Galaxy Watch
I recently upgraded my watch from Galaxy 5 Pro to Galaxy Ultra with my Samsung S23 Ultra.

In upgrading the watch, I thought it would resolve one issue in particular - auto start Google Navigation.

The watch has the latest software ( UI version 6.0, Software version L705LSQU1AYCD)

I found some information related to this which seems applicable to older watches and versions of Google Maps:

enable the "Auto-launch" or "Mirroring" feature within the Google Maps app on your watch

There is no such feature on my watch

Another suggestion was to wipe the cache partion of the watch after software upgrade.

However instructions I found for getting the watch to enter Recovery Mode to perform this must have been written for older watches.

Looking for some help.

TIA

I have the watch 7, not the Ultra, but the settings should be the same.  Open Google Maps on the watch.  Scroll all the way down the screen to "settings".  Open the settings.  The first item should be "mirroring". 

 

Open "mirroring" and select the activities you want mirrored.  To clear the watch cache, follow the directions in the image.
