navigator I instead get GM 6.14.4, and install the latest version of GM as itself.
Any other methods of converting GM 6.14.4 so that it is a stand-alone app, not updateable via Google Play, would be welcome.

I've done that in the past, but it appears to have mixed results, in that it will be "unlinked" temporarily but will be re-"linked" the next time I open the Play Store. It's not what I'm really looking for, though--I want to make this version of GM apk a separate, "on its own" app in some way. Making the system think that this apk is actually AT&T navigate came to mind as appropriate.
All,
One question I am seeking the answer to is can one unlink Waze from AA? Google maps will allow one to run Google maps on the phone and if using a screen mirroring app (e.g. screen2auto, AA Mirror, etc) one can stay in screen mirror road and use Google maps.
Waze, however, refuses to launch on the phone if Android Auto is running. I would like to be able to run Waze on my phone and mirror the screen, so that I do not have to go back to Android auto to see directions if I am mirroring my screen.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.
As far as I know, it is not possible to run two apps using the GPS in the same time. Take in account that even one of the navigation apps runs on AA (screen mirroring), this doesn't mean it is not using the same GPS sensor.

Uhi711,
I appreciate the response, but just to clarify, I am not asking about running two GPS app (though this is possible, as I have run magic earth and maps at the same time>. My question is specific if there is a way to run waze on the phone while connected to AA.
Hope this clarifies.
Cheers,
B.D.
Ok, I didn't understand exactly what you were asking.
I'm not sure that this will solve your problem, but it worth trying.
In AA settings (opened on phone), you have the option to choose what apps you want to be able to see on AA's apps screen (Customize launcher). Disable Waze and see what happens when you connect your phone to your car's infotainment system.

Not sure if this helps but I run Waze & Google maps at the same split screen each set to 2 different locations all the time. Never had any problems. [emoji2369]

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, when I tried this, Waze launched but then FCed.

Hmmmm. Strange. I tried on my Pixel 3xl and Waze will launch and then FC itself. Google Maps will run on my phone Even if I run Google Maps on my car, or Waze is running on my car. I am on the latest version of AA and Waze.
Thanks for the suggestions and information.
Cheers,
B.D.
Figured it out. If Waze is running (From the head unit), then it will not permit Waze to run on the phone (as the output is already to the head unit). I thought I had exited the app and not had it launch in Android Auto.
To overcome this, I used KWGT to create a widget that when pressed will call a Tasker Task to kill waze. Then I could start waze on the phone (mirror screen) and even have it split screen with my music app.
Hope this helps somebody else.
Cheers,
B.D.
