You can upload unexplored routes via the MySports website on to your watch. Additionally, every time you hit the road your GPS trace is displayed on the GPS Sports Watch allowing you to find your way back to the start. By combining the integrated compass and GPS information anyone can run with the confidence of knowing which path to take and how to get back. Routes are easily shared with friends after a run &#8211; challenging all to explore more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to launch the TomTom Spark 3 and Runner 3 now with Route Exploration, building on our years of experience in mapping and navigation,\u201d said Corinne Vigreux, co-founder and managing director, TomTom Consumer. \u201cRoute Exploration is more than just a way to get back home safer. It inspires runners to get even more out of their training, increase distance confidently and explore exciting, new routes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Route Exploration was added as a key feature based on consumer feedback showing that runners want to explore new routes, but fear they may lose their way. Now, TomTom Spark 3 and Runner 3 GPS Sports Watches enable everyone to easily vary, track and enjoy their training.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full aspect-video\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yaB6eWZout4?feature=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The GPS Sport Watches count your steps 24\/7, while every run, swim, cycle or gym session can be tracked in dedicated sports modes.
