Wish you could rewind a drive like a movie? With ShadowGPS, you can.
The Play Trip feature lets you replay your trips right from the Trip Timeline. Whether you're reviewing a daily commute, investigating an event, or just curious about how a route unfolded—this tool gives you a full, interactive playback of your journey.
Two Ways to Press Play
You can start playback from two spots on the Trip Timeline:
Daily Playback:
Tap the Play icon next to the date, just to the right of the day’s trip summary. This plays back all trips for the day, stitched together in sequence.Trip-Specific Playback:
Prefer to watch one trip at a time?
Click on an individual Driving segment, then hit Play Trip to view only that specific journey.
Either way, you’re instantly taken into playback mode.
What You’ll See in Playback Mode
Playback isn’t just a simple animation. It's packed with tools to help you dive deep:
Play / Pause Controls: Start and stop the replay whenever you want.
Timeline Slider: Drag it to jump to any point in the trip—no fast-forwarding required.
Map Layers: Switch between Road, Satellite, and Hybrid views to see your trip in your preferred map style.
Recenter Button: Tapped somewhere else? Recenter the map back to the current trip playback point with a single click.
Timeline Panel: A scrollable list of key events from the trip (like trip start, stop, alerts) so you know what happened when.
Speed Snapshot: Shows your actual speed at a given point compared to the posted speed limit of the road you're on—perfect for spotting those lead-foot moments.
Why use Play Trip?
Driver behavior analysis: See where speeds spiked or when idling occurred.
Geofence & alert validation: Did the alert trigger where it should have?
Route reviews: Understand travel patterns or identify inefficiencies.
Peace of mind: Just want to confirm a trip happened the way it should have? Now you can watch it back.
Final Word
Think of Play Trip as your vehicle’s DVR.
Whether it’s one trip or a full day of driving, you’re in control. Zoom in, scroll through, replay the moments—and see your journey come to life, one frame at a time.
