Q1. I see ‘No GPS Signal’ dialog. How to fix it?
Please try following steps:
A1.1. Make sure that you use one GPS module at the same time – internal (from the smartwatch) or external (from the phone)
A1.2. If you use internal GPS wait a while (2-3 min) in place where GPS signal is good, for example close to the window
A1.3. Disable battery optimization for Galaxy Wearable app
A1.4. If you use external GPS, open any map application in the phone and check if there is correct position
Q2. How to use my own GPX file?
There are several gpx file formats. We support the Garmin standard.
First, convert your file to supported format:
A2.1. Go to https://www.alltrails.com/converter
A2.2. Upload your file, select: Convert to Track/Route, Download as: GPX Track -> press Convert file button
Now you have to copy the GPX file to your smartwatch to: Documents/GPS Navigation/gpx.
A2.4. You can use any transfer app available in the Galaxy Store or (little more difficult but free option)
A2.5. Change file extension to .mp3, go to Galaxy Wearable app and use ‘Add content to your watch’ -> ‘Add tracks’
A2.6. On the smartwatch use our free File Transfer app to rename and copy the file
Q3. How to find and export GPX file?
A3.1. Download any file transfer app on your watch, for example: http://somyac.com/apps/filetransfer/
A3.2. Navigate to the following directory on a watch: Documents/GPS Navigation/myroutes
A3.3. Send gpx file(s) to your phone or PC
The application is great, just please add the import of .gpx routes as well
Thank you, we will add import option in the next version.
I just bought the app. I miss much a video to use the app. It is hard work to prepare target Adress. On my galaxy watch I can’t even see ehat I type in, cause keyboard on the watch is covering to much on the display. I don’t know, how the app is searching the address. I was just able to type geo coordinate numbers. After choosing favorite place, routing is not starting. I don’t know why.
Hello, please contact us at support@somyac.com.
Hi, what about importing gpx-tracks (which were placed in documents/GPS Navigation) and then let navigate them?
(Sorry, first comment was on wrong post)
Hi, this functionality will be available in the next version (3.2).
How are we able to import gpx files?
Please read the info above (question Q2).
Can you add, route from Google maps to this app please, I have saved places on Google maps and would like to transfer to watch and use on this app.
Thank you for the idea. We will consider to add it in the next version.
Hi, I was just wondering if there is any way to store maps for navigation offline? I use gpx files but when I’m using app the maps always struggle to load. It always takes ages to load the map that’s of it loads it at all. Most of the time I just get a blank screen.
Hi, offline maps are not available in the current version. Speed of loading maps depends of the Internet quality.
Hello,
Is there a android app I can share my Google maps location from my smartphone to? And this shared location can then in the watch be used for navigation?
Hello, thank you for the nice idea. Currently it is not possible.
How and where do you access Documents/GPS Navigation/gpx when Samsung tell me there is no way to access my watch from a PC etc?
You can use our free app (available in the Galaxy Store): File Transfer And Manager Standalone.
Hello:
I live in Portugal. Can I use the maps here?
Then, if I go to other country for vacations do I have the maps for that contry?
Thanks for reading.
You can use maps in Portugal. The app works in the online mode, so it requires access to the Internet.
Hi I live in Scotland and was wondering if I can view the app on my phone?
Compra so App
How can I change the map from HERE to Google Maps?
And the voice input can support Cantonese?
Hello, you cannot change map but you can search address in Cantonese.
How you access Documents/GPS Navigation/gpx on Watch 3 from Samsung phone ? Nothing works as you describe ! You can’t rename file to mp3 and transfer it via Wearable to the clock. Wearable check the header of the file – so you can’t transfer a .gpx as a .mp3 file. I bought “File Transfer/GPS Navigator” full version, so please explain how to transfer a file from Samsung A51 to a Galaxy Watch 3 via File Transfer and back.
Hi, thank you for the question. I have sent you response via email.
hi how can i change the speech volume of the direction?
Hello, while you navigate tap on the bottom green panel (with arrows and commands) – you will see new view with volume button.
GPS Navigation from the Samsung wear store GPS is made by a company called [somyac] I have a ticwatch pro I was wondering if you could possibly try and send me a link cos I’ve had a look at the stuff online how to transfer it into MP3 and stuff to get it on a ticwatch but I’m struggling if you could help me out or point me in the right direction I’ll be much appreciated many thanks Wayne Hodgkins.
Hello, please contact us at support@somyac.com. We will help to find the solution.
Muchas gracias. ?Como puedo iniciar sesion?
Hola, lo siento pero no entiendo tu pregunta. ¿Dónde quieres iniciar sesión?
How do I find the gpx file on my Samsung Smart Watch?
And how do I export it to an other program?
Hi, please read question Q3 above.
I’m trying to get my gpx file onto my watch. I have followed the directions above to convert the file, bought the Somyac file transfer app and have transferred the file onto my watch using Bluetooth. But when I go into the GPS app on my phone and go to the import route (gpx) function it indicates “No data”. I think this might be because the file transfer app has the gpx file in the downloads file, not the Documents/GPS Navigation file indicated in the directions below. How do I get the file from the File Transfer/Downloads file into the Documents/GPS Navigation file?
Now you have to copy the GPX file to your smartwatch to: Documents/GPS Navigation/gpx.
A2.4. You can use any transfer app available in the Galaxy Store or (little more difficult but free option)
A2.5. Change file extension to .mp3, go to Galaxy Wearable app and use ‘Add content to your watch’ -> ‘Add tracks’
A2.6. On the smartwatch use our free File Transfer app to rename and copy the file
the watch is a Samsung active 2
Hello, please launch the File Transfer app, go to the File Transfer/Download folder, long tap on the gpx file, select copy option, navigate to the Documents/GPS Navigation/gpx folder, select paste option.
I have installed the newest version. But I can´t find an “import route” function.
Hello, what smartwatch model do you have?
Galaxy Watch 4
I have GPS reading ang point location but there in no MAP Display
Hello, please make sure you have an active Internet connection and it is not blocked by any antivirus or adblock software.
I am unable to install this application from the galaxy store as it is saying not available in my country. I am willing to purchase this application for my Active 2 watch, please guide and make this application available for me somehow.
Hello, the paid content (apps and watch faces) is not available in some countries. This is limited by the store.
I have a galaxy S2..how I leave the screen always on ?
The issue us screen lock and I need to touch the screen to unlock but I am on motorcycle
Please go to the app settings and select Screen Lock On.
I bought the pro license from googleplay store. However, my wear OS smart watch (Tic Watch 3 Ultra GPS) is not listed in the compatible list. I am using an iPhone with Wear installed.
Hello, please restart your watch and try again. Your device should be supported.
Hey, I bought the app and tried to download a map for use offline, but a couple things happened. For one, after I finished downloading it, the app says I need to set the map in my settings. (???) Do I have to use OSM Offline?
The second thing is when I go to use OSM Offline, it will only let me zoom out so far.
The third thing is, when I go to search any city in my US state (without an internet connection but with the proper offline US state map), it pulls up absolutely nothing, no matter what I type in.
Hi, you have to set OSM offline map. The app allows you to navigate and route tracking in offline mode. Search does not work yet. Please contact us at support mail, we will check the map issue.
Actually I messed up a bit! I posted this on the Tizen page for GPS Navigation, and I should have posted this on the Wear OS page for GPS Navigation. Does this change the status of any of these issues? Or should I still contact support? (support@somyac.com)
Hi, please contact support mail with info what offline map do you use.
Hello, i have the watch 5 and have bought pro version. I cannot download offline maps, it just says ‘please wait… 0/0% ?/?’
When will this issue be fixed?
Any tips?
Hello, please read question Q2 above.
Поиск и оффлайн навигация не работает, хотя есть лицензия. Маршрут не строит
Голосовой поиск также не работает. Пишет “Ошибка – 15”
Ещё вопрос. Я поменял телефон, как восстановить лицензию на новом?
Здравствуйте, вы должны использовать ту же учетную запись в магазине (в вашем новом смартфоне).
Hi. I´m a Galaxy S21 Ultra with Galaxy watch 5 user and I would like to kindly ask you how to send one existing .gpx file from my mobile phone to the watch and in what folder should I find it?
Hello, this functionality will be available in the future.
Hi, I recently went on a hike and tried to use the route function. The kept loading but it seemed like the gps was not locking. I switched to the online map and decided to start the hike w/o the route/map showing. I walked about 10 minutes and noticed the route finally appeared which was good because I was walking in the wrong direction. When I turned around to walk back, I noticed my watch was not tracking me. It looked as if my location was stuck on the point where I stopped and turned around.
Ultimately, I just ended up loading the gpx route in Samsung Health. Any suggestions on what I did wrong? I did not have any power saving options on.
Please send us more details at support mail. We will help to find the solution.
Also, one more question. What is the difference between the offline map options (Maps, POI, Route). I wonder if that was my issue.
Hi,
MAPS – offline data with map tiles/images
POI – offline data with list of POI (restaurants, shops etc.)
ROUTE – offline data for searching routes
