Yep, agreed. The “a-ha” moment for me was seeing the app lay down a breadcrumb trail behind me as I walked from my house to the beach down the road. So good.I've been using WorkOutDoors for years. It's a gem of an app. Developer is on the ball.
By comparison, I've tried my Ultra's waypoints and backtrack features several times, but they're just too abstract.
When you're in an unknown park, nothing beats a live, relatable, moving map of your "breadcrumb trail" whenever you glance at your wrist. It's always just there. You don't have to press anything to see exactly where you are, and where you're been.
