Hi @Sluggers The missing Google maps standalone functionality (as of September) hasn't been acknowledged by Google, but one would hope they fix this ASAP.
Google did say it was coming this year, but who knows when.

Online discussion currently recommends using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.somyac.watch.gpsnavigation
I've not tried it so can't offer any feedback on it.

As for your battery life issues, have to you set wifi, data etc to auto mode?
The other thing you could try is to reset the watch and try setting it up again.

You could also send an error report via the Galaxy Wearable app.

Hopefully Google pulls their finger out and get it sorted.
