Active Trip Mode · Step 05

On the trail with
full situational awareness

Start an expedition and enter Active Trip mode — a dedicated on-trail companion with live stage tracking, expedition map, running statistics, and safety protocols. Optimized for use in low-connectivity mountain environments.

Your expedition companion
from first step to last

Active Trip mode is activated when you start an expedition. The interface shifts to an on-trail dark theme and every feature focuses on situational awareness rather than planning. All expedition data is available offline after first load.

Day progress tracking
Today's stage with full metrics, stage-completion flow, and a timeline showing completed vs. remaining stages across the expedition.
Offline expedition map
Your route displayed on a Mapbox map with offline tile caching. Completed stages are highlighted in green. Current position is shown when GPS is available.
Safety protocols & end-trip
Emergency contact management, altitude protocols, GPS recording controls, and the End Trip button — all consolidated in the Safety tab.

Tab 1 — Today

Today's objectives and stage progress

The Today tab is the first thing you see each morning. It shows the current stage hero card, key metrics, nearby points of interest, and next-stage preview.

01
Stage hero card
Day number, stage name, route string (Origin → Destination), day type, distance, elevation change, and estimated duration. Tap for expanded detail.
02
Mark day complete
A prominent call-to-action marks the current stage as complete and advances the expedition to the next day. Triggers the execution log for noting actuals vs. plan.
03
Nearby POIs
Points of interest near your current stage endpoint — campsites, water sources, and shelter options — prefetched from OpenStreetMap on route load.
04
Next stage preview
A condensed card below the hero shows tomorrow's stage at a glance: name, distance, and the key challenge (long climb, descent, altitude gain).

Tab 2 — Map

Full-screen expedition map

The Map tab shows your complete route on a Mapbox terrain map, with completed stages highlighted and current position displayed when GPS is active.

Point A
Route visualization
The full expedition route is rendered on the map using the stored ORS polylines. Each stage segment is colour-coded by completion status.
Point B
Offline tile cache
Map tiles for your route corridor are downloaded and cached before departure. The map works fully offline in areas with no data coverage.
Point C
Stage markers
Each waypoint is marked with a stage indicator showing the stage number and completion status. Tap any marker to see stage details.
Point D
Amend route
If your actual path diverges from the planned route, the Amend Route tool lets you update the stored geometry for the current or remaining stages.

Tab 3 — Stats

Running totals across the expedition

The Stats tab accumulates actual performance data as you mark stages complete — giving you a real picture of how your expedition is progressing against the original plan.

01
Distance covered
Total distance covered based on completed stages. Shown alongside the planned total so you can track percentage of expedition completed.
02
Elevation accumulated
Cumulative elevation gain and loss across completed stages. Helps you track how much of the total ascent and descent you have left.
03
Days elapsed
Current day of the expedition with projected end date based on remaining stages. Flags any schedule slippage if stages took more or fewer days than planned.
04
Execution log
A timestamped log of each stage completion, with the option to note actual start/end times, route deviations, and conditions. Useful for post-trip review.

Tab 4 — Safety

Safety protocols and emergency readiness

The Safety tab consolidates everything you need if something goes wrong: emergency contacts, altitude protocols, GPS recording, and the End Trip control.

Point A
Emergency contacts
Store emergency contact numbers that are accessible from the Safety tab even without data coverage (contacts are stored on-device).
Point B
Altitude protocols
For expeditions above 3,500m, the altitude protocol panel shows acclimatization guidelines and symptoms to watch for at each altitude band.
Point C
GPS recording
Optionally record your GPS track during active stages. The track is saved locally and can be exported as a GPX breadcrumb trail for post-trip review.
Point D
End Trip
The End Trip control completes the expedition, writes a final execution summary, and returns you to the Planner. The trip is archived with its full execution log.
