Kakao has launched a dedicated app so that Kakao Map, a map app service, can be used on the Galaxy Watch. You can check road guidance or public transportation arrival information through a smart watch without taking out a smartphone.
Kakao announced on the 2nd that it will officially launch Kakao Map service for WearOS. WearOS is a platform for wearable devices created by Google. It is installed in Galaxy Watch in Korea. Kakao has produced Kakao Map in consideration of domestic users who use Galaxy Watch for Wear OS.
You can check the arrival information of buses or subways through Kakao Map on the Galaxy Watch. If you add buses and subways that users frequently use to the Galaxy Watch, you can check arrival information in real time. You can check bus and subway station information around you based on location information without separately setting it.
It also has an alarm function for getting on and off. When the Galaxy Watch and Kakao Map are linked, it informs you when you get on or off through vibration. A Kakao official said, "I can easily check my location on a crowded bus or subway. He said, "There will be fewer days to pass by the station to get off because of dozing off."
The 'bicycle navigation' function is also key. You can get navigation guidance only with the Galaxy Watch without installing a smartphone on the bicycle stand. For safe bicycle driving, vibrate your wrist when guiding the way. Kakao said, "As the use of wearable devices in Korea has expanded, we have opened a wear OS service in consideration of user convenience. "Kakao Map for Wear OS provides functions that help users in their daily lives," he explained.
