Comments on Open Canal Map for Android

★★★★★ Fi Barn · Aug 31, 2019

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. 😊

★★★★★ Sarah Potter · Oct 8, 2024

What a great app! I spent a week on the Kinnet and Avon Canal as this app was fantastic to help us plan our stops for the night, pubs, facilities in local towns and where to get water too. I will download it again for our next trip.

★★★★★ Bill Parsons · Aug 21, 2023

As a continuous cruiser on the canal network, this app is essential to me. Easy to use providing immediate information on my location and of facilities, moorings, shops and pubs. It shows current warnings for closures and maintenance. It could be improved for me if it were possible to create comments for particular locations, eg: good/bad mooring.

★★☆☆☆ peter roots · Sep 16, 2022

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.

★★☆☆☆ Gordon Hook · Jul 30, 2019

Very limiting use as a canal map for someone who lives aboard a narrow boat. I find using the menu to open the Google Maps version is much better as you can see what is nearby. Also, lots of water points and elsan points aren't marked, and I still use the Nicholson guides for that.

★☆☆☆☆ Simon Moore · Mar 23, 2024

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
