WorkOutDoors

a super-smooth vector map that can be shown during a workout;

multiple configurable screens with metrics and graphs from a pool of 800+ data fields;

route files can be imported and used for navigation (including turn by turn directions);

dozens of configurable alerts (e.g. every mile; high heart rate; low pace; off-route etc);

interval schedules can be created using the larger screen of the phone app;

climbs and descents are supported with notifications and on-screen data and graphs;

waypoints can be created, navigated to, and exported;

use shortcuts to associate operations with gestures (e.g. double tap to hear configurable metrics);

compare pace against a target or a previous workout (using metrics and a dot on the map);

show zones for pace and power as well as heart rate (with optional coloured backgrounds);

auto-pause is available for all outdoor activities;

shows GPS and heart rate before starting a workout, so that you can wait for good signals;

configure distance and pace for running / walking to come from Apple’s pedometer or from GPS;

workouts can be exported in FIT / TCX / GPX files, or automatically sent to Strava;

workouts created by the app can be analysed in great depth in the iPhone app.

maps can be smoothly panned and zoomed, and can rotate according to the compass;

a breadcrumb trail of your whole route is displayed on the map during the workout;

topographic data can be shown, with configurable contour colours and hill shading;

map-only mode is provided for when you don't want to start a workout and just need a map;

a circular scale is shown when you zoom, making it easy to see the distance to features;

maps can be stored on the watch for use when offline (they are downloaded as required if online);

a red compass points north and a green compass points to the start;

choose a waypoint to see a compass and distance to it in the corner of the map;

you can also navigate to waypoints on the map, such as hospitals, sights, cafes etc.

your position is shown on an elevation profile of the route;

the remaining distance, time and ascent can also be displayed;

you can get alerted when you go off-route;

when off-route then a compass is shown which points to the nearest part of the route;

if the route contains turn by turn directions then these can be used like a sat nav;

if there are no directions then the app can use “bend detection” to generate them;

the next direction is shown as an icon and distance in the corner of the map;

the map can automatically zoom in when you are approaching a turn;

you can use shake gestures to hear the distance to the next turn or the end of the route;

routes are coloured by gradient: from red for steep uphill to blue for steep downhill;

you can configure what information is displayed during a climb or descent.
