Open it and grant the permissions
On first run the app asks for Location, Bluetooth and Notifications. Without Location it cannot work out a route; without Bluetooth the watch never receives guidance.

Connect your watch
Pair the watch in its own maker's app first — Huawei Health, Mi Fitness or Zepp — and leave that app running in the background. Then open G Navigation, go to the device section and pick your watch; the app installs the navigation screen onto it for you. Amazfit only: in Zepp, choose the watch → App Store, find G Navigation and install it on the watch; when G Navigation first opens, pick Amazfit as the brand.

Pick a destination and start
Search for the address on the phone and tap Start. Turns appear on the watch for the whole ride; keep Bluetooth on and do not swipe the app away.

On a Huawei watch the guidance screen runs on HarmonyOS Lite Wearable 5.0 and later; a watch still on an older build should be updated in Huawei Health before installing.

Not supported
- WATCH FIT SE and WATCH FIT 2 - the app mistakes these two screens for a simulator and never connects to the phone.
- WATCH 4, WATCH 5 - full HarmonyOS watches; the build for them is not released. The WATCH Ultimate runs Gnavi Lite like the GT line.
- WATCH GT 2 and GT 3 - they run LiteOS and take no third-party app.
- Redmi Watch 5, Redmi Watch 6, Xiaomi Watch S4 and Smart Band 9/10 - official Mi Fitness refuses the install.
The watch refuses the install
Official Mi Fitness refuses third-party apps outright on some Xiaomi and Redmi models. It fails before G Navigation has sent the watch anything at all.
