# OsmAnd Pebble Companion

OsmAnd Pebble Companion is a bridge application that connects the [OsmAnd](https://osmand.net/) navigation app on Android with Pebble smartwatches. It allows users to view essential navigation information and trip statistics directly on their wrist, reducing the need to check their phone while cycling, hiking, or driving.

## Features

- **Real-time Navigation**: View turn-by-turn instructions, distance to the next maneuver, and directional arrows.
- **Trip Statistics**: Monitor current speed, remaining distance to destination, and estimated time of arrival (ETA).
- **GPX Recording Control**: Start, stop, and pause GPX track recording directly from the watch. View live recording duration and distance.
- **Heart Rate Integration**: For Pebble models with heart rate sensors, the app can send heart rate data back to OsmAnd to be recorded with your track.
- **Reliable Background Operation**: Runs as an Android foreground service to maintain a stable connection between OsmAnd and your Pebble watch even when the phone screen is off.
