Description

TrekRight: Cotswold Way is a comprehensive, incredibly handy mobile app for anyone walking all or part of England's Cotswold Way long-distance trail or exploring the beautiful region surrounding it.

It includes an in-depth reference 'Trekopedia' (communities, B&Bs / hotels, attractions, services, points of interest, etc.), supports customizable routes, interactive maps (including detailed offline maps), directions and section-by-section guide, dynamic trip stats for your current section, stage, and route, an intelligent compass that shows the right direction based on your current location and chosen route, and more.

# The Right Information, When You Need it
Location-aware information – TrekRight provides you with information tailored to your current location. If you are approaching a community, TrekRight will tell you how far you still have to go, what points of interest are available around you, where you can find a pub, and so on. Real-time information that keeps you completely on top of things!

# Trekopedia
TrekRight’s ‘Cotswold Way Encyclopedia’ is packed with extensive interactive reference information. Everything can be searched and filtered, viewed on a map, notes can be added (anything from a simple reservation number to a copy-and-pasted blurb from a website), and more. Handy information (literally) at your fingertips!

# Interactive Map / Offline Maps
Powerful, flexible maps built on top of our high-quality mapping engine, with full support for detailed offline map imagery. Displays your current location on your selected route along with pins showing all the locations included in the Trekopedia (just touch a pin to open its related Trekopedia entry). Our offline maps mean you don’t require Internet access to use the mapping functionality. Online maps are also available for when you have an Internet connection. Easily filter and do searches. Completely transform how you ‘see’ your surroundings on the trail.

# Intelligent Compass
In addition to all the standard compass functionality, TrekRight’s intelligent compass also points you in the right direction based on your current location and your selected route, and updates dynamically as you move. Two special compass indicators are available – one points towards the end point of your current section (typically the next town on the route), and the other points which way you should go now, taking into consideration all the twists and turns in your route. Never get lost again!

# Pre-Departure Planning & Preparation
TrekRight makes it easy to plan your route (including configuring the sections you want to follow), organize it into stages, and review distances and elevations (including a handy interactive Elevation Profile Chart). Comes pre-defined with popular routes (full and partial). Review and rank hotels / B&Bs, flag locations of interest as ‘favourites’, add your own notes, and more. Be prepared!

# Up-To-Date Content
TrekRight’s content is regularly being updated and expanded based on the latest information available to us. You can check for content updates directly inside TrekRight and download our database whenever it is convenient for you (even on the trail), without having to connect to the App Store. Always be up to date!

--- Spotlight Integration ---
TrekRight's content is fully indexed by iOS's amazing Spotlight search feature. Without even needing to open TrekRight, just call up Spotlight (swipe downwards from near the top of your phone's Home screen), enter what you are interested in, and if Spotlight finds it in TrekRight you simply press on a link to open that item. This works even if TrekRight isn't running and it works entirely offline! (iPhone 5 or later and iOS 9 or later needed for this feature).

--- No Internet Connection Required ---
All of TrekRight's content is stored directly on your phone, including our detailed offline maps (once downloaded). No Internet connection is required unless you want to use the online maps.

What’s New

Version 3.70

Hey everyone! Managing your route in TrekRight just got much easier, with lots of great enhancements to make it easier to make changes, to see what your options are, and more, including:
- You can edit your route on the map now.
- You can tap on any 'branch point' icon to see what route variants are available from that junction.
- You can tap on any white arrowhead along your route to see how far it is to that location in your current stage. The arrowheads also indicate which direction you are walking at that location.
- It's now much easier to modify your stage breaks. Just drag them up/down on the route details screen.
- The appearance of the route details screen is more appealing and more informative.
- Tap on any branch in the route details screen or on any branch point on the map screen to see a pop-up showing lots of details about that branch, what other branches are available at that location, plus there are options for viewing its elevation chart, viewing it on the map, opening its details screen in the Trekopedia, inserting new branches, or deleting the branch from your route.
- When editing your route, you can now shake your phone to undo changes you've made.
- And more! There's lots of little details for you to discover.

Plus, of course, there are lots of updates to our trail content.

Our thanks to everyone who sent in feedback or helped with testing. We have the best users!

An app you can count on on the trail

I just finished hiking four days on the Cotswold Way, my first longish distant hike! The countryside was so beautiful and bucolic with the sheep and lambs in the pastures and green views everywhere we looked. We scheduled the trip through Mac Adventures but used Trekright Cotswold app to make our way. It was a fantastic app and stopped us from going the wrong direction a number of times. The app can be downloaded to work off line and provided live view of our progress. It has a great many features.

The tech support was awesome—Eugene, the developer, responded very quickly twice with detailed instructions that worked when I was confused about how to use the app. Trekright covers other trails and I highly recommend using it!

Developer Response ,

Thank you very much for the great review! I'm glad TrekRight was helpful on your walk along the Cotswold Way.

Essential

Our party of 4 recently completed the Cotswolds Way hike. It was wonderful - beautiful scenery, friendly people, and no worries about navigating the path because of the app. If we missed a turn (and we often would), the app quickly got us back on the path. I would regard this app as essential as a raincoat for any C-Way walkers!

Highly recommended!

Just finished walking the 102 mile Cotswold Way in England. This app helped us stay on the trail numerous times when the trail markings were unclear. The app is easy to use and filled with great details about each trail section, available services, and historical highlights. Thank you for a great app!
