You're at the trailhead.
Navigate your own way.

No bars out here. No plan but the one in your head. Good. Scroll, and walk a day of it with us.

Mile 0 · The trailhead sign

You glance at the screen. No signal. You smile, and keep walking.

Scout

You turn it on at the trailhead. No login, no pairing. Just the map.

A creek cuts across the path, loud with snowmelt.

Mile 4 · The exposed ridge

The sun's straight in your eyes, and the map only gets clearer.

Scout

You hold it up against the glare. No backlight to lose; the brighter it gets, the better it reads.

Mile 6 · The far overlook

Your phone died an hour ago. You pull out Scout, and the map's still right there.

Scout

Out of battery, the last map and your coordinates just stay on the glass. E-paper holds the picture with no power at all.

Light's going. Two ways down off the ridge.

Day 3 · Still out here

Three days in, and you haven't thought about charging anything.

Scout

Day three, still going. The screen costs nothing to sit there, and the GPS only naps and checks in.

Map-on, active use: 8 h/day

About 15 days on a charge

Dusk · The trees close in

It's dark now. You turn around and follow your own footprints home.

Scout

The dotted line behind you is your own track. Turn around and walk it back.

Back at the car · Boots off

Your whole day is just a file on a card. Yours to keep, open anywhere.

Scout

Pop the card into any computer and there's your day: a GPX track you can open, keep, or share.

End of the trail

Made by one person, in a garage in Ohio.

Scout isn't a brand. It's the thing Verne got tired of not having, and built for the kind of day you just had. Now it's almost yours.

Pre-launch on Indiegogo, summer 2026 · early-bird around $149.
