You can also tap the map to view your location.Start your walk, bicycle, or car trip. Google reiterates that,"You can start navigation on your watch without your phone nearby if your watch is LTE-enabled or connected to the internet via Wi-Fi." Google also notes that watch-based navigation is also supported when the timepiece is paired with iOS devices with one exception. If you have enabled mirroring and start navigation on your phone and then leave your phone behind, your watch will take over navigation from your phone.
