Apple Watch Ultra Offline Maps

Question

Apple Watch Ultra Offline Maps

I understand the whole marketing campaign for the watch was to target adventurers. I’m an avid backpacker, and pre-ordered the watch to replace my Garmin, only to find out that Apple Maps can’t be used offline. This seems like a huge oversight on Apple’s part. I understand that I can use theirs party apps to make this happen but my intention was to not have to use anything else.

I emailed Tim Cook after purchasing the watch when it came out, and got no reply. Is there any official communication from Apple on the matter?

What about “is there any communication from apple regarding the matter” that you find confusing? Do you think I’m waiting for apple to reply here? Language barrier problem maybe?

Yeah, once again, unless you have access to the aggregate of communications that everyone has, just don’t speak for everyone else. Thanks.

As this is a user to user only forum, we have no inside knowledge of anything is working on. All anyone here can guide you to is to check out 3rd party apps, which may meet your needs. You might want to check out one called workoutdoors, which I believe comes with a cost of $5.99. Honestly, there's no reason to forgo third party apps if they provide features you need, want and will use.

If you read my post, you’re aware that I know about third party apps. It seems odd that you’d say that no one knows as to speak for the community. I’ve purchased WorkOutDoors, and Footpath.

If you don’t know Apple’s position on the matter, that’s fine. I’ll simply wait for someone who may know.

This is a user to user only forum. No one from Apple is here, nor will anyone from Apple respond to you here. You can wait as long as you want, but no one here knows Apple's position on this at all.

I did see you were aware of 3rd party apps. You didn't however, refer to any you may already have. And we're not mind readers.

Since there isn't any communication from Apple on this and there hasn't been any, no one could point you to such communication.

But, it's been fun chatting with you. I'll leave you to wait for the answer you're looking for. I wouldn't hold my breath though. As again, we aren't Apple and we don't know what they're working on for future releases for Apple Watch Ultra users.

No problem. As I said, I'll leave you to your waiting.
