New app enables Cape Peninsula hikers

 

A new hiking app aims to make all 1 300km of the Cape Peninsula’s hiking trails a lot easier to navigate and to keep explorers safe. Forge is designed by hikers‚ outlining the various routes in terms of difficulty‚ elevation‚ terrain type and accessibility. Co-creator Alex Weiss says the app‚ free for download in the app store‚ will change the way people explore the region. ‘The digital map shows you where you are so you can take the right path,’ he said. The app will also add emergency contacts and show a hiker’s position at all times‚ in an effort to make the routes safer.
