Northing builds your verified summit record from GPS activities and uses that history to plan walks through the hills you still have left to record. RECORD YOUR SUMMITS Connect Strava or import GPX and FIT activity files. Northing checks GPS coordinates against summit positions using a fixed 200-metre horizontal tolerance and records matching summit visits in your private ledger. Track progress across nine lists in Britain and Ireland: Munros, Wainwrights, Corbetts, Grahams, Nuttalls, Welsh 3000s, Trail 100, Ethels and Marilyns. PLAN FROM YOUR SUMMIT RECORD Northing Premium uses your verified history to identify Wainwrights and Munros still missing from your record. Plan walks around those hills or select particular summits, with distance and ascent limits. Generated walks return to their starting car park and may include loops, shared approaches or retraced paths. Export the planned walk as GPX for your preferred navigation app or device. You can also save routes and download their maps before leaving signal for offline use in Northing. Review route information and conditions before deciding where to walk.
