The canal maps display thousands of continually updated points of interest (such as pubs, shops, vets, diesel, moorings, etc), as well as all the waterway information such as locks, bridges, turning points, etc. These are the essential towpath companions for boaters, ramblers, cyclists or anyone else enjoying the waterways. An essential feature of the Apps is that they are off-line, so theres no interruption due to the poor Internet connection on the canals! * Location-based, they can display your current GPS coordinates, heading and speed * Comprehensive road and footpath network provided by OpenStreetMaps * Move around the map easily, zooming in/out to see more/less detail * Handy distance measurer* Filter on thousands of regularly updated points of interest to display: - places to eat and drink - shops, laundrettes and libraries - doctors, vets and dentists - towpaths, footpaths and moorings - diesel, gas and pump-outs - internet access points, bus stops, train stations - museums, cinemas and attractions .... and much, much more *Track and record your journey with the Trip Tracker function.* Create Log Book entriesWE VALUE YOUR FEEDBACKPlease let us have your feedback and suggestions - use the in-app Feedback functionality to provide POI detail or location changes, map issues or report problems/suggestions for the app itself!
