It's simple to use - you just point and go! It includes a choice of Map or Satellite Image in view and a Search function to help locate things.

Once downloaded no wi-fi or cellular network is necessary, so you can use when out and about when there is no or poor signal coverage.

This version is for the Peak District in central England and locates places in and around the National Park and the wider area. It reaches a rectangle stretching from and including Manchester in the West to Sheffield in the East, an area of over 3000 km2.

The Peak District is characterized by steep limestone valleys like Dovedale, with its famed stepping stones, and Lathkill Dale in the park’s southern area, which is known as White Peak. North, the Dark Peak area has dramatic gritstone ridges and stark moorland plateaus like Kinder Scout, the park’s highest point. The nearby village of Edale marks one end of the iconic Pennine Way footpath.

Categories that can be viewed and selected include Tourist Attractions, Hills, Lakes, Parks & Woodlands, Cities, Towns, Suburban Areas, Villages & Hamlets, Cafes, Restaurants, Cafes, Airports, Train & Major Bus Stations, Municipal Buildings, Places of Worship, Historic Sites and Museums & Arts.
