Public Service Announcement for Apple Watch and iPhone Owners
RUSH: I'd be remiss if I didn't do this. I have to do a public service announcement here for you Apple Watch and iPhone owners. Whatever you do, they have messed up, they have... jeez. The maps app on the watch, if you use it, it had a glance on it, and all it did was show you to work, to home, and any appointment you have set up.
It's changed. To make a long story short, if you start playing around with the new navigation capabilities of the glance on the maps app on the Apple Watch and you click on "directions home" or "directions to work" it's gonna turn on navigation on your phone and you won't even know it and your battery's gonna start churning like crazy. I just discovered it. So make sure it does what you want it to do before you start -- they totally changed.
See, if I had my new website up and running, which should have been last December, I would have a section in it for tech updates with screenshots and everything. I'm still looking forward to getting that done at some point. But that way I could just direct you to the website for that. I guess I could still do it in this case, but not today 'cause I'm too swamped.
