Hi,
I am looking for a simple map viewer for Gear 2.
There are a few apps for maps but they all focus on navigation. I am not interested in navigation. I just would like to have a snapshot of my location on Google Map. (Also maybe moving around the map by gestures.)
Is it too difficult to write such app ?
There are tons of nonsense apps which are really far more complex than this but nobody has ever wrote such simple one.
thx.

It could be more difficult then you think.
On android you put a mapview object in your app and ask it to load a map for a location, that is basically it.
There is also a web api for google maps to use in a browser (never done that myself);
That is what is need for the gear, but the gear browser (the apps are basically browser windows with html5/css/javascript),
can not get the maps data by itself, it has to get it via the phone app.....

I have already tried it today.
It's too far complex , and the result is:
- battery consuming on the phone, because the app has to be on foreground and it uses GPS all the time.
- battery consuming on the Gear itself. (nonstop connection to the phone)
- necessity to have a running navigation. Why do I need it when I just want to see a snapshot of my location ?
- necessity to run the app on phone (can't run anything to view on phone screen)
Instead of all that necessity and complexity, I am just looking for a snapshot of my current location. Maybe updated on touch of a screen, or update every few minutes...
This way it wouldn't consume battery of the Watch and the Phone.

in fact, a very simplistic approach would be;
- get a screenshot of Google Maps on phone every X seconds
- update it to the browser window on Gear 2.

But for the screenshot, the phone need to be on and then you could better use the phone anyway.
you want to be able to do it with the phone in your pocket, screen locked.
but keep thinking, maybe we discover a way to do it......
Hi,
Apart from my screenshot idea, I believe this is much more simple than creating a navigation app. It will just update the current location view periodically.
No one is interested in this ?
thx.
Finally. Someone made it. Thanks to Aleksandr Martiushev. App name is Gear Guide.

Never mind, it was a my error, it's also available for Galaxy S3. The app works fine, waiting for an implementation of a blue line for the indications, like on google maps!
This one actually works!

Works Great Thank You!
What are the origins of this? Would like to understand where it came from before installing an unknown source application that has access to nearly everything on my phone.
EDIT: The play store version is 3.2.38.104-0_100601_955220 claiming to be version "4". The APK above reports itself as 4.0.10-50. Is there a good way to tell if this is actually an official Samsung signed app?
Edit: Apparently, Samsung has managed to get their Play Store entry for the browser to work properly for Verizon S7x users. No need to be downloading unsigned binaries from elsewhere.

Pulling apart the APK of the larger version has some stuff in it that may be odd. There's a quick_access_server_data.xml file that points to samqaicongen.com. No clue what that is, but it's odd the Samsung Play Store version is missing a few things like that.

I had the apk linked to from this thread installed until this morning. I got a couple of messages from both it and the Chrome browser when trying to visit certain secured sites that I use (the well-known mail order prescription drug site expressscripts.com was one of them).
When trying to load these sites, I received a warning dialog that the certificate was invalid and the connection to the site could not be guaranteed to be safe.
After uninstalling the Samsung browser I loaded from the link on this thread, I no longer get the warning that the site's certificate was invalid.
I don't know what to think about this, but I feel better not trusting the linked apk.
Please think twice before using this apk that comes from who knows where.

Well, I don't understand the mysteries of the Google Play Store, that's for sure. Since my Verizon S7e could not download this app as early as this morning and now it can, I have to assume this is some kind of staged rollout. Don't give up hope!

Does the Samsung browser provide data for Google Now like chrome does? Will it share history with chrome too? Losing syncing is a big deal for me

When I long press for Google search while in the Samsung browser, it shows results pertinent to the contents in the browser's current tab, just like in Chrome.
Samsung Browser's history isn't shared with Chrome. Your Google search results should be carried over to any browsers set to use Google as default while logged in to the same Google account.
I've read that there's an add-in in the Chrome store that will sync Chrome bookmarks to your Samsung account, which would then, theoretically, make their way to your Samsung devices via syncing through your Samsung account. I haven't tried to get that working yet, or even gone looking for it, so take that info for what it's worth.

Have you checked apkmirror.com? Whenever google puts out an update to an app, or any app is updated in stages, normally this site already has it for people to sideload.
What about vpn? Have you tried opening your store via a vpn tunnel? You can set your vpn to other country. Tunnel Bear is a great one, give it a try.
Hello!
I was wondering if someone who owns the device already would let us know what applications are available right now. I read somewhere that there is nit too many besides some watchfaces. Samsung claimed 10000 apps, maybe for S2 but are they compatible for S3?
Specifically the most used apps on my Android Wear are like remote phone camera control Pixtocam, loyalty cards barcode display Wear Codes, Glympse, Backcountry navigator, Endomondo, Nest, Shazam...
Are the apps equivalent to any of those available?
From what I could find in the Gear store...

It looks like a lot of the S2 apps are compatible with the S3 so there is already a decent number of available apps and watch faces.
That's good news, might be a keeper then!
Thanx for checking.
One app I would really like is Spotify but it's not there. I haven't seen anything for the S3 that I want and the choice is limited at the moment. Gear navigator is a must app, most turns show up as street view using Google maps, it cost £1.99.
I am not sure about 10000, but there are a ton of apps on the Gear Store. Some are rubbish but there are some equally useful ones too. People complain that there are more watch faces than apps, this is true, but it's not a bad thing! The watchface after all is the thing you look at most so having a choice that suits your taste is essential.
I installed:
Here Maps
Navigator Companion
Yelp
Calculator
Gear Browser (Full function web browser!)
Flashlight Premium 2 (Torch)
Brrr (This cool utility makes the watch vibrate like crazy when you leave your phone behind!)

hey i would like to know what is the reason why I am not able to find the camera controller or camera gear and App launcher widget apps from the gear app store.
I have a Samsung Gear s3 and phone i have a Oneplus 3
Is there any apps to see movie showtimes and reviews? Sort of like Flixster with Rotten Tomatoes for your cell phone.
There are regions where Samsung Pay isn't supported, and the app is therefore not preinstalled on the watch. As a result, those users are unable to use apps such as GW4Remap to remap the bottom button long-press shortcut to anything else. In order to help that group of users, I made a simple app that remaps the shortcut to Google Pay.
The app works by simply being a fake Samsung Pay app that launches Google Pay whenever it's invoked by the system through the use of the long-press shortcut. Since trying to install the app on a watch where the real Samsung Pay has been preinstalled will result in a signature mismatch, this only works on watches from regions where Samsung Pay isn't preinstalled.
Releases · blunden/SPayToGPay
A helper app to remap the Samsung Pay button shortcut on the GW4 to Google Pay on watches shipping without Samsung Pay - blunden/SPayToGPay
github.com
NOTE: Requires rebooting the watch after installing the app.
EDIT: Version 1.1 works with Google Wallet.
EDIT 2: Version 1.2 hides it from the recent apps menu. No other changes.
I sideload it with bugjaeger but it doesn't show up on my watch at all.
So I went through the installed packages using bugjaeger and I saw that samsung pay did install but long pressing the button doesn't do anything

When you say that Samsung Pay shows as installed, can you be more exact? Do you mean the package name or an app with that name?
Can you show me a logcat? The person on reddit testing it for me said that it worked for him but I don't know the exact details.

yeah the package name, not an app. Also, I'm the same person over on reddit so it's pointless to have 2 conversations using both reddit and xda, I'll keep you updated on reddit

It's up to OS to decide when and where the shortcut works. This app just pretends to be Samsung Pay and launches Google Wallet when started.
