Top 5 Things You Might Have Missed in the Bonvo.Ski App

After 88 days of writing about the Bonvo.Ski app, I know there are features that even regular users have not discovered yet. The app is packed with details and interactions that are not immediately obvious but make a real difference once you know they exist. Here are five you might have missed.

1. Double-Tap for Ultra Live Heading

You probably know about the My Location feature that shows your position on the 3D map. But did you know that double-tapping the location button activates Ultra Live Heading? This orients the map in real time based on the direction you are facing. It is like having a heads-up display on your ski map — the map rotates as you turn, keeping everything aligned with the real world.

2. Long-Press Slopes for Quick Details

Instead of tapping a slope and opening the full detail panel, try long-pressing on any slope. You get an instant preview with the slope name, difficulty, and length — without leaving the map view. Quick, efficient, and perfect when you are on the chairlift deciding which run to take next.

3. Amenities Have Phone Numbers

When you search for amenities like restaurants or ski schools, the results include phone numbers where available. You can call directly from the app to book a table or check availability. No more searching the web for contact details.

4. Share Drawings as Files

Saved drawings can be shared as files — not just viewed within your group. Export a drawing and send it via any messaging app. The recipient opens it in Bonvo.Ski and sees your annotations on their own 3D map. It is the best way to share route plans with people outside your group.

5. Satellite Map View

Switch to satellite view in the map style settings to see the terrain with real satellite imagery draped over the 3D landscape. It is beautiful, it is detailed, and it helps you spot features like tree lines, cliff bands, and open faces that the standard map style does not show.
