Visorando - Walking routes

Visorando transforms any smartphone into a powerful recreational GPS, helping outdoor enthusiasts explore trails worldwide with confidence. With millions of global users, the app offers curated walking, hiking, and cycling routes that cater to all experience levels and environments. 

A Wide Choice of Curated Routes

Visorando provides access to more than 26,000 carefully selected routes across the globe, including over 3,500 available in English. These routes cover a broad range of landscapes and difficulty levels, ensuring that every user can find an itinerary suited to their goals. 

Each route sheet includes essential information such as OpenStreetMap maps, GPX files, step-by-step directions, distances, elevation gain, altitude profiles, difficulty levels, weather forecasts, points of interest, and—when contributed—photos and reviews from the community. This ensures that users can prepare thoroughly before setting out.

Offline GPS Navigation for Worry-Free Exploring

Once a route is selected, users can download it for offline use, allowing full navigation even without mobile service. By pressing the start button, the app guides explorers along the chosen path, showing live location and real-time progress. If users drift off-track, an alert notifies them immediately.

Create, Record, or Import Custom Routes

Visorando supports personalised exploration through its route creation tools. Using the free route planner on the website, users can design their own itinerary. If subscribed to Visorando Premium, planning is also available directly from mobile devices. Automatic synchronisation ensures that custom routes appear across all devices linked to the same account.

Users can also record routes live, monitor distance, duration, and elevation, and retrace their steps if they become lost. Additionally, the option to import GPX files offers even greater flexibility.

Visorando Premium for Advanced Exploration

With a three-day free trial offered at registration, Visorando Premium provides enhanced features for deeper exploration. For £5/month or £21/year, subscribers can access licensed topographic maps such as OS Explorer (UK), IGN (France), Swisstopo (Switzerland), and more. Premium also includes live position sharing, detailed hourly weather forecasts, advanced file organisation, and additional navigation tools. Users can manage subscription settings, including automatic renewal preferences.

OS Explorer Maps: A Must for Outdoor Enthusiasts
