Brilliant app. Very useful for getting along the canals as well as finding facilities, shops and transport to and from canal. I'm curious to know what the additional markers are along the K&A at the Crofton flight I.e. /// trombone.liquid.headed and ///uttering.whirlwind.takers? Might be elsewhere in the app but only found these so far! UPDATE: Just followed the link to the developers website and found my answer. 😊

Just finished a two-week trip on the Cheshire Ring using this app. It's honestly every bit as useful, if not more so, than the canal guides! Great for determining your position if you forgot to note the last bridge number, or for making sure you don't blow right past the water point you're looking for. More convenient than the books if you're buttoned up for rain. Only thing I can think of that would improve the app would be tools to measure distance (and better yet ETA) along canal routes.

Just downloaded this app with the intention planning a canal journey and knowing the length of said journe. However like the other similar apps and websites you can look at a map of the canal, however you select a point and measure telephone distance to that point or location. It offers the Googles own ruler tool with measure distance as the crow flies.

Info on water points, on the Thames, was unreliable - often a water point turned out to either not be there at all or was a tap in a lock that was not usable to fill up with. Lack of route planning was disappointing.

No route planning? It's just a map at the moment with no options to plan a route. Gives you the option to open Google Maps but that doesn't route via the canals so pretty pointless
