"I couldn't walk without my compass clino (a professional compass that comes with an attached mirror for precise and directional measurements)... But I'd also have to add my I phone as now - connection required - you can download all the Geoglogy maps of the UK with the British Geological Survey App!"
Ian Stewart is a geologist and TV presenter on BBC 1's Making Scotlands Landscapes and highlights in this contribution to TRAIL magazine that apps for plainning journeys are becoming more widely used and its becoming a more modern and interesting way to nagivatge around rather than using a map. Berghaus could take inspiration from this by designing their own routes for users, making it more modern by adding places they can stop off and specfic Berghaus kit that could be tailored to the specific conditions of the route. The app could also include a some kind of compass for added nagivation.
