In advance of Summer 2020, Somewear Labs is excited to announce the addition of three new product features including, Smart Routing, waypoint creation, and public tracking. Smart Routing—a unique, data conserving feature—allows the Somewear mobile app to automatically choose the most efficient network (cellular/wifi/satellite) for data usage. Users that want to save points of interest or share a remote camping spot will value Somewear’s new capability to create, name and send waypoints within the mobile map. Lastly, Somewear’s new public tracking allows friends and family to follow a Somewear adventure without the need to establish a Somewear account. Public tracking also allows Somewear users the option to upload their progress to a public forum like a blog. Now fans, not just friends and family, can track a thru-hike or ocean crossing.
