Ask the map, go offline for real, and read the ground under every route. • Ask the map: tap the microphone and ask in plain words — "a two-hour ride at Glorieta", "routes up Truchas Peak from the north" — and the answer comes back as lit candidates on the map, with miles, climbing and the time it should take you. Open to everyone, signed in or not. • Offline, for real: a downloaded state map paints first and stays put while you pan, the app says OFFLINE MODE on screen whenever it is on, with a tap to turn it off, and the satellite view no longer claims you need a connection when you have one. The map offers the offline map when service is cutting in and out and you have the area downloaded. • Drawn routes read the ground: a route along a road or across open country gets an elevation profile from the contours already in your state map, with no connection. A climb the app cannot measure prints a dash, never a zero. • Trails read the way they are ridden: profiles start where the arrows start, and public itineraries carry direction arrows along the ribbon. • Contours: one set of lines at every zoom, and on satellite the lines carry a tight halo only where a line is drawn. • Hunt: tap any unit for draw odds and harvest success with no state map downloaded. • Training: COROS and Strava activities carry the watch's own totals into your log; pull down to refresh. • A refreshed App Store listing: what is free, in plain words. No subscription. No trial.
