About TrailSmart: Great Trails of the World
TrailSmart: Great Trails of the World is a comprehensive, incredibly handy mobile app providing in-depth coverage of some of our favourite long-distance hiking / cycling trails. It is the successor to our popular TrekRight apps.

We're covering a growing collection of trails. Our current coverage includes:
- Camino de Santiago (including the Francés, Primitivo, Portugués, and Finisterre).
- Cotswold Way (UK)
- Hadrian's Wall Path (UK)

# The Right Information, When You Need It
TrailSmart provides you with information tailored to your current location. If you are approaching a town, TrailSmart will tell you how far you still have to go, what attractions are available around you, where you can find a water fountain, options for where to stay the night, and clear, detailed directions. You can easily see what things you flagged as interesting, which things you added notes to, and which you marked as favourites.
# In-depth Reference Information
TrailSmart's trail 'Trekopedia' 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.
# Interactive Offline Maps
Powerful, flexible maps that display your current location on your route along with pins showing all the locations included in the Trekopedia (just touch a pin to open its related Trekopedia entry). Filter and do searches. Detailed, high-quality offline maps are also available via in-app purchase, so you have full access to maps even without an Internet connection. When you do have an Internet connection, great online maps are also available.
# Intelligent Compass
Just follow the yellow arrow! TrailSmart's intelligent compass points you in the right direction based on your current location and your selected route, and updates dynamically as you move. It takes into consideration all the twists and turns in your route and can even point you back in the right direction when off-route exploring towns.
# Pre-Trek Planning & Preparation
TrailSmart 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). Review and rank accommodation, flag locations of interest as ‘favourites’, add your own notes, and more.

TrailSmart's content is regularly updated and expanded based on the latest information available to us. You can check for content updates (including entirely new trail datasets) directly inside TrailSmart and download content whenever it is convenient for you (even on the trail), without having to connect to Play. Always be up-to-date!
# No Internet Connection Required
