Today's podcast is with Eoin Hamilton, one of the key players behind the increasingly popular Hiiker App, which I'm sure you've seen popping up around various websites supporting various outdoor bloggers and influencers.
The Hiiker is an app contributed to by members of the outdoor community to help users discover, plan, and navigate their outdoor adventures. The app has numerous hikes, paths and trails collated from around the world, so wherever you go, you will probably have access to routes that even locals don't know about.
The app has everything from day hikes and nature walks to long-distance trails like the Coast to Coast, Hadrians Wall, The Pennine way through to the Camino de Santiago and the Tour du Mont Blanc. Data in the app is sourced from various databases, but what makes Hiiker special is that information on the trails is sourced by those who have hiked it, making the quality of the content more reliable.
This means that as a user, you can not only see the campsites, water sources, shelters, hotels, transportation hubs, and other data points provided within the app, but you can provide your own suggestions, edits, comments, or reviews of individual data points on any given trail (or the trail itself).
