Overview
About this application
A guide that will help you in your hikes with maps, tracks and GPS position.
Hiking Guide is a web app written in HTML, Javascript and CSS, and has been tested on Firefox.
It can show:
- Maps: If online, it shows maps from OpenStreetMap. And if not on a Firefox OS phone (security constraints do not allow to load external Javascript), it also shows Google Maps (physical, streets, hybrid and satellite).
- Tracks: It can show a downloaded track and its distance. It works with GPX and KML tracks. On a Firefox OS phone, tracks must be located in a directory called "tracks" in the SD card.
- Position: If GPS is connected, it shows the current position and the path and distance made.
Hiking Guide uses the OpenLayers (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.openlayers.org/)">http://www.openlayers.org/)</a>, Enyo (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://enyojs.com/)">http://enyojs.com/)</a>, OpenStreetMap (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">http://www.openstreetmap.org</a>) and Google Maps (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://maps.google.com">http://maps.google.com</a>) libraries.

Hiking Guide has so far been translated to Basque, English, Spanish and French.
Hiking Guide can be run directly using Firefox on any platform from Github (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://e-gor.github.io/HikingGuide)">http://e-gor.github.io/HikingGuide)</a>.
On a Firefox OS phone it has to be installed (otherwise the geolocation and SD-card APIs cannot be used). The installation can be done from the Firefox Marketplace (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/hiking-guide)">https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/hiking-guide)</a>. The Github address redirects there if on a Firefox OS phone.
