Your guide and map in an App. Whether you are going, or just thinking of going, on a trek to Everest Base Camp World Adventure Guides has designed a fully interactive digital map and guide, with all the information you need. NEW EXCEPTIONAL GPS MAPPINGThis brand new digital map of the Khumbu region of Everest, created by renowned map makers Harvey Maps, works seamlessly, allowing you to zoom in from a scale of 1:100,000 (which will show your location in relation to all the peaks) to a finely detailed 1:5,000 (which will show you the lodges when youre in a village). The map has been built from GPS source data (weve walked every step) and gives you the marked route from start to finish, accurate contour detail, a host of features, points of interest, altitude and more.The app includes a detailed, day-by-day, suggested trekking itinerary, superb photographs, advice on equipment, acclimatisation and health, plus additional sections on Kathmandu, culture, customs, wildlife, language, health, & more. The is the first app in the Trek the World series, put together by a team of professional trek leaders who know the Everest region intimately, and have been leading treks all over the world for many years. With our brand new offline Everest Base Camp trekking map included, the app will work anywhere, regardless of phone signal or internet connection, and find your location in seconds. Watch your location on the map and record your progress as you undertake the adventure of a lifetime on this historic and breathtaking trek. If progress recording is switched on, the app will also record your progress when it is in the background or when your iPhone's screen is locked.(Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.)ITINERARY AND RECORD KEEPINGfully mapped day-by-day itinerary, accounting for safe ascent rates and acclimatisationdetailed day-by-day guidance notesday-by-day timings and graphic route profiles personal record keeping function: your progress tracked on the map as you gostatistics: altitude gained/lost; distance travelled; time takenTHE GUIDENot just a map!
