RECORD YOUR TREK Distance, time, elevation gain and steps, sampled while the phone is in your pocket and the screen is off. Your route is saved to your own private account so a lost phone doesn't cost you the trek. It is never shown to other trekkers. TRAIL REPORTS FROM PEOPLE AHEAD OF YOU Read what other trekkers found at the places you are walking to: a broken bridge, a closed teahouse, a spring that has run dry, a junction that is easy to miss, where the trash goes, where to get help.
