Hiking and rambling have become increasingly popular in recent years. In the U.S., as of 2016, there are over 42 million hikers, up from 29 million in 2006. This increased interest in the activity isn’t confined to the U.S. however, with 26 percent of Britons saying they’ve taken a hiking trip, at some stage, in the country.
ViewRanger is a free smartphone app that is seeking to appeal to this ever-growing audience of hikers. The newest version of the app, which is paired with the Apple Watch Series 3, is able to pinpoint your exact location, while highlighting 10 hiking routes that you can choose to take, from this initial location.
