Apple Watch outdoor guide
How to show outdoor landmarks on Apple Watch
Keep useful places such as water, toilets, shelters, and medical help visible on your LilyMaps map.
Outdoor Landmarks add simple symbols for useful places directly to your map. They can help you spot water on a long ride, find shelter on a hike, or see medical help nearby.
Choose the categories that fit your day and hide the ones you do not need. Your choices stay saved on the watch.
