Tired of running the same route each time? WorkoutMaps helps you find new routes by overlaying all of your previous workouts on the same map. Variable transparency highlights more commonly trodden paths. WorkoutMaps plots all of the routes from HealthKit workouts at the same time on one screen. This includes any Walking, Hiking, Running or Cycling workouts with routes recorded on your Apple Watch. Use the built-in Apple Maps layers, or add your own custom map layer in Settings. NOTE: WorkoutMaps does not record routes itself, it requires an Apple Watch or other source capable of saving HealthKit workouts. WorkoutMaps collects no information about your workouts from you. The data never leaves your device.
