Description

TopoNav brings offline-style topographic maps and GPX path guidance to your Pebble smartwatch. It streams live outdoor map tiles from your choice of sources (OpenTopoMap, CyclOSM, OpenStreetMap, MtbMap) from your smartphone companion, rendering detailed contour lines, hiking trails, and rivers in Pebble-native 64 colors. Now with full support for Pebble Round displays!

Whether you are hiking, walking, or exploring new paths, TopoNav keeps you oriented without needing to pull out your phone.

Key Features:

🗺️ Topographic Map Tiles & Sources: Real-time rendering of elevation contours and walking trails with selectable map providers. Toggle Fullscreen Mode to maximize your visible map area. 🥾 On-Watch Route Manager: Swap, start, or deactivate GPX routes directly from a dedicated on-watch menu. 🧭 Navigation View Modes: Choose between a full map view, an Auto-Popup that shows a large turn arrow when approaching a waypoint (< 50m), or a permanent battery-saving Big Arrow mode. 📍 Sensor-Fused Compass Chevron: Real-time direction arrow using the watch's magnetic compass when standing, and switching to GPS-course when walking to filter out wrist-swing jitter. 👣 Live Breadcrumb Trail: Optionally display your real-time traveled route on the map to easily retrace your steps. ⏺️ Activity Recorder: Long-press the Select button on your watch to record your walk. View your completed trips on an interactive map in the settings webview, analyze metrics, and download or copy the standard .gpx file. 📊 Fully Dynamic Dashboard: Customize your view by selecting up to 4 fields from 10 different metrics (Speed, Average Speed, Distance, Elevation Gain/Loss, Duration, Altitude, Watch Battery, Heading, Distance to Destination) alongside live GPS coordinates. The layout intelligently auto-scales to fit your choices perfectly! 🔊 Directional Vibration Alerts: Stay on track with intuitive haptic feedback—distinct vibration patterns tell you whether to turn left or right without even looking at your wrist. You also get 3 rapid pulses if you drift more than 50 meters off-route.

Requirements: Requires a persistent connection to your phone's Pebble app with GPS and Internet access enabled.
