Practical answers to the questions trail runners ask before trusting a watch on the trail.
- Follow a GPX route on Apple Watch without your iPhone The watch navigates and records on its own, the iPhone only comes in at import. The file’s whole path, from the mail to the wrist, and what to expect out there.
- Setting the off-route alert for trail running Why a watch waits 25 metres before it buzzes, when 15 or 40 is the better setting, and what an alert can and cannot tell you on a trail.
- Offline maps on Apple Watch for trail running The watch has no map once the phone is out of reach. How Ridge puts a topographic map on the wrist before you leave, and why the download belongs to the watch.
