So if you do not rock-climb a stack on the top of a mountain you cannot claim you have bagged it as a hill walker, but if you drive up a mountain, get a train up a mountain, take a helicopter up a mountain, you can claim it as a bagger. Fair enough. My fault. I clearly misunderstood the "walk&q...

In terms of that kind of categorisation, surely the Munros is neither a walking nor a climbing list but a hill list. That generalisation doesn't account for the reasoning behind the SMC putting out two different publications, with different routes and terminology, for walking and climbing the exact...

Though they both have PIE (proto-Indo/Euro) roots, Mountain comes to us via Latin & French (montis/montanea/montaigne) and Hill comes to us via Germanic (hull/holm). Use of each term has varied over the years. The Sussex Downs were called mountains for centuries. Same word, different languages. ...

The stack is a climbing route not a walking route.

By all means feel free to climb it but you're ticking-off boxes on climbing checklists not walking checklists.

assuming you pack the liner-style and the drybag-style equally efficiently Which is impossible. If you pack your drybags as efficiently as you reasonably can they will take significantly more volume (by creating more wasted volume) than packing into liner/s as efficiently as you reasonably can. It'...

.json files are an alternative to .gpx

It sounds like when you export them from OS they're being saved in the wrong format. Have a check around in your OS app settings.

Small drybags are more convenient for finding things, especially if you like to take 101 widgets and gadgets, but small drybags definitely significantly take more space compared to liners (assuming you pack the liner-style and the drybag-style equally efficiently).

The thing that killed Windows Phone (which I otherwise loved) was a lack of 3rd party Apps.

Interesting to see MS trying the same experiment twice.

A bit of detail. Are you using OS Maps on Android, iOS, Windows? Are you getting the error message whilst exporting the walk? Are you getting the error message whilst attempting to import the walk? If so check your save criteria. A walk.geojson file is different to a walk.gpx file of the same route.

You can reinstate it after installing Basecap and/or EasyGPS.

Don't worry about turning it off & on when you have confidence in the developers and their app.

Hey

Left a pair of TrekMates on a long return. Mud stoppers removed. On the low level, in the valley Ballachulish side.

If you want to use a different app with its own mapping for navigation then I don't think this app is going to be of much interest to you. Oh no. Believe me, having the long-format explanation downloaded with photos is fantastic. I download that separately to the GPX, and to use off-line I use scre...

I'd love for it to download the GPX as part of the download. Yes I know you have your own overlay, but I have my own mapping & tracking app (OruxMaps). What I like to do on the phone is use that for navigation, and then I switch to your site downloaded (before this app that was done via JPG scre...

Absolutely interested.

Do take the Garmin as backup and for recording route, I use a rugged Android phone as primary navigation.

I have heard that using a route to follow a uploaded gpx file can lead to problems as the gps navigates a straight line between waypoints on some occasions... How to avoid this happening? Follow as a track on the gps instead, but then you lose the audible bleeps of arriving at waypoints. You're rig...
