Walkhighlands is used by many walkers for sharing their walking experiences and photos with Walk Reports. In a unique new feature we’ve now made it possible to easily illustrate where you went on your walk using Ordnance Survey mapping, both at Explorer and Landranger scales. You no longer need a GPS device – nor even to upload or download any files.
How to put a map in your reports
When adding a new trip report on the Forum there is now a link to ‘Draw route’. This opens up a new window containing an OS map. Type in the area at the start of your route into the box so that the map jumps to the right area for you to draw your walk. Now click to place markers along your route. When you’ve finished drawing it, press ‘Add to walk report’. The map window will close and you should be back at the trip report form. However the route map you drew will now be in the report as an attachment and other users will see it marked on an OS map.
