About: Elafonisos topoguide

Elafonisos topoguide is a digital field guide for hiking and tourism in Elafonisos Island. It includes routes, descriptions and photos for 6 hiking trails and 3 MTB rides. Each trail has an elevation profile, a statistic analysis, a detailed description, several photos and a POIs list.

The application offers detailed offline maps and an extensive introduction on geography, geology, the most important settlements and monuments, and the nature of Elafonisos Island. The app offers also a useful list of POIs (all island's accommodations are included) with a comprehensive search engine.

In the field, the app identifies the nearest adventure and provides active navigation on the path, displaying messages and warnings on every junction or other important location. On each Point of Interest, photos and texts are displayed on the map. If the hiker gets off-trail, the app indicates the shorter way to get back safely.




The cartographic company AnaDigit, creator of the application, has issued hundreds of hiking maps for Greece (eg. maps of Santorini, Crete, Mt. Olympus, Zagori, Sifnos, Naxos and other Aegean islands). To build the application and ensuring data accuracy, all tracks and cartographic information have been recorded during June 2016.
