The film beside the controls on a big screen, and sending a trip between your devices over your own Wi-Fi.
The same app runs on a Mac and on an iPad, and on either it stops pretending to be a phone: the steps move into a rail down the side, and once the window is wide enough the film sits beside its controls instead of above them. On an 11-inch or larger iPad held upright that happens on the Film step. Turn any iPad on its side, the mini included, and it happens on every step.
That is worth having for the two jobs a phone is worst at. Trimming a clip to the frame you meant is easier when the filmstrip is 900 points wide, as it is on a 13-inch iPad on its side, rather than about 350 on a phone. And reading a week of photographs, deciding which ones are in, is a different task when you can see a day at a time.
Drag the file onto the window, or open it from Finder. There is no export step in between — the zip Garmin Connect gives you goes in as it is.
You can start a tour on your phone on the train home and finish it on a Mac, or the other way around.
Both devices have to be on the same Wi-Fi network, and the trip goes directly between them — it does not go through us, and it does not go through anybody’s server. The first time two devices talk they pair, which you confirm once; after that they recognize each other.
The whole trip travels: the marked border crossings, the summit names and the station names come across with it, so the film is the same film on both. So do the photographs and clips in it. The trip carries its own copies, and your photo library itself stays where it is.
Everything else. The steps are the same steps in the same order, a trip made on one device opens on the other, and the film that comes out is the same film at the same size.
