01The island of Newfoundland

Fly-over

Until a video filmed there exists, the reel is a fly-over of the spot.

  1. 01 · The whole island

    Already on the map

    Lighthouses, trails, coves, kitchens, wharves: on the map before anyone posts a thing. People will fill in what each place is like. The map already knows where.

    • The whole island, drawn the way the app draws it.
    • Every place worth the drive already has a pin and a short description.
    • Zoom out and only the big places stay; zoom in and the rest appear.

  2. 02 · Famous places

    Signal Hill, and every place worth the drive

    The landmarks people come to Newfoundland for wear their own pin: a lookout, a lighthouse, a trail. Tap one and it opens at once, with a short description and one button that takes you there.

    • Opens instantly, even on a slow connection.
    • The famous ones wear a ring, so you spot them from far out.
    • One tap hands the place to the maps app on your phone.

  3. 03 · Whales, icebergs, puffins

    Whale watching, as it happens

    Icebergs drift and whales move on, so these pins come from people's reports, not from a list. When someone sees a pod off Witless Bay, it is on the map, ringing until the report is retired.

    • Reported by people, pinned to where they saw it.
    • The ring pings until the report is retired.
    • Icebergs, whales and puffins today; more kinds as people report them.

  4. 04 · Trails and the wild

    Gros Morne, off the grid

    Trails, ponds, falls and lookouts are drawn over real height data, so you can read the land before you walk it. Download a region and the whole map comes with you where there is no signal.

    • Hills shaded from real height data; contour lines in the app.
    • Maps you can download for the road.
    • Every trail, pond and falls with its own small drawing.

  5. 05 · Food and a night out

    Water Street, after dark

    Every kitchen, café and pub is on the map with its name beside it, stamped like a good atlas prints them, never dressed up as a recommendation. And when the evening comes, the map turns dark with it.

    • Kitchens marked with a pot and steam, cafés and pubs alike.
    • Names beside the marks, so a café is never mistaken for a pick.
    • A night map where the water stays the darkest thing on screen.
