A way back to the car.

Open Walk back during a walk at a stop. See where the car is, how long the return might take and when daylight draws to a close.

The direction points straight toward your car. Choose a safe path on the ground as you make your way back.

Distance and direction
Your parking spot stays the reference point while you explore a lookout, waterfall, summit or trailhead.
Estimated time back
A return estimate uses your walked path and pace, so you can leave room for the rest of the day.
Daylight at a glance
Civil dusk gives you another detail to consider before walking further.

Keep the walk with the drive.

Turn on Remember walks at stopsin Travel Memory. Your Drive Log can keep the walk's time, distance, climb and parking spot alongside the day on the road. The exact walked path stays on your phone.

Apple Health is a separate choice. You can remember walks without it. Choose to add available Health details, or save an individual walk to Apple Health when you want to.
