The Explore Section

You can quickly go to the Explore section by tapping the second to right icon on the bottom menu.

Here, we'll walk you through everything you can do within the Explore Section of the WOO Sports App. Including:

Explore

Start by opening up Explore and view the spots in your area. You can browse a wider area, pinch-zoom out on the map and check out clusters of spots from anywhere in the world. You can search spots by clicking the magnifying glass in the top-right corner. Or you can tap any spot-icon in the map to open up the spot information which will give you loads of insights into the amazing kite spots planet earth has to offer.

Current Location

Hovering in the top-right part of the Map are two little buttons to tap on. The upper one of them will get your current location and center the map around. You can use it to quickly go to your location and explore spots near you.

Make sure to have location service enabled for the WOO App in order for this feature to work

Live View

On Explore, there is two main views to choose from. The default one will show you a map of all the kite spots out there as blue pins. To get to the second view, the live view, tap on the radar button, aka the beacon.

Live view will show you spots in either white, if no one is riding there, or blue, if at least one person is riding there. There is a number indicating the amount of riders live and tapping on this pin will bring up a window from which you can navigate to the "Explore More" section with more information on the live situation of the spot.

Here you can see which riders are live, what gear they're on and, if people have their WOO with them and connected to the internet via their phone, see live jumps rolling in.

Search Spots

Once you've tapped the magnifying glass in the top-right corner of the Explore screen, you can search for a name of a spot. Select one of the spots to go back to the Explore map with the focus on the Spot you just selected.
