This app works similarly to Maps r.485. It shows the distance and direction to waypoints. When you reach a point, it advances automatically to the next one. You can also choose the next waypoint manually, via the menu. 

Once you have set up a route, you don't need internet and your watch doesn't need to be connected to your phone. It does not show the map (as Maps r.485 does), so you will save battery on both your devices (phone and watch), since there'll be less Bluetooth transfers. 

This app is mainly intended for driving, and some more driving-related features may be added in the future. It does not record or track activities. If you'd like to use an navigation app that can record activities, try the Route Planner:
