David G Fassbender | Mar 3 2020, 9:14am | Hi folks, Does anyone use any particular apps for trail running? I'm wondering specifically if there are any apps that guide you on new trails in /around Dublin and Wicklow area. Thanks, David |
John J Barry | Mar 3 2020, 9:38am | David, Unlikely there is anything free that would be good enough for mountains. ViewRanger or EastWest Mapping would be good paid ones. |
Eoin Keith | Mar 3 2020, 9:46am | plenty of online trail mapping, like opencyclemaps. For similar offline abilities try something like Locus maps combined with openandromaps for offline mapping, or talkytoaster for mapping if you're using a garmin device. |

You'll find lots of segments all over Dublin / Wicklow. There's not much open trails that are not part of a segment. Click on any segment and it'll bring you to the leaderboard. Click on the name and you'll see that person's full route. Viewranger is pretty good, shows open trails. |
John Murray | Mar 3 2020, 11:39am | I use the App 'AllTrails' when I'm travelling to find local routes but it also lists hundreds of city and mountain routes around Ireland. |
Sarah Jones | Mar 3 2020, 12:46pm | OsmAnd is a worldwide and off line app |
John Condon | Mar 3 2020, 1:57pm | View Ranger is a handy app for both navigation and routes |
Rory Leadbetter | Mar 5 2020, 9:49am | Ive used Both the View Ranger and All Trails apps. Found them both useful but would definitely go with All Trails. |
