From the beginning of the presence of Apple Watch on the market, manufacturers haven't limited their users access to Google Maps. That changed in 2017 when Google Maps officially disappeared from Apple Watches. However, after 3 years of absence during upcomings months we will have some changes in this aspect. Apple decides to restore official Maps from Google to its device and the company has officially announced it.
The watchOS version of the application is to work in a similar way to the version from phones. Google Maps will advise users on the choice of routes while driving, but they will also serve customers while cycling or during walks. In addition, Google has decided to add CarPlay support to its Maps, which makes it easier for drivers to use the phone while driving. Support for CarPlay has been added to Google Maps for iOS.
