The Trailguide App

The Trailguide App is focused around the map. Activities are clustered in blue "bubbles" of varying sizes and color depth to indicate the number of activities in the area. You can zoom and move around the map. You can click on the blue bubbles to zoom in to that specific area. Click on a track to show information about it at the bottom of the screen. Clicking on the bottom information bar will open the full trail page.

The blue "bubble" with the number 77 indicates that there are 77 trails to be found in the area of Finale Ligure in Italy.

Clicking on the "cluster bubble" will zoom into the area of Finale Ligure and reveal all the tracks on the map.

Clicking on a track will show information about the trail, including the height profile. Moving your finger on the height profile indicates the position on the track.
