My goal once was to get navigation instructions on my Pebble, while biking. It's unfortunate development of Pebble came to a halt, otherwise I reckon it would have been quite easy to implement on the Pebble's side.

Still, with a DBus-interface it would still be simple to create a QML app which translates the instructions to normal notifications, which of course are shown on Pebble and other smartwatches.
Its a good idea - to make some public dbus api with the current navigation state. That would have to be on Pure Maps side though
