Xperia users will now have another navigation option to choose from as Garmin announces a new way to navigate. The new app will also work with Sony’s SmartWatch 2. The app itself will include onboard maps, lane guidance, speed warnings, social media integration among other things. The smartwatch extension will display walking directions and provider user navigation without the need to look at your phone. Joern Watzke, VP of world-wide mobile business at Garmin Wuerzburg GmbH, had this to say:​


“We’re thrilled to bring Garmin’s premium navigation features to Xperia smartphones. Garmin XperiaEdition boasts a comprehensive navigation feature set not available from other apps. The unique integration with Sony SmartWatch 2 provides users a seamless experience that extends smartphone navigation in the car to displaying pedestrian directions on the user’s wrist.”​


The SmartWatch 2 extension will be available in the Play Store and the Garmin Xperia Edition app will be free to try for 30 days. After that, users can get the complete set of features for a monthly fee of $2.95 a month or users can pick and choose what they want via a one-time in-app purchase. Pricing isn’t known but Garmin is looking to make this available next month. Hit the source for the full presser.
