Android Wear?

[ukwalker]

Hi,

How well, if at all, does AlpineQuest work on Android Wear devices?

I don't have an Android Wear device to play with but I'd be interested in getting one if I could use AlpineQuest so I'm curious what I could expect to work.

Anyone got any experiences they could share?

Hi and sorry for the delay.
Right now the application is not particularly targeting smart watches (this is a planned feature), but I know some people are using it.
For example, here is a tutorial I came across.
Best regards

I borrowed a smartwatch (Ticwatch E £116 Amazon UK) and tried out Viewranger's Wear capabilities. Not sure what I think about it's usefulness yet but I came to the conclusion that if you wanted to give AlpineQuest a toe hold in this market all that's needed is to display the currently selected map from the phone, on the watch, centred on the users current GPS location and allow zoom in/zoom out.

There's other things you could do but simply to be able to glance at the phone and see your current location on the map would be a great start.

Thanks for a great app.
