Hi all,
I'm looking for a recommendations of mobile apps to recommend, for people
visiting rail trails in Australia. What we* need is:
Must have:
1) It has to be simple to use. There are lots of powerful apps like OSMand,
Locus etc, but they're incredibly complex, with lots of features we don't
need.
2) Should by default use bicycle rendering (OpenCycleMap or other), or be
very easy to change to that.
3) We'll need a recommendation for both iPhone and Android.
Nice to have:
4) Easy-to-use offline tile downloading/use would be a bonus. (Personally I
find it pretty complex switching between offline vector rendering and
online tiles in the apps I mentioned before).
5) Features like "food/drink near here" would be a bonus.
6) Ability to also choose Google Maps would be a bonus.
7) Ability to route along bike paths (ie, rail trails) would be nice.
Once we've chosen an app, we're going to have to give instructions like
"download the app, push this button to change to cycle mode, push this
button to download tiles" etc, so the simpler the better.
Thanks,
Steve
