Pekka Leppanen | profile | all galleries >> Apps >> Trek M: travel data display, logger & navigator for phones, watches & smart glasses | tree view | thumbnails | slideshow |
Trek M is a travel data display, logger and navigator for trekkers and travelers. It displays basic and enhanced GPS data and optionally logs it and shows condensed navigation directions* on your ActiveLook smart glasses’ heads-up display or iPhone.
The information is in your preferred units for speed, course and altitude. Additionally, the app collects and calculates derivate information such as distance travelled, maximum and average speeds, highest and lowest altitudes and ascent and descent.
The collected data is visible in real time in the watch and smart glasses. The location data can be saved to a GPX trace: you can follow your current position, active trace or stored traces on the map.
The watch app can be also used to remotely connect the phone: start or stop the trace, reset or pause both devices.
Check out the user's guide: User's Guide
Get the app from Apple App Store: search for 'Trek M' or click here Trek M
Trek M continues where GPS M left off. GPS M remains to be available at Apple App Store for the time being, for free.
* Supported languages are English and Finnish. Any other Apple Maps supported language can be added, or the phone can temporarily use English as the primary language. Leave a private comment below if you would like help in adding your preferred language to the app.
Smart Glasses
The phone app supports ActiveLook ( https://www.activelook.net/) smart glasses, such as Engo 2, as a display device.
The smart glasses have two modes: Directions and Data.
• Directions: when a destination is set in the phone app, direction and distance of the next turn is displayed, followed by current speed. If you're off track the bearing to the step end and and the turn needed is displayed.
• Data: displays current travel data (speed, distance travelled, max and average speeds) on the first page and statistics (minimum and maximum, altitude and ascent and descent ) on the next page.
The last page is always empty, showing only remaining battery capacity. If you have selected power save mode, after the set delay the display is turned off and gestures are disabled.
Advance the page by tapping the icon, or swiping your hand in front of the glasses if you have enabled the gestures. Tapping the icon in power save state re-enables gestures (if you have enabled this in the preferences) and displays the first page.
The smart glasses require the iPhone app to be started when using it. When the phone is locked or the app runs on background glasses 'change page' function is disabled.
The directions are only available for iPhones with English or Finnish (!) as primary language. You can easily change phone's primary language to English and back, or add your language's navigation phrases to the app. Leave a (private) comment through the link below if you need help. I'll be happy to add the support for your language to the next releases! See the user's guide for more information and examples.
