The map is drawn using vectors, which means that it can be smoothly zoomed, panned or rotated, just like maps on the iPhone. The data comes from OpenStreetMap, which includes paths, tracks, cycle trails and much more.
Maps can be stored on the Watch for use when you don't have your iPhone or cannot get a data signal. And the price includes maps for the whole world. No further purchases or subscriptions are required!
Interval Schedules can be created to assist your workout. For example warm up for 5 minutes, run fast for a mile and recover for a minute 5 times, and then cool down for 5 minutes.
The iPhone app provides detailed analysis of workouts; exporting of workouts; configuration of watch screen layouts; importing of GPX routes; and the ability to control the map areas that are stored offline on your Watch.
Workouts performed using the WorkOutDoors watch app can also be inspected on the iPhone by using Apple's Health and Activity apps.
WorkOutDoors includes many useful map and workout-related features:

- workouts can be directly uploaded to Strava or exported as GPX files for use in other apps and websites;
OTHER FEATURES:
- works even without an iPhone on watches with GPS;
- compass pointing north (which also acts as a button to control rotation);
- "start compass" pointing to your start location (tap it for distance to start);
- GPS signal strength indicator (tap it to see accuracy in metres);

Best GPS app
Bdjsjsjdjjdfbbs
Only used it once but so far much superior to anything else I’ve used. Keep up the good work. Please don’t ever discontinue. Makes the Apple Watch worthy competitor to the top end Garmin Fenix one with the built in maps. Update: have to take off a star for how hard it’s to transfer maps to watch. Requires multiple restarts of both phone and watch and lots of prayers… it always shows watch is active and reachable but until you do multiple restarts the transfer progress always stays at 0.
Amazing hiking companion for Watch
ZenLoven
Supercharges your watch into a one-stop info map and compass tool. Intuitive and customizable, very responsive app. My only wish was 3rd party integrations to acquire GPX routes like maybe from Alltrails. I use a laptop to manually acquire them.
No micro/milliseconds?
Yohankg
This’s by far a great running app, love all the features it displays but it doesn’t show the micro/milliseconds when timing. Any comments on that, Developer? Thanks in advance!
One stop app, I wish I had written it
ErStt
This app is a game changer. It’s not free but worth every penny. 2 things are outstanding: configurable screens for every activity ( w maps! Zoomable maps! That include trails and downloadable for offline use! For every where in the world! And tons of data you can choose to see or not) and import and export of routes you did or you are trying to follow… So choose the defaults or make your own configs and there’s no way you cannot tailor this app for you… Also no account needed you can share your activity w the world only if you want to.
Maps don’t download
@ColoLawyer
Can’t get maps onto the watch. No instructions except to run the app. That’s not helpful if you do un the app and the map won’t download. Waste of $6 to bu this. Should get something else.
Data lover dream come true

The customization ability in remarkable. Get the look, feel, data, alerts, etc. exactly how you want it. I use it fir multiple disciplines.
Best running app!
ChefMommy2
Exactly what I was looking for to track paces across varied distances as a part of my marathon training plan on Apple Watch…no need to go buy a Garmin + all my running friends with a Garmin wish they had an Apple Watch instead because this app is so incredible. It verbally cues start of each interval and tells you if you are in target pace range.
Maps and routes don’t transfer
frokilin
Lately I am having problems when trying to transfer routes and/or maps from the phone to the watch. Even with the app running in my watch as suggested.
