Hiking in Peloponnese

数字指南17远足区的伯罗奔尼撒半岛地区

"Hiking in Pelponnese Region" is a digital field guide for hikers visiting Peloponnese, Greece. The app belongs to the topoGuide series of applications. The area covered by he app belongs to Arcadia, Argolida, Corinthia, Lakonia and Messinia.

The Peloponnese Region is presented to the hiker through seventeen trails, which combine natural beauty, cultural richness, original landscapes and accommodation facilities. The app starts with an introduction on the geography, the landscapes and the nature of the 17 areas. The 17 trails are depicted on a very detailed off-line map and each one has an accurate track and a rich description with POIs and photos.

The hiker can browse the map and the chapters interactively and get any relevant information for the trails (signposting, length, time, elevation profile, vegetation type etc). The app comes with an innovative Virtual Hiker, who runs along the trail and invokes the display of all information and photos.

When in the field, the app identifies the nearest trail and provides active navigation on the path, displaying messages and warnings on every junction or other important location. On each Point of Interest, photos and texts are pop-up on the map. If the hiker gets off-trail, the app indicates the shorter way to get back safely.
