Are you going to the mountains? Enter the largest mobile mountain trail search engine in Poland! Join mountain enthusiasts, discover routes, share your routes, opinions and photos - together we create a complete and useful database of mountain trails.
"Trails in the mountains" is an application that was created thanks to the cooperation of Żywiec Zdrój, Trail.pl and the Users themselves.
This application allows you to search and browse tourist routes and recommended by other trips. Each route is described in terms of the length and route of the trail on the map and acceptable activities, e.g. "walking", "bicycle" or "bird watching". The application also allows navigation through the selected route during the trip, using one of several available maps. With the app "Trails in the mountains" you can save your routes and share them with other mountain enthusiasts.

Comments
When using the application, remember that its operation depends on:
● the quality of the GPS signal,
● the availability and signal strength of the cellular network,
● device efficiency
The application can complement professional GPS devices, but can not replace them.
The application uses a database of routes created by professionals and users of mountain enthusiasts. Remember that the information contained therein does not have to correspond to the current state of the routes, so always check the terrain and weather conditions immediately before setting off on a trip.
Using a GPS application running in the background can significantly reduce battery life. The quicker use of the battery on the smartphone is primarily influenced by the constantly running features of recording in the background, GPS and switched on display.
