Survival Kit is your all‑in‑one outdoor and off‑grid companion. Plan and record trails, view offline maps, monitor live sensors, store an emergency card, and communicate with simple Morse signals when voice or data isn’t available. With language‑aware UI and powerful device tools—including LiDAR Motion Alarm and LiDAR Night Vision—you stay aware, prepared, and focused. Track your GPS position even in flight or during a cruise, and leverage many other useful sensors and tools for real‑world readiness. Key Features • Offline Maps: Download regions for reliable navigation without a network. Pan, zoom, and plan routes anywhere. • Trail Tracking: Start, pause, resume, and stop trails with distance, elevation, and pace at a glance. • Emergency Card: Store medical info and emergency contacts for quick access in critical moments. • Offline Notes: Capture notes and waypoints without connectivity and review them anytime. • Live Sensors: Monitor altitude, motion, battery, torch, audio levels, and more for situational awareness. • Morse Signaling: Broadcast Morse code via light or sound, and decode received Morse to text for simple off‑grid communication. • GPS in Flight/Cruise: View your GPS position even in flight or during a cruise to stay oriented when data services are limited. • Language Support: Interface and content adapt to your selected language with dynamic translation updates. • Capability Awareness: See which features are supported in your current environment. LiDAR Tools • LiDAR Motion Alarm: Use the device’s depth sensor to detect movement in a defined zone. Receive audible/visual alerts—useful for camp perimeters, gear monitoring, or basic intrusion awareness in low‑light conditions. • LiDAR Night Vision: Enhance visibility in darkness using depth‑assisted rendering. Visualize shapes and distances with a high‑contrast depth view to navigate or scan surroundings when ambient light is limited. How It Works 1. Set Language: Choose your preferred language; the UI updates automatically. 2. Prepare Offline Maps: Download map regions before you head out for full offline access. 3. Create Emergency Card: Add medical conditions, allergies, medications, and contacts. 4. Track Trails: Record distance and elevation; pause/stop anytime and review history later. 5. Monitor Sensors: Check altitude, motion, torch, audio levels, battery, and more. 6. Morse Broadcast & Decode: Send light/sound Morse messages and decode received Morse into text. 7. Use LiDAR Features: Activate Motion Alarm to monitor a zone; switch to Night Vision to visualize depth in low light. Safety Tips • Download maps in advance. • Keep your emergency card updated. • Monitor battery and carry a power source for longer trips. • Use Morse and LiDAR features responsibly and within local regulations. • Respect airline and maritime rules when using GPS or other device features in flight or at sea.
