Here App not working

[Primetimeplaya]

I can open the app on my GS and it finds me. The question is how do I get it to the screen where I can enter a destination?

It should give you your current location with a blue arrow below it. Tap the arrow and the key board will pop up with 'where to' above it

Did you get this to work? I just tried for the fun of it but all I got was "this action is not supported" in reply.

Ahh I got it working. I tried saying "navigate to home" like i would with S Voice/Google Now on my S5 and got the error message. When I said an actual location it worked fine

You guys should try D.M.A.Navi watch works great using google maps.only problem is you have to use it as a watch face with weather.

Because that's all it provides, though there's rumors that a "car mode" update will finally provide driving directions.

Thanks. I guess I didn't read up on it enough. When I see 'Navigation', I automatically think 'car' and sometimes walking directions come along with that.

Well I'm thinking they are basing the facts people use their phone when navigating in the car. But it still should be had just be on there in the first place. I know one thing Here was awesome Saturday when I took a motorcycle ride. Didn't have to fumble with my phone seeing where I was in the country. Was able to map where I wanted to go and enjoy the ride. Was great.

I'm fine with walking direction as long as it works without the need to have phone nearby. As of right now, it doesn't work (for walking directions) when you are not connected to the phone via BT. Also, when you are connected via BT, the watch uses the GPS in the phone, rather than watch to save battery. So, there is really no way to test how is your watch's GPS working.

Yeah they to fix that. Defeats the purpose of GPS in the watch

Anyone figured out how to search for places on the Here app on your phone, then send it to your watch?
I tried following the directions provided in the link below on the Samsung website, but #14 where it says to Send To Gear does not appear on the app.
