Ski Map This mode locates you directly on the ski map. If you are not in the ski resort, it allows you to pan and zoom within the map.

The detailled map is a pretty heavy data centric feature. We advise you to preload the complete map on a WIFI network or at least on a free data service network. Since you are probably a roamer when you are visiting France, we have designed this feature to save your money while you ‘re skiing.

To start downloading the map, hit the “Start” button located in the info tab. Map pieces are then downloaded directly to your iPhone and will enhance you experience with Ski Guide.

Using the “Live” feature allows you to get the current status of the ski trails and lifts. Nevertheless this feature needs a data connection. You probably want to sync your application on the hotel WIFI before you go if you don’t have roaming data on.

If you are on the ski resort, this button will center the map around your location. This feature is disabled if you’re not in the resort.

Our uniq technology has been registered at the french board INPI.

Directions

This mode helps you find the best way to reach a specific destination. It pretty much works as your car GPS. Choose your starting point (it can be your current location or any specific bookmark) and your target point. Ski Guide will draw the path for you. You can even change the trail level to meet your own ski level.

Ski Guide is your navigation system while you’re skiing !!

Using the ‘Live’ option brings the trails status into the picture. Ski Guide will then find the path looking only at the oppened slopes and skilifts.

Choose the red pin as your starting point then hit the “Start” button located in the callout.

Then, select your destination using the same method and validate with this icon
