How to get walking directions on AI glasses
With navigation on your AI glasses, you can get audio turn-by-turn walking directions to help you navigate to nearby places.
To use navigation on your glasses:
- Say "Hey Meta, navigate me to [nearby location]" and hear turn-by-turn directions that will guide you to your destination.
- If you do not have a location in mind, you can first search for a place by saying things like "Hey Meta, find restaurants near me."
- While navigating, you can follow along with a companion map in the Meta AI app.
- To stop navigating, just say "Hey Meta, end navigation."
- For further destinations, you can get a push notification with driving directions sent to your phone.

How navigation works on your glasses
When you enable location services for the Meta AI mobile app on your mobile device, it uses your phone's location to enhance your experience and make features like navigation work.
- Location permissions for the Meta AI mobile app must be set to Always on/Allow all the time and Precise in your phone's device settings in order to use navigation.
- Location data from navigation is used for product improvements and fixes, and this data isn't associated with your Meta account.
- Your location may be shared with select partners to provide navigation services.
- You can manage location permissions anytime in your phone's settings.
The data provided for navigation comes from Overture and OpenStreetMap, which are the world's largest sources of open map data.
