- Smartwatch
The smartwatch support (Fietsknoop[+]Plus) does not take place with a separate WatchApp but simply via notifications that you can receive on your smartwatch.
In the settings app on your phone, belonging to the smartwatch, indicate that the app Fietsknoop is allowed to send you notifications. It is also necessary that your phone is allowed to send notifications to the app Fietsknoop.
iOS users will be asked the first time a route is opened whether Fietsknoop can send notifications. Confirm this and then it works automatically. Android users from Android 13 onwards are asked the same question the first time a route is opened. In older versions of Android, no question is asked.
Close the screen after starting the route.
NOTE: When using an iPhone or iPad, messages only appear on the Smartwatch if the iPhone or iPad screen is closed and locked.
You receive the notifications as soon as you approach a node of a route.
NB: it is important that the app Fietsknoop always has access to your location. And does the phone have a battery-saving option? Specify that the app Fietsknoop may also be used in the background.
- Notification de ferry
While planning your route, a notification about ferries may appear out of the blue.
This happens when your route has a ferry connection. When planning a route this is not always immediately obvious.
With this notification you are alerted even while planning that there is a ferry.
By clicking on the ferry symbol on the map, you can find out what the sailing times are.
