Wandelroutes
Democratizing the Waymarked Trail.
From Trail Running Frustration to Product Solution. The concept was born on the trail. We identified a gap: users following waymarked routes (walking or trail running) were forced to constantly check their phones or pay premium subscriptions for what is essentially public data. We built Wandelroutes to fix the flow.
Brand & Strategy. We crafted the "Enthusiastic Motivator" identity. The UX is designed as a "Pocket Backup": it parses public waymarked data into a clean interface, removing the paywalls and account requirements common in competitors.
The Ecosystem. The core friction—having to stop running to check a map—was solved by extending the ecosystem to WearOS. We built a standalone watch app that acts as a silent guide, allowing users to stay immersed in the environment while receiving haptic cues.
The Build. Using Flutter, we engineered a robust offline engine. The app creates a friction-free bridge between the physical world and digital data, allowing users to find a starting point instantly.
