A clever “wilderness detector”. Making the criteria no Wi-Fi = wilderness!!
“ net’. “We built a wilderness detector, if you will. We look at Wi-Fi signals, because when there’s no Wi-Fi today it’s likely to be wilderness. We also look at your past usage to see if it’s a place you’ve been before. We even remember when you went from driving to walking, as that’s probably where you want to get back to. So the watch automatically starts recording the trace for you. We can do that with very minimal battery impact.” ”
In an article in STUFF in some of the sensors in the Apple Watch Ultra intended for some active endeavors. I like the trend, have a safety feature (backtrack) get enabled automatically on a device that’s always with you, your watch. I used to stick mine in my pack, given I leave nothing of value in a trailhead car, but have changed to leaving a Watch in for easier monitoring of hydration intervals.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a way to directly link it outside AppleNews.
