Millions of people use the mobile app to explore paths worldwide.

📂 A WIDE CHOICE OF ROUTES

Find routes all over the United-Kingdom, matching your own needs for free - whether it’s a hike in the mountains or a stroll in the countryside, along the coast, into the woods or even in the city-even abroad. From a family walk to a strenuous hike, for a ramble on your doorstep or your next holidays, find what suits you best ! Walk or cycle, choose your own activity depending your location, the level and the duration you wish.

Each route sheet includes an OpenStreetmap map, a GPX, a step-by-step description, length, elevation gain, maximal and minimum altitudes, elevation chart, points of interests, level, weather forecast, and depending on user’s contribution photos and reviews.

Find more than 26 000 curated routes available world-wide (more than 3 500 of which in English).

🗺️ LOCATE YOURSELF ON THE MAP AND LET BE GUIDED, EVEN OFFLINE

When you found the right itinerary, download it offline before leaving, then press the button start to follow the route. The GPS app will guide you even off the grid. You will be able to see your live location and your real time progress on the map. If you go off-track, an alert will warn you.

While moving, the actual route is recorded so afterwards you can share it, analyse it, compare it with the one plotted or simply walk it again later.

Great start to using this app but it would be even better with a voice given basic directions, i.e. when to turn left or right. It'd save having to keep looking at the app. I like the data it gives you, especially how far you've walked and time elapsed. Looking forward to using the app again as it is one of several in my hiking 'arsenal'. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk too.

Probable bug since it does not stop a walk when it has started recording it. I have tried everything: to stop, to pause, to start a new track.. nothing worked out. This consumes battery and memory as well. Also, 'around me' does not work. To find a track, the search function does not work. I thus uses Google, then download track , then open it with Visorando. Not really straight forward.. It could be improved...

I live in France and I can only download the UK version! Which means the app never finds any walk around my location. My father has the French version and he can choose among tons of walks. Also, the menu on his version has many options to define the search (as in the picture on the app store) and I have only one, ie the type of activity. I tried downloading several times and also changing settings on my profile on the website. Help would be appreciated!

Hi Honey Babou, I am happy to let you know the English version developed a lot lately! Normal settings to search a walk will be in English only so please change it settings: manage menu>settings>search in all languages>yes. Now when you search you will have a list of walks in English, German and French. We translate them all ourselves that's why.😊

- Elevation source during the walk: You can now choose between GPS elevations or the elevations of the Digital Elevation Model
