The latest update, now published on the App Store so users can download it right away, allows Apple users to track their cycling and get essential information like distance, burned calories, and HR information whenever they start navigation in Magic Earth.
The concept is fantastic and makes everything more convenient for Apple Watch users because they only need to configure a route in Magic Earth also to start tracking the cycling session.
Magic Earth explains that when users start bike navigation, the application launches an Apple Workout session, so when they look at their smartwatches, they can see all workout details. When users arrive at the destination and navigation ends, the workaround is automatically saved on the iPhone in the Apple Fitness app so that you can see all the information on the smartphone.
If you’re addicted to filling your rings, whenever you start navigation, Magic Earth helps complete the exercise and calorie rings, so you’ll just have to stand up for a couple of minutes every hour to make it a perfect day.
Magic Earth keeps refining the experience with the app on all supported devices, and this new release also includes additional polishing for Apple Watch users in addition to the workout feature. The application brings a new design for the weather information displayed for your destination, and you can now see additional information, such as the UV index, humidity, and wind speed.
Magic Earth is a solid option for people who want to give up on Google Maps, and its main selling point is exactly what Google can’t offer to its users. Magic Earth promises that it doesn’t track users and collects their data, so all your information doesn’t leave your device. The application uses OpenStreetMap data and supports multiple navigation modes, including driving, biking, public transportation, and hiking.
It sports the essential feature package, such as turn-by-turn guidance and offline maps, so you can also navigate without an Internet connection in remote areas or regions with a spotty cellular signal. The application offers several map views, including 2D, 3D, and satellite, and runs on CarPlay, with support for the Dashboard mode to run side by side with other apps supporting Apple’s phone mirroring system.
The latest version that includes automatic workout detection is 8.1.4, and if you previously enabled auto-updates on your iPhone, it should already be on your iPhone.
