Offline map
Context
While Live.τ focuses on real-time tracking, users could get into "dead zones", where cellular data is unavailable. e.g. mountains, deep forest. In these scenarios, the smartphone's large display provides an advantage over small wearable screens for route finding and terrain analysis.
Problem Statement
Users lose spatial awareness when data connection drops, as standard map tiles fail to load. While the watch continues to track GPS, viewing complex topography on wearable could be difficult.
Proposed Solution
Implement an ability to download Offline Map that functions without an internet connection, using the smartphone as a high-resolution map plot for the watch's GPS data.
Completed
update: available in testflight 1.0.14 + scheduled in new release
