Android + Garmin Watch

Your companion for a day at the park

The park, with no downtime.

Live wait times, walking directions to the next ride, and a remote on your wrist. The phone thinks, the watch acts.

The app

The whole park in your pocket

A living map, real-time data and a planner that works out the route for you. Built for several parks — Plopsaland La Panne, Walibi Belgium and Parc Astérix.

Interactive map

Your GPS position clamped to the park, on a detailed open vector map (OpenFreeMap, based on OpenStreetMap).

Live wait times

Real wait times, via ThemeParks.wiki. A Demo mode replays a typical day when the park is closed.

Walking navigation

A route computed on the park's real network of paths, not as the crow flies. At every junction, a diagram shows which way to go.

Optimised route

Your planned rides reordered for the day, with a slider to balance walking time against queue time.

Day plan

Add your favourites, reorder them by drag and drop, and switch on an alert bell ride by ride.

Alerts & notifications

A background check every 15 minutes: you're notified when a favourite's wait drops below your threshold, and when a closed favourite reopens.

Points of interest

Restaurants, snacks, toilets, first aid, lockers and the entrance — filterable by category and by distance around you.

Recap

Your visit log: every ride counted, a shareable memory card, and a backup you can export to a file.

Plan sharing

Send your ride list by link: it opens straight in your friend's app. The list travels inside the link itself — it's not stored anywhere.

Always up to date

The app updates itself, outside any store: a daily background check tells you as soon as a newer version is out. It downloads, verifies the SHA-256 hash, then hands the install over to you to confirm.

The right choice, right away

Rides sorted by distance, the wait in colour, closed ones greyed out. You see at a glance where to go — and the app computes the route the moment you choose.

The watch

Your park on your wrist

On the Forerunner 965, Venu 3 and Fenix 5X, the watch is both your remote and your GPS sensor. It sends your position, the phone recomputes the rides around you and sends them back — name, distance, wait, closed ones greyed out.

Live proximity — up to 15 rides around you Your plan pushed to the watch Directions requested from your wrist Mark a ride without taking out your phone Background link — without draining the phone's GPS
Together

The phone thinks, the watch acts

A lightweight protocol links the two in real time, without ever taking the phone out of your pocket.

The watch pairs up

On launch, it says hello and turns on its GPS. If you ask, the link stays active even with the app closed.

Your position flows

The watch sends your position as you walk; the phone recomputes the nearest rides and pushes them back to your wrist.

You enjoy your day

You choose, you follow the directions, and one tap adds the ride to your recap. By evening, your day is already told.

And the rest of the time

Your day, already told.

Every ride counts towards your recap, summed up in a memory card you can share. Nothing goes to a server: your plan travels in the link, not in the cloud.
