Did you know the latest version of #Gadgetbridge now supports CoMaps as an external integration?
If you have a supported smart watch, update GadgetBridge and enable CoMaps in its navigation settings, and enjoy CoMaps' turn-by-turn directions on your wrist!

There's a new fork of GadgetBridge on F-Droid with the same logo and name as the original one. Be careful which one you choose
What's the difference? Are they published by the same developers?

Seems they have changed their app name to Pulse Garmin watch companion (by zoop). It's looking increasingly suspicious to me.
Interesting, I'll keep an eye on it. If we were to give them the benefit of the doubt then changing their name to prevent confusion is a good start
https://gadgetbridge.org/ because I didn't know it existed. Seems a fun project.
I've been using it on some old smartwatches and it's pretty cool how it integrates with stuff like OpenTracks and Breezy Weather.
By any chance does it work with Garmin smart watches?
Nope.
