About

Maps4Garmin gives users access to live maps on their watch. Not only does it show your location on the screen, you can browse the nearby area as well! Plus, the maps are 100% free, and there is NO signup! Maps4Garmin also offers Weather Radar, which is a premium feature. The Weather Radar feature can be purchased for approximately $4.99 per year (365 days). Paid users may use the weather radar for the length of their license, or as long as it is available in this app. You can interact with the map, and zoom in and out on the map for all watch types. To learn more, please read the full instruction manual for this map app, found here: https://sirlancelot-garmin.blogspot.com/2021/12/maps4garmin-full-instruction-manual.html Weather Radar (Premium): Weather radar is available on many devices! Weather Radar even allows users with certain watches to view the radar animation. To buy the weather radar feature, on your watch open the menu (top right button on most devices), navigate to the weather radar button, and turn it on. Then follow the on-screen instructions to pay via KPay. You can request a refund up to 30 days after your purchase. Please visit this website for more info: https://kiezelpay.com/faq/faq-refund Maps4Garmin uses Open Street Maps (OSM) to get map data. Although this map may not be quite as good as other maps, it allows me to keep this app free. This app currently can only provide limited navigation, and this is for premium users.
