Strava has begun rolling out route navigation to its Apple Watch app, bringing the feature to watchOS users for the first time, MacRumors reports.
The innovation, currently in beta, allows runners, cyclists and hikers to use routes directly from the watch, without having to use an iPhone.
Users can select saved routes, view elevation gain data, and follow navigation prompts right during their workout. According to Reddit users, the feature started rolling out over the weekend, indicating a gradual rollout.
Strava previously added the ability to share workouts with Apple Fitness+, but it's the turn-by-turn navigation for outdoor activities that could be the key update. Currently, beta access is likely open to both paid and free users, but Strava has yet to say whether the feature will remain free after the official launch.
