Aegina Hiking

Aegina Hiking is a digital field guide for hiking and tourism in Aegina Island.

It includes routes, descriptions and photos for 13 hiking trails, 3 bike rides and 2 car tours. Each trail has an elevation profile, a statistic analysis, a detailed description, several photos and a POIs list.

Aegina is famous for its ancient monuments, the peculiar volcanic landscape and the well preserved neoclassical buildings.

The application offers detailed off-line maps and an extensive introduction on geography, geology, the most important settlements and monuments, and the nature of Aegina Island. The app offers also a useful list of POIs (most island's accommodations are included) with a comprehensive search engine.

In the field, the application identifies the nearest route and make active navigation to it and then along it, with continuous messages to the user, while pops-up photos on every interesting or important terrain feature close to his position. If the hiker position is more than 20 meters far from the trail, the application warns him and suggests how to go back.

The cartographic company AnaDigit, creator of the application, has issued hundreds of hiking maps for Greece (eg. maps of Kalymnos,Santorini, Crete, Mt. Olympus, Zagori, Sifnos, Naxos and other Aegean islands). AnaDigit was the hiking expert involved in the planning and the implementation of the recently waymarked hiking network.
