AWU: Waypoints via the Action Button

[G.McGilli]

So, first day with AWU and I must have dropped about 40 waypoints as I apparently cannot push in the crown without also pushing in the action button lol...

[Yes I'll adapt - and would like to use this feature so do want to test it out properly tomorrow]

So, I read this but I'm not entirely sure if all of these waypoints are permanently saved around my house and all of the places I was at today...

Drop a Compass Waypoint with the Action button​

Use the Compass app on Apple Watch Ultra

The Compass app shows the direction your Apple Watch Ultra is facing, your current location, and elevation.

And if so - how to easily go and remove them all?

You can delete them. If you go to the compass screen, select the three lines upper left. Then scroll down to see all waypoints. Swipe left on the ones you don’t want and then tap the “x” to delete.

There may be a mass delete, but I’m not sure what it is. Should go pretty quick without though.

Thanks - appreciate it. I was able to find that and realized that even though I'd been activating the waypoints - becasue I wasn't giving them a name they weren't saving

All sorted, thanks!

I would like to see an implementation where you can create & auto-save waypoints (without having to name them)…that way they are recorded and you can go back later to review/rename, etc. I ride motorcycles in the mountains and like to save “good roads” I find so I can revisit them later…..I also like to save waypoints when I see a piece of real estate I want to research. Waypoints can be very handy/functional w/o necessarily using them for hiking etc.
