Walks to your mobile
Walkingworld app
The Walkingworld app for Android and iOS brings all the instructions, waymark pictures and maps for a walk to your mobile phone, allowing you to follow the route easily. With the phone's GPS turned on you can see your exact position on the map and how you are progressing to the next waymark.
The walk information and mapping is stored on the device for offline use, so you don't need to worry about mobile phone signal once you are out on your walk.
The Walkingworld app is free to use even if you are not a Walkingworld subscriber. As a non-subscriber you can download the instructions and pictures for a walk and follow it on a simple map. Any free sample walks and walks you have bought individually will be shown on 'proper' OS Landranger and Explorer maps. You can save one walk at a time and it will be kept on your device for 7 days.
The app really comes into its own for subscribers. The mapping for the walk is OS Landranger and Explorer mapping, with the ability to zoom in tightly to see all the detail if you need to. You can also save as many walks as you like and they are stored on your device for 30 days.
To find the app search on Google Play on on the Apple App Store for 'Walkingworld' (all one word).
