When hiking or mountain climbing, it’s very easy to get lost. Especially when an area is bigger then what you calculated.
Fortunately, the Apple Watch Ultra has s feature called Backtrack that keeps track of where a user has been.
Here’s how to use it:
- Open the Compass app on your Apple Watch.
- Tap the footprints icon in the bottom-right of the screen, then tap Start to begin recording your route.
- If necessary, scroll down and tap Allow Once to allow Compass to access your Recent Locations.
- When you’re ready to retrace your steps, tap the pause icon in the bottom-right of the screen, then tap Retrace Steps.
- Your starting location will appear on the compass, and a bouncing white arrow will point you in the right direction. The path back to the starting point will appear within the compass circle as a white line. Follow the path back to return to where you first turned on Backtrack.
- When you’ve arrived at your starting location, tap the footsteps icon again, then tap Delete Steps.
- That’s it.
This could save your life one day. I’m glad Apple decided to add it.
