In what areas are hiking routes available in HikeNode?

Hiking routes are available worldwide in HikeNode. Europe has the best coverage. The coverage in other parts of the world is less. The hiking route network is made available by WayMarkedTrails.org that gets its data from OpenStreetMap.org.

Can I correct mistakes in the route network or add missing routes?

Yes you can. The source of the route network is maintained at OpenStreetMap.org (OSM). OSM is a freely editable world map where anybody can participate. Which means that it is by no means complete, but it also means that you can contribute by adding new routes and correcting mistakes in existing ones. To find out more about OpenStreetMap, see the Beginner’s guide.

Can I create a route and use it for my personal navigation?

No. HikeNode just shows the routes on the map.

Is a satellite and terrain view available?

Yes. The button at the top of the screen switches between the Standard, Satellite and Terrain view. You just need to click that button until your wanted view is shown.

Are the routes cached on my device for off-line usage?

No. Internet access is required to view the routes.
