## What is TrekRight?

TrekRight: Lycian Way is a comprehensive, incredibly handy mobile app for anyone walking all or part of the Lycian Way, Turkey's beautiful 400+ km / 250+ mi walk along the Turquoise Coast. This rugged, exhilarating walk is filled with stunning scenery, amazing ruins of ancient civilizations, incredibly friendly people, pristine beaches, delicious food, and more.

It includes an in-depth reference 'Trekopedia' (communities, pensions / hotels, attractions, services, points of interest, etc.), supports customizable routes, interactive maps (including detailed offline maps), directions and section-by-section guide, dynamic trip stats for your current section, stage, and route, an intelligent compass that shows the right direction based on your current location and chosen route, and more.

--- Trekopedia ---
TrekRight’s ‘Lycian Way Encyclopedia’ is packed with extensive reference information, organized into Communities, Accommodation, Attractions, Services, Points of Interest, Route Sections, and Articles. Everything can be searched and filtered, viewed on a map, notes can be added (anything from a simple reservation number to a copy-and-pasted blurb from a website), and more. 

--- Interactive Offline Maps ---
TrekRight has detailed *offline* map imagery showing your current location on your selected route along with pins showing all the locations included in the Trekopedia (just touch a pin to open its related Trekopedia entry). Our offline maps mean you don’t require Internet access to use the mapping functionality. Online maps are also available for when you have an Internet connection. Easily filter and do searches. Scroll, zoom, and rotate the map. Completely transform how you ‘see’ your surroundings on the Lycian Way.

--- Intelligent Compass ---
In addition to all the standard compass functionality, TrekRight’s intelligent compass also points you in the right direction based on your current location and your selected route, and updates dynamically as you move. Never get lost again!

--- Pre-Departure Planning & Preparation ---
TrekRight makes it easy to plan your route (including configuring the sections you want to follow), organize it into stages, and review distances and elevations (including a handy interactive Elevation Profile Chart). Comes pre-defined with popular routes (full and partial). Review and rank hotels / pensions, flag locations of interest as ‘favorites’, add your own notes, and more. 

--- Up-To-Date Content ---
TrekRight’s content is regularly updated and expanded based on the latest information available to us. You can check for content updates directly inside TrekRight and download our database whenever it is convenient for you (even on the trail), without having to connect to the App Store. Always be up to date!

--- No Internet Connection Required ---
All of TrekRight's content is stored directly on your phone, including our detailed offline maps. No Internet connection is required unless you want to use the online maps.

### 5/5 — Comprehensive Guide

*2024-03-23*

I did very little prep for this hike and the app was a great utility. This was my single reference point for the entire route. I would suggest a second offline map app (pick your preference, I used Maps.me) for more detail in towns etc. The GPS track was absolutely critical, water and resupply info was also helpful. I enjoyed the elevation map to track daily climbs and total route progress. This all was worth it in my experience.

### 5/5 — Essential piece of kit

*2023-10-10, version 3.70*

You pack your socks, your shoes, your food…but did you pack this app? If you’ve not, do it. It’s a little fiddly at first, but it’s a valuable tool, especially with offline maps!

### 5/5 — Essential app with comprehensive data

*2023-09-11, version 3.70*

Absolutely essential app covering the Lycian way. Comprehensive useful data covering the main and many side routes. Offline mapping allows very good use when on the trail out of signal. The app is very full featured so it’s worth spending some time understanding how it works to get the best from it. We certainly didn’t get the hang of it until we had completed a few legs and made some mistakes that we could have avoided if we had known where to look!
Very grateful to organisers for the support from the app. The trail, weather and terrain are seriously challenging in places, the app made it safer and more enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Necessary

*2023-04-23, version 3.70*

The trail markings are terrible and the app is the only way we were able to find our way.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-10-26, version 3.70*

Initial issues with downloading the offline maps were sorted with an update and was able to use it properly. Recommended.

### 5/5 — Extraordinary depth of info and guidance

*2022-05-29, version 3.70*

We’ve just finished a 6 day version of Lycian Way and couldn’t have done it without this app - the GPS tracking was invaluable with the richly annotated downloadable maps . It allows you to configure your route through a number of options and the level of detail on way markers, accommodation, water points etc is brilliant.   The UX / IA of the app is a bit complex but once you get your head round how it all interlinks you’ll love it

### 5/5 — An essential companion to the Lycian Way

*2022-05-19, version 3.70*

This app is the best £7.99 (or whatever your local currency) you’ll spend in preparation for hiking the Lycian Way. Full of information, and making the best use of everything a smartphone has to augment your experience on the trail.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-04-16, version 3.70*

Not only is the app extremely easy to use, but I had a question and was answered in less than a few hours! Well worth the money!

### 5/5 — Super trekking guide

*2022-04-05, version 3.70*

This is my first time hiking without a map and I have found this app a great intro. There is plenty of detail but you don’t feel over whelmed with writing and the accommodation, shops and transport details are really useful, in fact essential.   The trek is fanatic as well. All in all a great experience.

### 2/5 — Not recommended

*2019-10-29*

Super buggy: map does not show waypoints, even if they are linked from notes. 
When changing the map settings the page “folds” after you go back. It is then not possible to go back to the map without closing and opening the app again. 
The information is organised interesting at best, most of the time it just links to webpages that are not available offline. 
The book also isn’t great so you’d be better off with an up to date GPS track and a proper Hiking app like Gaia GPS or a free offering.

Our thanks to everyone who sent in feedback or helped with testing. We have the best users!

### 3.50 — 2021-06-12

Hey everyone! This release fixes a serious bug affecting iPad users (app would freeze sometimes in the Trekopedia module). We're also including updates to our trail content. As always, our thanks to everyone who sent in feedback and helped with testing. 

Safe travels!

### 3.49 — 2021-05-22

Hey everyone! 

This update fixes an annoying bug that was cutting off text when viewing 'details' screens. There's also been extensive updates throughout our Lycian Way content (especially for descriptions and waypoints of trail sections).

IMPORTANT: 
This update includes a critical change in our database format which requires all 'user data' (routes, added notes, flagged items, etc.) to be cleared. Also, any backups from prior to this version can't be restored. Sorry for the inconvenience on this! We rarely have breaking changes like this but this one couldn't be avoided. 

If you are updating the app then all existing routes in the dataset will appear as 'broken' (you'll see lots of 'gap in route' rows in the route's details). Please re-create your desired route or do a clean re-install of the app (a clean re-install will also restore all of the pre-defined routes for you). If you have any problems setting up your route, let us know and we can assist. 


As always, our thanks to everyone who sent in feedback (a *lot* of you!) and to those who helped with testing.

### 3.48 — 2020-11-12

Hey everyone!

We're in the extermination business this week, killing off bugs. This update nails several of the pesky critters. They can hide, but we'll find them! 

As always, our thanks to everyone who's sent in feedback and helped with testing. Much appreciated!

### 3.46 — 2020-10-21

Hey everyone!

In this release we've fixed an issue with offline map downloads that affected some people. Plus there are content updates to several of our trail datasets. 

As always, our thanks to everyone who sent in feedback and helped us with testing.
