Ultra vs Trail Tracking

This application has been designed for ultra-runners who want to use their AppleWatch during their ultra-trail workout. The application includes a specialized cartography and a simple interface which allows you to concentrate on your run. IMPORTANT: To support very long runs, the workout is recorded by the iPhone.

Thus it is not possible to use the AppleWatch without the iPhone.
