App Description

Mt. Hymettus topoguide is a digital field guide for hikers, bikers and nature lovers.

It includes routes, descriptions and photos for 33 hiking and mountaineering trails, 12 mountain bike (MTB) rides and 4 mountain running trails, which spread throughout the Mt. Hymettus, near Athens, Attica, Greece.
These 49 Adventure cover the whole Mt. Hymettus mountain range.

The application offers detailed offline maps and an extensive introduction on geography, geology and the nature of Mt. Hymettus, as well as a useful list of POIs with a search feature from the map screen.

The trails list includes easy walks, easy and moderate hiking trails and long mountain traverses, of a total length of 190 km.
The MTB routes, designed with the help of the cyclist Vangelis Kenourgios, cover all levels of difficulty and sum a total length of 198 km.

In the field, the app identifies the nearest adventure, guides you to it and then along it by displaying messages and warnings on every junction or other important location. On each Point of Interest, photos and texts are displayed on the map. If the hiker gets off-trail, the app indicates the shorter way to get back safely.

Also, a navigation feature allows to calculate routes and distances along roads and paths anywhere on the island.

The cartographic company AnaDigit, creator of the application, has issued previously detailed hiking maps at a scale of 1: 10,000 for Mt. 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 and 2018.

DISCLAIMER
During track recording, continued use of GPS can dramatically decrease battery life.
