Each Adventure has a description, photos and a POIs list.

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.

Hymettus, as well as hundreds other hiking maps for Greece (eg. maps of Crete, Zagori, Sifnos, Naxos and other Aegean islands). To build the application and ensuring data accuracy, all tracks of Mt. Hymettus have been recorded again during 2015.
