Question:

How do the Train Guide watch complications work?

Answer:

Train Guide supports all complications.

The Treingis watch complication can basically do two things, it can function as a shortcut to open the Treingids app from watch face or it can display information (departure time, platform etc.) about you're default journey (only if you are a subscriber). Each type of complication has its own way of displaying information, some complications give more information than the others. Also keep in mind that depending on the type of complications, it may not be compatible with certain watch faces and Apple watch models. For example the complications Graphic Corner / Circular / Bezel / Rectangular are only available on the Apple watch 4th generation (model 2018)

Good to know:
Platform numbers are indicated as: 9b, P9b or Platform 9b.

Journey notifications are indicated as: !, !! or 💬

The Train Guide complications only show default journey information in the following situation: you are subscribed to Train Guide,

Question:

Why should I give Train Guide permission to my location?

Answer:

Train Guide offers you two features that depend on you're location. The first feature shows you stations nearby, for this to work you can set the location setting for Train Guide to 'only while using'. The second feature ensures that when you have selected a journey (journey detail view) the Train Guide app remains active in the background. With a longer journey this is desirable so that the app does not shut down and your journey details get lost (by default watch apps are limited in how long they can stay active).

If you have WatchOS 5 or newer on your watch, you can also easily recognize whether an app is using your location in the background via the white dot with a navigation arrow in it at the top of your watch face.
