If you have a smart bracelet, or a smart watch Xiaomi, surely there is an app that you have missed: Google Maps. The Xiaomi Mi Band 4 and Mi Band 3 do not offer support natively, nor do the Amazfit Bip and Cor. However, thanks to an application we can receive the navigation instructions directly on the bracelet, useful if we are going a foot, above all, although it also works by car.

Google Maps is undoubtedly one of the best GPS navigation apps for smart phone. But when we have a bracelet or a watch, sometimes we are not interested or it is not comfortable to take out the mobile. So, obviously, the ideal would be for this app to be integrated into the wearable. In many it happens natively, but in wearables of Xiaomi, Unfortunately it is not. And as a solution, the application Mi Band Maps covers exactly this lack of the Mi Band and the Amazfit.

Google Maps integrated into your Xiaomi Mi Band or Amazfit

If you need to receive the indications de gps navigation from Google Maps on the Xiaomi Mi Band 4, on the Mi Band 3 or on the Amazfit Bip and Amazfit Cor, this app serves precisely to give them that function. And in each device it fits perfectly with a specific interface. In it, one way or another, we will be able to see in which direction we have to continue, and at what distance, as well as the remaining distance to reach our destination among other information.

The time it will take to arrive is also displayed on the screen, whether we are going on foot or by car, with the corresponding indications. And we can also visualize, with real-time updates, the Exact time to which we will arrive at our destination according to the forecast of Google Maps. All the information we need on our routes, but in a simplified way and adapted to the screen of each of these Xiaomi devices.

There is only one 'trouble' in this application, and it is that it is dependent. That is, in order for it to work on Xiaomi wearables, in all those that it is compatible with, we must have the application installed We Fit from Xiaomi or Notify & Fitness. However, Mi Fit is the app we need, on our Android mobile, to configure both Xiaomi bracelets and smart watches and keep them constantly synchronized.

And the other drawback is that the application is paid. Are 0,99 Euros what it costs and can be shared with several users if we have a family account set up. Therefore, for just one euro it costs, it is worth it to be able to use Google Maps on Xiaomi bracelets and watches.
