West Highland Way

Features West Highland Way

For people walking the West Highland Way, this app provides a mapping for the full path in 2 mile sections.
When launched the app will interrogate the mobile devices location manager and display the section closest to the users current location.
The app does not require network access, so coverage in the remote areas, or data roaming costs do not affect the app.The first screen provides information on how to use the map and a map key for the features that are not standard OS symbols.
Simply tap this screen to view the map closest to the users current location.
From here swipe gestures can be used to navigate North and South along the path.The sections in the app correspond directly to the sections shown on the West Highland Way Page on www.hikeview.co.uk, allowing the user to plan their hike on the web-page and then use map sections that are identical to those used in the planning process.
There are 47 maps in total, each 2 miles long with the odd miles in red, and even miles in purple.Features indicated include point altitude measurements at section ends and map numbers.
