Cicerone, the publisher of over outdoor guidebooks, and ViewRanger, an outdoor GPS app provider, have joined forces to offer walkers a new guide app for their smartphones

The agreement sees routes from two titles, Yorkshire Dales North and East and Yorkshire Dales South and West, available to download via ViewRanger, which is a navigation tool for smartphones.

ViewRanger allows users to combine detailed mapping, such as the OS Landranger series, with recommended routes from a database of over 10,000 routes in the UK.

Few areas in England are so immediately appealing as the Yorkshire Dales, each valley has a character of its own and the guides take users on an exploration of some of the most remarkable limestone landscapes in the country.

Walks, ranging from gentle three-mile strolls to more strenuous daylong rambles, aim to seek out the area’s most attractive and fascinating features.

If you are planning to stay in the Yorkshire Dales, go to the campsite finder to pick a suitable site.

To obtain the routes on your smartphone, download the free ViewRanger app from the app store, and search for “Cicerone” in the routes menu.

Each route download is charged using ViewRanger credits at 99p and Ordnance Survey Landranger 1:50K mapping for Yorkshire & Humberside costs £7.49.
