Strava's finally given Apple Watch users a WorkOutdoors-style feature they've been missing in the Workout app for years

The STrava app on a smartwatch display.
  • Strava has released a new feature for Apple Watch, allowing you to view and follow a pre-generated route map
  • This allows you to view a map on your wrist and follow a route, ensuring you run a precise distance and don't get lost
  • This is a feature other apps like AllTrails, and other watches like Garmin, have had for years

As Techradar's Senior Fitness & Wearables Editor, I test smartwatches of all kinds. However, in my day-to-day, I'm generally a Garmin-wearer. There's a couple of reasons for this, but a big one is that I'm a regular runner, and Garmin has one of the most comprehensive suites of running features out of all the different wearables categories. Notably, many of the best Garmin watches allow you to generate routes in the Garmin Connect app, sync them to your watch and follow a full-color map on your wrist.
