At this time of the year, go out on the field or by the mountain It is a hobby of many people, healthy and fun. However, it can be even more, while safely, using the necessary applications, which we often do not think, but that they can save us from an emergency or help us to make the route more entertaining.
That is why today I am going to show you the 3 applications that I have on my iPhone and that I do not go out without them. Some may not always use it, but I assure you that the time comes, you may appreciate it, so because nothing will happen, they do not occupy much space, they are quite light.
Best hiking apps
We will start with the most basic, and that I imagine that we all have, although in my case, and after trying many, I think it is the best for this type of exercise. Is called Wikilocand it is basically a browser that will tell us the time we were walking, the km tours, altitude, and other parameters.
In addition, it has routes already created by other users of the community, which is a great success if you are traveling in a city or town you do not know, and you want to make some interesting. You will have that recommendation, together with photos, the time you would, or the difficulty. The truth is that it seems to me the most complete for hiking fans.
Then, we have to talk about this other app. It seems superinteresenant, especially if we are lovers of nature. Is called Plantnetand I am surprised how well it works. You can take a picture of a plant, flower or tree, and it will tell you what species it is. It has an immense database, and use your location to determine, with more reliability, what we are talking about. If I have taken 1,000 photographs and consultations, I think it has never failed me. It's great to know what that tree is never seen before, or that plant that has such a weird red fruit.
Finally, and not least, I would like to recommend an app that will tell us what place is the closest telephony antenna. This can be very useful if you are going to make a route through places with little coverage, knowing the site to which you should move if you want to find a signal again, which can be very necessary in emergency cases. Although he remembers that 112 works through satellite. If you have direct vision with the sky, you can call despite having a signal in your SIM.
Currently, the app is outside the store, but we can use the Web pagefrom where we can, before starting the route, check the coverage level we will have.
I hope these 3 applications have liked you, I think they are very useful if we are going to make routes on a regular basis. If you know another one that you think is essential, leave us a comment and so we can discover it, surely there are many more that will offer us different functions.
