Re: Grahams and Fionas!

You can just look at the Sub2000s by height - you want those above 600m

Re: Grahams and Fionas!

The ones that are less than 2000 feet high (and so have always been on Walkhighlands as Sub 2000s). We had to change the name of the traditional 2000-2500 hill list to Fionas due to a trademark on the name Grahams. Grahams was the traditional term for hills 2000' - 2500', but can now only be used wh...

Re: Second and more rounds

You can indicate that you have completed past rounds. To do so, go into Account Settings (from the My Account menu at the to), then click the profile tab. There are fields to enter number of completed Munro rounds etc. - which then show on your WH profile.

Re: Problem with Walkinghighlands on IPhone 12

Hi there. It's not because of how you installed it. The message means at some point you have clicked to deny allowing Walkhighlands to show your location. The instructions for fixing it are in the app's help (the ? icon). There are 2 places you may need to change settings on an iphone: -Go to device...

Re: pictures not displayed

We've blocked several bots and I think everything should be loading a bit faster now - but we've some new ways to investigate the causes of any more slowdowns.

Re: Stalking

I do wonder if an independent website on walking in the Highlands could team up with a funder and host this information? We do already carry the current NatureScot stalking messages for relevant estate on the relevant hill routes on Walkhighlands. These days the service covers more hills, but provi...

Re: pictures not displayed

That's great. Sadly it means the attack problem from Germany is back really slowing the site down again.

Apologies to everyone for this. We're looking into another way of dealing with it that won't remove photos for people living in the area.

Re: Donating by DD to WalkHighlands

Thanks all, much appreciated.

There is actually always a link towards the bottom of the page, but running something like this for few days a couple of times a year has a much bigger affect as people tend not to notice things that are always there.

Re: pictures not displayed

Both myself and Grisu are outside the UK. I wonder if that has something to do with it? Like others, I can see all your pictures. I think you may have hit on the reason though. In order to have a huge capacity and serve pictures all over the world, we use Amazon Cloudfront to serve photographs (and...

Re: Sent a PM but still in Outbox..

Messages are in the outbox until they are read by the recipient, then they are in sent. It's so you can see whether they are read or not yet.

Re: Can't Download a Walk

I'll try to explain what GPX files are. Walkhighlands provides GPX files. On their own, these files contain datapoints but they don't do anything at all. If you don't have some sort of app that uses GPX files to open them, then your phone may not even let you download such files; certainly you won't...

Re: Can't Download a Walk

It's a GPX file - you can only open it with an app that can handle GPX files.

Our own app is much simpler and handles all the files behind the scenes without you having to do it.

Re: Can't Download a Walk

You can't open the file I suspect because your phone doesn't know what app it can use to open it. You could just try opening the file from whatever app you are wanting to open it in.

Re: GPS Planner Height Calculations

I tried thresholding yesterday and it doesn't help with mountainous terrain like this as the steep gradients involved on this sort of terrain mean that thresholds like those described in the article would never apply between points as close together as you can plot. You are on to something with your...
