Q: Apple Watch Series 2 Built in GPS

Hi Doug

You may find this third-party app, for example, of interest:

• TrackMyGolf: Golf GPS free scorecard range finder
• https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/trackmygolf-golf-gps-free/id1036006544?mt=8

The developer's description includes: "Natively support Apple Watch series 2's GPS, no need to carry phone during game (must load course before game starts)".

Yes, the GPS of the series 2 Watch is independent of the phone.

GPS is only active when you select a workout that would use GPS. Like walking outdoors but not when swimming laps in an indoor pool.

To see details of the recorded GPS-tracked route you need to display it on your phone
