Mawson Trail Guide vs Bendigo ARt Trail Usage & Stats

A comprehensive Mawson Trail guidebook on a phone, full of information, and with excellent maps and navigation. It's built by Australians who have ridden the trail and LOVE bike packing! This guide works 100% without needing mobile phone reception or Internet access. The offline maps are very detailed, show the Mawson Trail, show where you are via GPS, have contour lines, and are marked up with huts you can stay in, camping areas, towns, alternative accommodation and many points of interest. As you ride along the trail, the App shows you how far you are from places like huts and towns, and has an interactive elevation graph so you can see what hills are between you and places. The App has beautiful photos to inspire you, detailed descriptions of each trail section, advice on how to prepare for your trip, what gear to bring, what bike to ride and suitable food. It's a complete "how to do the trail" guide. It has many other features and information, as described below. FEATURES: - Very detailed offline maps. They ALWAYS work, even when mobile phone coverage and Internet are not available. - The map is tuned to look great on a small phone screen and show details that a cyclist in remote areas needs.

You will never get lost because the maps always work and show you where you are, even when you stray from the Trail. The great detail on the maps make it easy to follow bush tracks and paths to get back to the Trail. This App was built by a small Australian software company. We've ridden the Trail and have extensive bike packing experience. We're confident our Mawson Trail Guide App will make your trip easier to plan, safer and more fun.
