Feature videos

A short motion-graphics video. Every app screen in it is a screen recording of the TrailBivvy beta app on its bundled trail data (built from OpenStreetMap), with a simulated position and time; the clock in the status bar is fixed by the simulator and does not match the app’s simulated time. The edit shortens pauses where nothing moves, speeds up some motion, zooms in on parts of the screen and uses transitions between shots; no app content is added or changed, and titles, captions and transitions stay beside or behind the phone. There is no music and no voice-over.

The Map tab shows the swisstopo map with “No connection — using offline data” under the stage card (AAL 1, simulated position; the simulator itself stayed online, it is the app’s Offline mode). The map is dragged to the west along day 2 towards the Ammertepass and Lenk, an area the app had not shown before in this session: along the route it is drawn from the downloaded tiles; further from the route the map looks softer (enlarged from less detailed tiles stored on the iPhone).

A short motion-graphics video. Every app screen in it is a screen recording of the TrailBivvy beta app on its bundled trail data (built from OpenStreetMap), with a simulated position and time; the clock in the status bar is fixed by the simulator and does not match the app’s simulated time. No app content is added or changed, and titles, captions and callouts stay beside or behind the phone. There is no music and no voice-over.

1. 0:00“Navigate, with off-route alerts” “Progress to the end of the stage, and a warning when you leave the trail” The TrailBivvy app icon and the title of the video.
2. 0:02Navigate — “One tap to start navigating” “Walked, left, climb and arrival” “Arrival after sunset is flagged” Screen recording: the Map tab on the Via Alpina, stage VA 14 Kandersteg – Adelboden, with the swisstopo map around the “Demo position” (simulated, 4 km from Kandersteg) and the stage panel at the top: 4 km walked, 12 km to the stage end, climb left 954 m up and 1,130 m down, stage end 23:56 “After sunset”, altitude 1,527 m, GPS ±6 m. “Navigate” is tapped: the button goes and the panel adds “Navigating”. The position is fixed, so the figures do not change during the recording.
3. 0:07Trip — “How far, how long, and before dark?” “Share of the whole route walked” “Time left, arrival, sunset, last light” Screen recording: the Trip tab: Current hike, Via Alpina (Switzerland), “Navigating”, GPS ±6 m, “72% of the route walked”, 278 km of 387 km, the current stage VA 14 Kandersteg – Adelboden, then to the end of VA 14: distance left 12 km, walking time 6 hrs 55 min, arrival 23:56, altitude 1,527 m, ascent left 954 m, descent left 1,130 m, sunset 20:42, last light 21:15, “Arrival after sunset”, “Estimates use your walking pace and exclude breaks.”, the buttons “Stop navigation” and “Show on map”.
4. 0:11Position set 150 m off the trail — “Off the trail? The app tells you” “Recorded with the position placed 150 m off the trail on purpose” “How far you are from the route” “Your position beside the route line” “On the Trip tab too, while navigating” Screen recording, a separate launch with the simulated position deliberately placed 150 m off the Via Alpina (VA 14, 4.3 km from Kandersteg), navigation started and the map zoomed in before the recording: the stage panel is outlined in orange and reads “Off route · 150 m away”, with 4.3 km walked, 11.7 km to the stage end, climb left, stage end 23:48 “After sunset”, “Navigating”; on the swisstopo map the “Demo position” dot sits beside the route line. The altitude shown (1,561 m) is the app's value for the nearest point of the route; the position has no altitude of its own. Then the Trip tab of the same launch: Via Alpina (Switzerland), “Navigating” and “Off route · 150 m from the path”, GPS ±6 m, 72% of the route walked, the current stage VA 14, the figures to the end of VA 14 (11.7 km, 6 hrs 45 min, arrival 23:48, sunset 20:42, last light 21:15, “Arrival after sunset”), “Stop navigation”.

4. 0:13Your position — “Where you are, ready to read out” “Decimal, degrees-minutes-seconds, Swiss LV95” “Labelled as simulated in this recording” Screen recording (the first recording again, continued): the sheet scrolls past “112 is the emergency number here and in most of Europe. It is free and can often use another network when yours has no coverage.” and “Compiled from public sources, last checked 28 Sep 2026. If you are unsure, call 112.” to “Your position”: the red warning “Demo location is on. This is not your real position.

The phone moves closer on the coordinates.
5. 0:18Nearest help — “The nearest help, from data on your iPhone” “Village, road, hut, shelter, bus, water, doctor” “Straight-line distance and direction” “Battery-saving GPS and tips” Screen recording (the second recording, continued after the position block was brought up off camera): the position's accuracy, “Time of fix 17:02, just now” and the buttons “Share demo position” and “Copy demo position” (not tapped), then a scroll to “Nearest help”, from the pack data on the phone: Village Waldhaus 1.7 km SE 128°; Road access · Bus Kandersteg, Kasernement Bären 1.2 km E 80°; Hut · Mountain hut Alpwirtschaft Rychenbärgli 920 m N 5°; Shelter Schutzhütte Gryden 21.3 km W 254°; Public transport · Bus Kandersteg, Kasernement Bären 1.2 km E 80°; Water 380 m E 70°; Medical help · Doctor Praxis Kandersteg 3.4 km NE 40°; “Straight-line distance and direction from your position, not a walking route. The path may be longer or blocked.” Then the end of the sheet: GPS and battery with the Battery-saving GPS switch (off) and its explanation, and the tips “Save battery, be found” (airplane mode, keep the phone warm, dim the screen, read out the coordinates when you call, the Alpine distress signal).

A short motion-graphics video. Every app screen in it is a screen recording of the TrailBivvy beta app on its bundled trail data (built from OpenStreetMap), with a simulated position. The time is real: the forecast is a real MET Norway forecast, recorded on 1 Oct 2026 between about 2.15 and 3 a.m. (Swiss time), and the status bar shows the time of the recording. It is not a current forecast. No app content is added or changed, and titles, captions and callouts stay beside or behind the phone. There is no music and no voice-over.

How it was edited

• Pauses where nothing moves are shortened; frames are never reordered.
• Some motion is sped up, at most 1.6×.
