Once you have located the walk in the app, you can buy the walk from there which includes everything listed here.
The app will direct you to the start of the walk via satnav (including Google Maps, Apple Maps and Waze).
The app guides you around the walk using GPS, removing any worries about getting lost.
The walk route is described with detailed, regularly-updated, hand-written directions.
Each time there is a new direction to follow, the app will beep to remind you, and will warn you if you go off-route.
A map shows the route, where you are at all times and even which way you are facing.
Each walk is packed with information about the history and nature along the route, from over a decade of research than spans more than 3,000 topics.
Once a walk is downloaded, the app doesn't need a phone or wifi signal during the walk - it will work fine entirely offline.
The app counts down distance to the next direction and estimates time remaining based on your personal walking speed. It also keeps an eye on phone battery and daylight.
We continually keep the directions updated for changes to the paths/landmarks - the price of the walk includes free updates so if you do a walk again it will still be accurate.
