Not many people caught the implications of this during WWDC yesterday:
The new Macs and other software updates got some attention at first, but were quickly drowned out by the noise of the internet going gaga over Apple’s most recent hardware innovation, praising, mocking, and just generally memeing the heck out of it, seemingly in equal measure.
innovations that got somewhat glossed over during the presentation. I didn’t see much chatter about it online, but watchOS 10’s new hiking features seem truly excellent. We’ll have to get our hands on them in order to use them properly, of course, but combined with the power of the, it feels like Apple finally has a Garmin-beating marriage of outdoor-focused hardware and software on its hands.
Most Garmins require topographical maps to be bought and downloaded separately as GPX files – but at least for US users, Apple seem to have them all ready to go absolutely free. It certainly made no mention of third-party downloads or additional purchases. Apple also intimated during the presentation that more countries were to follow.
