A little planning. A better hike.
When phone signal fades
Save your route before setting off, and check which navigation features work offline.
A change in the weather
Choose a screen you can read outdoors and controls you can use comfortably when the weather changes.
Longer than planned
An extra viewpoint or an unexpected detour can stretch the day. Leave enough battery for the walk back.
A few knocks along the way
Rocks, gravel and the occasional drop make a well-fitting protective case a useful part of your trail kit.
Keep your trail kit simple
Best for: Local trails, day hikes and weekend walks.
Why it works: Add a GPS watch for activity tracking and a protective case for your phone. Use the phone you already know for maps and photos.
More time between charges
Best for: Full-day hikes with fewer chances to recharge.
Why it works: Use your phone for detailed maps and your watch for quick activity checks. Compare battery life with GPS in use and allow for the full route, including the return.
From trail to campsite
Best for: Weekend hikes with a campsite to return to.
Why it works: Keep your trail essentials light, then add the gear you want back at camp. A projector phone or portable speaker can be an optional extra for the evening.
A few checks for a smoother hike
-
Before you set off
Save your route and maps, check the forecast and charge your devices. Test the navigation features you plan to use offline.
-
On the trail
Keep key information easy to reach and your phone secure. Stop somewhere safe before checking directions or changing settings.
-
If plans change
Recheck the route, daylight and battery. Adjust your plan early, leaving enough time and power for the return.
For the hours after the hike
Back at camp, use V Max Play’s built-in projector to share photos from the day or settle in for a movie after dark.
