Projecting a waypoint with Apple Watch app

Is there an Apple Watch app for projecting a waypoint (offset position by distance and bearing) like some Garmin watches?

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

How to share Watch Ultra waypoints (& tracks)? The Compass app is useful for capturing waypoints and tracks but is there a way of easily getting them onto my phone? There appears to be zero integration between the iPhone compass app and the Watch one. It would be very useful to be able to share waypoints on the Watch with others, within the Apple ecosystem at least; preferably beyond too. E.g. Being able to Include a waypoint in Messages would be very valuable. It would also be great to easily get waypoints (& tracks) out to, for example, Google Earth. The only workaround I've found so far is to capture a screenshot of the waypoint on the Watch & then use the text recognition on the phone Photos app to cut & paste the coordinates into Apple Maps, or elsewhere. Otherwise it's a case of error-prone transcription character by character. Thanks

Idea for Distance Tracker continuous update Can Apple design the Apple Watch fitness tracker to allow for distance adjustment after the workout is complete. When my treadmill says I have travelled 2 miles but my Apple Watch only tracks 1.55 miles, it is a little disheartening. If the software allowed for distance adjustment, the App could better “learn” my specific running style and give me more accurate recordings. I’m not sure what would go into making this update happen, but it would make me appreciate the fitness tracker for stationary machines a whole lot more. All that said, I really do enjoy using the app.

Does the AppleWatch 8 allow you to create a Impromptu Run and Return - like the Garmin Fenix does? Does the AppleWatch 8 allow you to create an Impromptu Run and Return as the Garmin Fenix does? By just entering a distance and a start direction. - If the watch doesn't is there an app that could do this on the AppStore? Tha you all for your time and feedback.

Ok least you had a go. The others didn’t even have a Apple Watch ⌚️ app. So it no use at all?
