Our new application accompanies you throughout your trip! Whether you have booked a walking holiday, cycling holiday, motorcycle or car tour, you will find all the practical information on the app to make the most of your vacation. A few weeks before your departure, you will receive a code giving you access to your personalized digital travel guide. Once connected, you will find: - The day to day details of your holiday - Practical directions to get to your daily destination - Points of interest along the way: monuments, history, fauna, flora, good places to eat and drink - The details and coordinates for each accommodation reserved for you - The altimetric profile for each day - The precise GPS tracks for each day Once on the road or the footpath, follow your progress in real time on the map. The app works offline, even without a network (make sure that you download the data before you leave). Wander away from the planned route, and an alert will sound. If in trouble, send your GPS location. And if you see something that's worth a look, add it to your journey and take photos! You will love travelling with the Europe Active app! Important: Continued use of the GPS can significantly reduce battery life, carrying a spare battery whilst travelling is recommended. The use of the application, and the following of GPS tracks, is under the sole responsibility of the user. Always use common sense and make contact with someone when in doubt about where to go.
