## What is Canal Maps?

Canal Maps is an offline-first navigation app for the UK's inland waterways.

Browse detailed maps of major canals and navigable rivers, find points of interest along your route, and keep your bearings — with or without a mobile signal.

Features:
• Detailed maps of UK canals and navigable rings including the Avon Ring, Cheshire Ring, and more
• Points of interest: locks, bridges, pubs, wharves, marinas, services, and visitor moorings
• Photos for canal points of interest
• Search for specific points of interest by name
• Canal traders and fuel boats near your route
• My Places: save your own private points of interest with custom icons
• Your GPS position shown live on the map — all data processed on-device, never transmitted
• Works offline after initial data download

Whether you're planning a narrowboat holiday or already on the water, Canal Maps keeps the information you need close at hand.
