The Headwater Navigation App is easy-to-use and provides our customers with route directions, mapping and day by day guides on the areas you’ll be walking or cycling through, removing all the fuss that comes with carrying a conventional map. Once your booking is confirmed and before your holiday begins, we’ll provide you with a unique code to access the app so all the routes and information can be downloaded to your smart device in advance (Wi-Fi / broadband required for download). There is no need for an internet connection or data usage along the way - the app will track your position along the route via GPS and tell you if you have taken a wrong turn, meaning you’ll never get lost. Not all of Headwater’s holidays are currently on this app.
