| How to use sat nav to find the start of a walk |
If you want to use satellite navigation to locate the start of any walk in our collection of free routes just follow the six steps set out below. For this how-to guide I have chosen screen shots from the mobile version of
Walk 250: Northchurch Common Loop.
1: Choose the walk you want to explore from
our collection of free routes then scroll down the page until you find the first What3Words reference in the directions - usually in point 1 or just above point 1, see the area circled in orange in the image below.
 |
| Click on the What3Words reference |
2: Click on the What3Words reference to reveal the location for the start of the walk and a button to 'navigate' to the start point, see the area circled in orange in the image below.
 |
| Click on the 'navigate' button |
3: Click on the 'navigate' button to reveal a selection of apps that can be used with the What3Words reference. I use Google Maps so I will pick the icon on the left, see the area circled in orange in the image below.
 |
| Click on the map icon for the app you use in the car |
4: Click on the map icon for the app you use in the car. A page will appear with a map and the location, see the area circled in orange in the image below.
 |
| Click on 'Directions' |
5: Click on 'Directions' to instruct your sat nav to take you to the start point, see the area circled in orange in the image below.
 |
| Click on 'start' to direct you to the starting point |
6: Click on 'start' to set the sat nav to take you to the starting point of the walk.
Thank you David. That is really useful.
