Siri, Shortcuts & Automations

Can my Apple Watch start a Speedometer trip automatically?

If you ride or run with an Apple Watch, you can chain Workout sessions to Speedometer trips so both record together. In the Shortcuts app on your iPhone: Automation → + → Apple Watch Workout → "Is Started" → choose workout types (Cycling, Running, etc.) → add Speedometer's "Start Trip" action. Create the inverse for Workout "Is Ended" → "Stop Trip". This pairs the Watch's heart-rate, calorie, and elevation tracking with Speedometer's GPS speed, distance, and route recording — so you get a complete picture of every ride and run. "Start Trip" is preferred here (each workout = a fresh, separate trip).
