Google Maps Gets Updated To 8.1.1, Bringing Support For Android Wear

June 27, 2014 By LBSzone

Lucky developers and Google I/O attendees who received an Android Wear watch and tried to use navigation commands must have noticed that this aspect of the experience wasn’t working at all. Commands simply wouldn’t carry through to the phone. This will all be fixed with the update to Google Maps version 8.1.1. The update, which should be pushed to your device or coming shortly, squashes the regular bugs and adds support for Android Wear devices. The navigation and maps commands on the watches now carry through to the phone and are interpreted as expected. You can search for a location, start navigating, see directions, and exit when you’re done, all from your wrist.
