DiscoverTrail - Hiking Maps and Walking Trails DiscoverTrail is a hiking and navigation app that helps both casual walkers and experienced hikers plan safe routes quickly and easily. It offers highly detailed offline topographic maps, precise GPS navigation, and vital information about hiking and walking trails without the need for an internet connection or creating an account. Can I use the app without internet in the mountains? Yes! We know that mobile network coverage frequently drops out in the mountains and remote moorlands. DiscoverTrail allows you to download highly detailed offline maps for any region. Use precise GPS navigation completely offline, so you always know your exact location, even deep in the forest or high up on an isolated summit. What details does route planning offer? Planning a route is fast and easy. The app gives you all the vital data before you start your outdoor adventure: • Distance, estimated time, and elevation profile (ascent/descent). • Walking time is calculated personally based on your own hiking pace. • Data on the path's surface and steepness. Can I find water sources or accommodation near me? Discovering new places on foot is safer with the app, which shows on its highly detailed maps: • Drinking water sources to stay hydrated along the way. • Mountain bothies, campsites, and hiking shelters. • Panoramic viewpoints, country pubs, and local shops near your location. Why is DiscoverTrail ideal for long hikes? • Battery-friendly: The app is focused on maps and does not run background location tracking, which significantly saves your phone's battery. • Absolute privacy: No account or registration is required to use the app. • OSM database: The data is based on the global OpenStreetMap (OSM) database, which contains hundreds of thousands of miles of waymarked trails. Which regions and walking trails can I explore? Explore national parks, mountain ranges, lochs, and peaks across the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the world: • UK & Ireland destinations: The Lake District, the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, Snowdonia, the Brecon Beacons, the Scottish Highlands, and the Wicklow Mountains. • Popular peaks and routes: Ben Nevis, Snowdon, Scafell Pike, the West Highland Way, and the Ring of Kerry. • International adventures: The Swiss Alps, the French Pyrenees, the Italian Dolomites, the Spanish Camino de Santiago, and trekking holidays anywhere on the globe.
