All features are available on the FREE version during the first 12 minutes of an activity (trial period). After that, the route will not be shown and the standard screen layouts and data fields will be displayed. Upgrade to PREMIUM to keep the route visible all the time and the customization you applied to the screen layouts and data fields. The upgrade is sold by Apple's App Store and Goolge's Play Store. They handle the payments and collect taxes. Therefore the prices may vary from country to country. After you upgrade, send a new route from the phone to the watch in order to unlock.
.
Route recommendations may be incomplete and/or inaccurate, and may contain sections of private land and/or sections of terrain that could be challenging or hazardous. Always use your best judgement about the safety of the road and trail conditions and follow traffic and property laws.
