Pedestrian navigation is planned for the displayless Meta Glasses but wasn't there on day one. It arrives via firmware update later in 2026.
The displayless Meta Glasses will give walking directions, just not on day one. Meta says pedestrian navigation is coming soon, with turn-by-turn directions arriving by firmware update later. The turns are spoken, not drawn, since there is no screen to draw them on. It is an obvious thing to want from glasses you already talk to, and Meta has committed to it. Just not at launch.
