Measure Distance and Share GPS Location

[Prescottopia]

I have the Galaxy 46mm watch.

I would like to do both of the following....

Measure distance in feet. For example, mark a start or home point and have the watch track and report my distance from that point in feet.

Be able to record and share my GPS coordinates easily.

Any apps oone might recommended to achieve either or both of these goals?

Thanks in advance...

I can both record and share my location by the send SMS function in my Galaxy Watch:

* Open a contact, either to my own mobile (to get a record) or to someone else to share my location.

* Choose Text and tap on the 3 dots.

* Select My location (or similar).

This will create and send a text message with a "Here" link. The link contains the GPS coordinates in readable form, and clicking the link brings up a map (and possibly address).

Another way to store (pictures) of the GPS coordinates is to take screenshots on the watch when using (any) GPS location app on the watch. The screenshot is stored in the watch Gallery (and can be sent to mobile). (I use the app "GPS Reading" which gives also the altitude (selectable in feet or meters.)

Note: Using the SMS method you should be able to extract the coordinates in text form and calculate the distance your self. (I haven't checked what resolution you get.)
