The latest update to the Wikiloc application makes it a fully functional and compatible application with the Apple Watch. The new version 3.7.1 adds support for the Apple watch and with this we will be able to take favorite outdoor routes, create our own or even discover new ones.
For those who do not know this application, we will briefly explain what it is for. It is an app that allows us to discover routes around the world easily and quickly, also with various levels suitable for both beginners and more expert users. Choosing between hiking, running, cycling, MTB, kayaking, skiing and up to 75 different types of activities is simple and easy with Wikiloc, a highly recommended app.
The Apple Watch is the protagonist in the latest version
To date, iOS users had an advantage to use this app, although it is true that they have a website that can be accessed from any device, the Apple Watch was left out and now with this new version it becomes compatible with the 100%. We can see free offline topographic maps from around the world to use without coverage or data and this is important for those of us who practice sports in places where we can run out of coverage.
We also have the option to buy the premium version for iOS with which we are going to transform the device into a GPS navigator. The device will guide us with a heading indicator and sound alerts to warn us if you move away from the route during navigation and this is now also done from the clock. Wikiloc Premium is available with a quarterly or annual subscription and it adds many advantages over the free version, but one of the best is that we help maintain the Wikiloc infrastructure and protect the earth, since 1% of our purchase goes directly to for the Planet, a global network of companies, organizations non-profit organizations and people who work together to take care of our planet.
