★ Important remarks ★
•  Widgets close automatically after some time ← THIS CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
•  Routes can be calculated in the free version, but the map image is only available in the PRO version.
•  Before you upgrade: map images take a few seconds to load (they must be downloaded and sent by the phone). You must have GPS fix and Internet connection to see them!!!
•  The map image does not cover all the screen on round and semi-round watches, because that would require too much memory. The free version provides an example.
•  Routes can only be calculated to locations saved on the widget (via the widget menu, after a GPS fix) or to addresses sent from the mobile app. Download the app on your phone!!! (see links below)
•  You can follow a route offline (you don't even need your phone with you), but you must be online to calculate a new route and to see map images (PRO)
•  There's a limit on the distance to calculate the routes. Even within this limit, a long and complex route can cause the app to crash.
•  The last known location (e.g. from your last activity) is used while the watch searches for a GPS signal. This may not match your actual position.
•  The trace on the "route screen" does not follow the roads exactly. The lines just connect the points where you have to turn. It is more precise on the map image (PRO).
•  After you upgrade the companion app, send an address from the phone to the watch in order to unlock.
•  CIQ2+ devices: you can use the locations saved on "My Places" and "Waypoints and Routes" as input! Download them now:
