Military navigation on Apple Watch

As there is a massive military community world wide, I would love to see better navigation features and watch faces to suit.

For example compatibility with the iOS app “MilGPS” as that is perfect for military navigation and map reading. Another option could be to have a fitness activity called “navigation” then have the ability to navigate to MGRS 10 figure grid references. In addition, the compass needs MILS bearing as well as degrees, as we in the military use MILS. (0-6400)

The Garmin Fenix has this functionality but I would love to be able to use my Apple Watch Ultra to take care of these duties.

You should let Apple know directly about your wishes for future watchOS features by using the Feedback link, as this is the only way to reach them.

The more users do that, the more likely those wishes will be noticed by Apple Developers and maybe added in an upcoming update.
