Kayaking the Otaki river is a pretty good way to spend Christmas eve, right?

On the 26th, we're walking into Otaki forks for an even longer trip.

Definitely! That's a pretty cool visualisation too!

I checked the reviews and it has pretty mixed reviews. Eg hard to customise, buggy etc. What are your thoughts? It looks pretty cool to use on eg hikes.

[–] thevoyagekayaking@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty pleased with it, the app is very easy to use, and takes very little time. You start recording a trip, take a few photos along the way, then finish recording, pick the best photos, and create a video. The lack of customisation is a feature more than anything.

What bugs were they talking about?

[–] sylverstream@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thanks will give it a try! Bugs were that it would only record a straight line for the trip or that the entire trip was lost when they didn't have reception during the trip.

[–] thevoyagekayaking@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cell reception, or GPS reception? Obviously it won't work without GPS reception, it works just fine with no cell signal.

[–] sylverstream@lemmy.nz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Without cell reception. People said they lost entire trips that way.

If you save a trip with no data, it's still there, but not sure where they usually show up, you need to go to the "your profile" section.

I suspect that's what happened to them.
