--- In-depth Reference Information ---
TrailSmart's ‘Trekopedia’ is packed with extensive reference information on each trail. 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. Never get lost again!

--- Pre-Departure 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). Comes pre-defined with popular routes (full and partial) plus you can create your own or edit ours. Review and rank hotels / guesthouses, flag locations of interest, add your own notes, and more.

--- Up-To-Date Content ---
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 the App Store. Always be up-to-date!

--- No Internet Connection Required ---
All of TrailSmart's content is stored directly on your phone, including our detailed offline maps (once initially downloaded). No Internet connection is required!

Great Camino App

I found the app via reviews on a Camino forum. So the data sets I used were for the Camino Frances.
Map integration is great. Got me out a hole on quite a few times (when the yellow arrows were pointing the wrong way or weren’t visible or I’d just got up too early and it was pitch black!) - just tap on the centre arrow and the blue dot is yourself and then easy to navigate back to the route.
Finding hostels was a breeze, you can see what’s up ahead on the map and then tap on the hostel icons on the map and see a description to help you choose.
It’s great to have the knowledge base right there on your phone not requiring data. (3/4G isn’t always there on the Camino!)
TrailSmart are quick to respond to queries and are very helpful.

Can’t wait.....

I stumbled across this app while planning to walk the Camino in a few weeks’ time. After I downloaded the map I had a slight problem syncing it to my iPad. However I emailed Eugene and his response came within a few minutes and the issue resolved almost immediately. Very impressive. I was then ready to play....

I’m able to customise my route, see the elevations I can expect (not sure that was wise on my part!) and even see a street view. It’s a really detailed app with lots of info about my chosen route and I can’t wait to use it on my walk.

Hats off to Eugene for creating this - I love it.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad the app is helpful. Best wishes for your walk of the Camino -- have fun!

Everything you need for the Lycian Way

Really great app! Has everything from the detailed map (with any alternative routes and very precise GPS tracking (we could walk 2m down a junction and see if we’d taken the right path)), all accomodation options with phone numbers and (very) recent hikers’ experiences/prices and detailed instructions for path finding for each stretch of the trail. Didn’t need to use any other apps and could plan the next day’s hike and accommodation very easily from it
