Watchapp:
- Clearer arrival info: the strip now reads "ETA at 13:00" or "ETA in 0:25". Prefer the short "ETA" / "IN"? Choose it in Settings → ETA label.
- New Settings 'About': watchapp version, phone connection status, and a QR code to install the phone app.
Mobile app:
- Google Maps walking directions ("Walk towards…") now show on the watch.New: a live subtitle in your watch's app list. During a route, PebbleNTN now shows a countdown and your arrival time under its name, e.g. "In 0:24 · ETA 13:24". It keeps counting down while the app is closed, so you can check your arrival without opening it. Otherwise it shows "Navigate on phone" as a reminder of how to start. (Not on the original Pebble, Pebble Steel and Pebble 2, which don't support app subtitles.)
Also improved with the latest phone app (update it from GitHub or F-Droid or Obtainium):
• The street line no longer repeats the distance (e.g. "70 m · Turn left" now shows "Turn left").
• New languages: Italian for OsmAnd, plus Traditional Chinese for Google Maps, which works even if your phone itself is set to English.
• A redesigned phone app: setup checklist, watch connection status, easier rules and diagnostics.
• Found a bug or have an idea for a better app name? Use "Help shape PebbleNTN" in the phone app.
🚆 Public transit support: Train rides in Google Maps now show on your watch, with a new train glyph in all three glyph packs, the number of stops remaining, your station and your arrival time.
New in the companion app (update it to get these):
- 🚶 Walking directions: walking routes now show every step, including the last stretch to your destination.
- 🛣️ Lane guidance: "Use the left lane…" instructions now show as keep left/right arrows instead of the previous step.
- 🕒 Steadier ETA: your arrival time stays on screen during turns instead of sisappearing.
- ⌚ Optional auto-launch: you can now turn off opening the watchapp automatically when navigation starts, handy with Android Auto or a car display. Thanks @ajlunis!
Update both the watchapp and the companion app (GitHub, F-Droid or Obtainium) for the full experience.
Added option to select which navigation apps should be considered
Additional Navigation App Support:
- CoMaps
- Organic Maps
- OsmAnd (Thanks arnowelzel!)
- Google Maps Fix: Lowered the priority of localized ARRIVE notifications so that maneuver instructions are matched first (Thanks L0renz00!)
Please share your debug logs if you experience missing notifications with any of these apps or other navigation apps.
Also the mobile app has also been updated to encourage including street names in debug logs, as troubleshooting is very difficult without them. The option to share fully anonymized logs is still available, and these logs are also valuable for improving the app.

android: improved debug logs
watchapp: connectivity detection improvements
