@here for Android Wear –Map Location Notification

Here is a great map location notification for your smart watch, an app that will tell where you are by popping up a notification with the address including the street and a preview of the map.

@here app for Android Wear, It’s a great app especially for those who are just new in a city or town, it’s a great way to know your location, all you need to do is just “OK, Google, start @here", and the notification will appear.

Great for travelers as well as for people who are planning to meet up, tell your friends where you are not by guessing your location or telling a landmark that you don’t know of, tell them your exact address by using the @here app right in your Android Wear device. The only drawback about the app is that it pop up notification of other places that you don’t need to, anyways I’m pretty sure the developer already is adding the feature to choose the notification that you want to, for the next update.
