Wear OS smartwatches now support offline Google Maps so you can leave your phone behind


Google has announced that Wear OS smartwatches will have support for Google Maps Offline, meaning you can sync maps to your wrist to get directions and information even if there's no phone connected or internet access available.

The new feature, announced via a blog post, means that Google Maps on a watch can now work in a similar way to Google Maps on a phone or tablet: locally saved offline maps can be loaded when there's no web connection.
