Visorando Walking Routes 3.14.2

Visorando is an invaluable tool for outdoor enthusiasts looking to discover curated routes and transform their smartphones into a fully functional GPS device, even without an internet connection. With millions of users worldwide, this mobile app has become a go-to resource for exploring paths of all kinds.

One of the key strengths of Visorando is the wide selection of routes available. From mountain hikes to countryside strolls, coastal walks to urban explorations, and even international adventures, there's something to suit every preference. The app allows users to search for routes that match their location, desired activity level, and duration. Each route sheet provides essential details such as an OpenStreetmap map, GPX file, step-by-step description, length, elevation gain, altitude range, elevation chart, points of interest, difficulty level, weather forecast, and user-contributed photos and reviews. With over 26,000 meticulously curated routes to choose from worldwide (including more than 3,500 in English), Visorando offers an unrivaled wealth of options.

Visorando also offers offline functionality that allows users to locate themselves on the map and be guided along their chosen route. By downloading the itinerary beforehand and pressing the start button, users can access real-time GPS guidance even in areas without cellular coverage. The app displays the user's live location and tracks their progress on the map. In the event of going off-track, an alert mechanism ensures they stay on course. Additionally, the app records the actual route followed, allowing users to share it with others or retrace their steps later.

For those who can't find a suitable route among the existing options, Visorando provides tools to plot and record custom routes. The route planner feature is available for free on the Visorando website (and accessible on mobile phones for subscribers of Visorando Club). It allows users to create their own routes on their laptops and synchronize them across devices. Users can also record live routes, including distance, duration, and elevation gain, and reference them on the map at a later time. Furthermore, the option to import GPX files is available.

Visorando Club, a premium subscription service, enhances the user experience by offering additional features. Subscribers gain access to licensed topographic maps such as OS Explorer, IGN France, Swisstopo Switzerland, Belgium, and Spain directly on their mobile phones. This feature ensures precise visualization of elevation, contours, and other terrain-related details. Users can also share their live position with loved ones for added safety and avail themselves of hour-by-hour weather forecasts specific to their routes. Organizational tools for managing and categorizing routes are also provided. Visorando Club is available for £4.99 per month or £21.49 per year, with users having the choice to opt for automatic renewal.

One standout feature for Visorando Club subscribers is the inclusion of OS Explorer maps at a scale of 1:25,000 on mobile devices. These maps serve as the ultimate reference for outdoor enthusiasts as they provide precise details on elevation, contours, and terrain features. They also include invaluable information on tourist and leisure activities, national trails, and public rights of way.

Ensuring high-quality content is a top priority for Visorando. The platform operates as a participative community where users are encouraged to share their own routes. To maintain the integrity and accuracy of published routes, each submission undergoes a robust screening and editing process carried out by a team of dedicated volunteers. The final version is published only after consultation with the original author.

For guidance in using the mobile app, Visorando offers a comprehensive user manual that can be accessed here.
