## What is Great Arrow Navi?

*AppleWatch only.

Great Navigation with distance and direction only with Apple Watch!
Unlike the route navigation application that uses a map, you can navigate to a destination by distance and direction only.

For models with GPS, Applewatch will work independently.

■Recommended you.
- Want to take a walk for free.
- Want to grab the distance to the destination and walk.
- Want to go to places I don't know.
- Want to find shortest distance.
- Can't Read Map...

■Functions
Watch App
- Distance and direction navigation
- Register waypoints

iPhone App
- Register waypoints from the map
- Search the destination and register the waypoint
- Register to the waypoint using latitude and longitude
- Edit waypoint

■How to use
Step1
First register Home and waypoint.
Register your position by watch and register location information from iPhone from map.

Step2
Synchronize with your iPhone in the app's location list, and the watch will synchronize with the location you registered on your iPhone.

Step3
From the list of Watchapp, tap the location and navigate to the destination.
If you start Navi, please walk anyway.
It is a mechanism that confirms the direction of walking by walking and shows the direction to the destination.
(On the Apple Watch Series 5 or later, you can also use the compass.)

Tips
When you come to a place that you are interested in or want to come back to while moving, you can quit navigating and easily register a destination from the destination list screen.

## Key features

- Distance and direction navigation
- Register waypoints
- Waypoint registration from map
- Search destination and register waypoint
- Register waypoint using latitude and longitude
- Edit waypoint

### 4/5 — ウォッチ画面上の優先順位

*2025-01-25, version 2.3.1*

ご連絡ありがとうございました。ウォッチはseries6でOSは最新11.2です。画面が変わってしまうタイミングは、時間ではなく自転車が停まった時、ワークアウトが一時停止した時&再開した時です。前バージョンまでは問題ありませんでした。

### 4/5 — Reviewer

*2024-03-07, version 2.2.1*

Simple is best

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-09-30*

Crashed on an Apple Watch 5.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your purchase.

I'm sorry that the app crashed.

We will investigate the cause from now on, but if you can't use it at all, please apply for a refund.

### 3/5 — 同期により目的地が消える

*2023-06-04, version 2.2.1*

iphone側の目的地が突然消失しWatch側の同期により目的地が全部消失する。これは時々起こる
アプリの機能は単純だがこれで十分と思う。

### 5/5 — シンプルイズベスト

*2023-02-01, version 2.2.1*

無駄な機能が無いので最高！
航空写真から目的地を選択したいです。出来ますか？
次のバージョンアップでは単位をヤードもお願いします。ゴルフでも使ってます！

### 5/5 — Apple Watch7と同期しなくなった

*2022-01-29, version 2.2.1*

レビュー書き直します。
早速対応いただき使えるようになりました。

数ある矢印ナビのアプリを全て入れて調査しましたが、こちらが一番精度が高く感じました。

Apple Watchにも磁石がついたらしいので、そちらで精度を上げてるのでしょうか？

ともかく便利になって満足です。
ありがとうございました

### 1/5 — Won’t sync waypoints

*2022-01-22, version 2.2.1*

Straight away I found fundamental flaws with this app. There’s no way to show your current location and syncing waypoints to the watch doesn’t work so it’s utterly pointless.

### 5/5 — （レビュー更新）Apple Watch7と同期できた！

*2022-01-07, version 2.2.1*

アプリを更新してくださり、無事最新のApple Watchでも利用できるようになりました。ありがとうございます！！

### 1/5 — The arrow points in the wrong direction

*2020-10-11, version 2.1.0*

I feel like I must be missing something obvious here, but I set a waypoint north of my position and the arrow points south and vice versa. On my Apple Watch 6 it seems East/West calculation is ok but North/South is mirrored. I mean it has one job... Otherwise (!) it’s exactly what I’m after. Would be an improvement if the map for setting location showed the users current position.

### 5/5 — Super - five stars

*2020-10-02, version 2.1.0*

Great App : You can save waypoints and the arrow shows the direction and distance to the waypoint. No cards, no iPhone is required.
