## Description

Navigator for Mi Band lets you get Google Maps directions right on your wearable device, including Mi Band 3 through 7, Amazfit Bip, Cor, and Amazfit Band 5. It delivers highly customizable notifications for walking and car navigation directly to your smartband. Note that public transport navigation is not supported, and the app does not display maps on the band but sends text directions.

Compatible with Mi Fit or Notify & Fitness apps, Navigator supports multiple languages such as English, Spanish, Italian, Russian, German, French, Portuguese, Polish, Chinese, and more coming soon. Please note, this app is not associated with Xiaomi or Google Maps brands and has limited compatibility with other third-party apps like Mi Band Tools.

## Review summary

Reviewers frequently cite compatibility issues with various Mi Band models (7, 8, 6, 4, 3) and unreliable operation, including missing arrow indicators and distance data. Notification delivery to the band is often delayed or absent. Several users report the app crashing and poor or slow developer support. A few positive notes mention functionality on Mi Band 6 and Amazfit GTR 4 and the ability to configure how far ahead turns are announced, but overall sentiment is mixed-to-negative, with compatibility and reliability being major concerns.
