Lack of offline maps are a showstopper for using the new Apple Watch Ultra for multi-day hiking. This post tests the only workaround against Garmin Fenix.

Here's a counterpoint. If I actually want to look at a map, I look at my phone or a paper map. I find squinting at a map on a watch way too small to be useful. The apps I've used on both Garmins and the Apple Watch have a map screen that I basically never use.

It's only a showstopper for using it for multi-day hiking with no other map system.

The watch still has many helpful features outside of being your exclusive postage-stamp-sized map system.
