    The Galaxy Watch 4 is one of the best Android watches money can buy. It has amazing build quality, a refined software expirience and impressive exercise tracking features. One of these features is route tracking, where the watch tracks your movement on a trail and presents it visually on a map.

    How to turn on route tracking (record location)

    To get a visual reference of the map and path of a trail when looking at excercise activity, follow the steps below.

    Step 1: Open Samsung health and go to settings

    When the app opens, scroll to the bottom and click on settings.

    Step 4: Click on "Record location"

    Step 5: Accept location permissions when prompted

    Step 6: Turn on GPS location if it's off

    Map data will not be available when viewing exercise history without GPS location. To turn on GPS, pull down the notification bar by swiping down from the top and click on the GPS icon.

    Whenever you manualy start a running or walking workout, the watch will automaticaly track your location and present it on a map. The map will showcase useful information such as pace, laps and path. 

    There is something rewarding, seeing this type of information on a map. It gives you a broader perspective of how far you’ve run or walked. It also encourages you to pursue and explore newer trails.

    Will the watch record your location with automatic tracking?

    Sometimes you may forget to start a workout. Thankfully, the Galaxy Watch 4 will automatically track your run/walk. However, in this mode, location will be recorded without a path; Meaning, you will not see a visual representation of the trail on a map. Only an approximate location will be shown like the picture below.

    • Shows useful information and gives you a visual perspective of your walk/run
    • Great for challenging friends
