I have used the OsmAnd Pebble Integration by just filtering normal notifications in GadgetBridge. Watch buzzes with a new message whenever Osmand would have done some voice output. That worked well enough for walking around in areas with street name signs and when I had at least an rough idea of my route it even worked fine for biking. Normal OsmAnd notifications on the Bangle are completely useless as they are updated much too often (a notification every few meters).

I think their pebble integration still works, that basically sends their voice output as pebble intents, so I guess that could still be used:
https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/blob/2d3fe242aed291233ccda9bcf091230dc0ccf11e/OsmAnd/src/net/osmand/plus/voice/JsTtsCommandPlayer.java#L36
That kind of works but only shows the route changes, what I did was make an small app with the OSMAnd api that converts the route updates to intents to be sent to the watch, so I can display the distance to the next turn + the one after that on the watch and buzz when the turn is imminent. This works quite ok for walking and biking, only seems to loose connection to OSM when you stand still for a while so you need to restart the app.
