But quick question: for backcountry treks and river runs, what’s your most reliable stack for offline route planning and client safety — think GPX creation, satellite comms, and digital waivers in one flow? I’m running Gaia GPS for GPX, Garmin inReach for check-ins, and Smartwaiver tied to TravelJoy, but I want a smoother workflow that auto-prompts medical info and emergency contacts 72 hours pre-departure and logs guide briefings before we roll.
I’d keep Gaia + inReach but route GPX through Garmin Explore so routes and preset check-ins auto-sync to your device and trip groups (https://explore.garmin.com). For the “one flow,” trigger a Typeform from TravelJoy via Zapier that collects medical/emergency info, then on submit creates the Smartwaiver record and pushes the PDF back to the booking — more conveyor belt than Rube Goldberg. Do you prefer a per-departure waiver or a season-long one?
One tweak that smoothed it for us: keep Gaia + inReach, but collect waivers/med info with the Jotform Mobile app in offline mode at the trailhead, then Zapier pushes it into TravelJoy and pins emergency contacts into the trip notes when you’re back in service (Jotform Mobile Forms | Robust forms that work anywhere)… Caveat: you have to open the app and refresh forms before you leave town so the offline cache is current. Would offline capture at the trailhead cover your “auto-prompt” need?
