Tips from the duoveo team
Save your phone's battery
Here are a few tips to minimize your battery usage during your adventures:
- use airplane mode as soon as you start your adventure
- reduce your screen’s luminosity
- bring an external battery in case you need to recharge
Take your pictures and videos with your favorite app, upload them afterwards
The magic of the duoveo app is that you can upload your media (pictures, videos and audio files) in your adventure afterwards. Just take your pictures or videos like you are used to and upload them once your hike is done. Thanks to the GPS data stored in your media, our app will be able to automatically place them.
However, note that only pictures, videos and audio files taken on your phone will include GPS data. Media taken on someone else’s phone and shared via text or WhatsApp will NOT include the GPS data.
