KwikMap Widget
· v0.11.27
About
I think this is the first map widget on the Garmin store that doesn't require a companion app. You can get a live map instantly, and even during an activity.

# Notes
This widget works by using bluetooth communication to the Garmin Connect app on your phone.
If you are streaming music to bluetooth headphones, the map acquisition may not work as this can overload the bluetooth communications channel. Just put your headphones on pause to get around this.
