Unable to launch navigation intent from Wear 2.0 device

Question

I am currently testing the wear 2.0 capabilities, and decided to go through the new maps implementation.

I tried to launch a quite basic navigation intent from the info window click of a marker, but the app keeps crashing with an unexpectedly weird error.

my code:

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    // Map is ready to be used.
    mMap = googleMap;

    // Set the long click listener as a way to exit the map.
    mMap.setOnMapLongClickListener(this);
    mMap.setOnInfoWindowClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnInfoWindowClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onInfoWindowClick(Marker marker) {
            Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("google.navigation:q=" + marker.getPosition().latitude+","+marker.getPosition().longitude);
            Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
            startActivity(mapIntent);
        }
    });
    // Add a marker in Sydney, Australia and move the camera.
    LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
    mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}

the error i keep getting:

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=google.navigation:q=-34.0,151.0 }

Am i doing something wrong? running on a wear 2.0 android O emulator.

The Wear 2.0 maps system didn't include navigation per se, that's why it crashed. Apparently it's getting added in the upcoming Watch OS.
