C&O Companion for Positive User Reviews

✓ Great AppIf you spend time on the canal, get this app. It is worth having the contact number on you alone. The list of real time canal access points is very useful. Suggestion: It would be great to track where you have been on past trips - link photos, dates push pins, etc. Thanks for one of my favorite apps!.SilveradoBobVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Invaluable ToolI downloaded this app before a tour on the C&O towpath. It came in very handy for locating campsites and planning out our days. I would highly recommend it to anybody looking to bike the C&O..OgroatVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Great AppJust rode the C&O from Cumberland to DC for the second time, and it would have been nice to have this app 10 years ago! Stopped at Barron’s Store for ice cream and snacks, and talk with the Tyler family...it was the last day of the season as they were closing a bit early this year. I let them know about the app and they were happy to see it and the details being published for the store. Also used the app to plan exit and dinner at Buddy Lou’s in Hancock and check the trail status in a couple areas that were closed 10 years ago and one area the Tylers told me was a slight detour due to a washout of the trail. Otherwise it is a great reference and is up to date, and it does sync for me... Also used it to track down mile 0 marker that I missed 10 years ago. Great app and worth every penny!.Ramses400Version: 1.3.1

✓ Excellent resourceReally good information in a convenient format. I do wish it listed shower facilities for those planning to stay at H/B campsites..NochasingiguanasVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Riding C&O and gapI just downloaded this app and I will be using it later this week when riding the C&O trail. It already knows my location even though I am across the country. It looks like it will be well used and very invaluable. Is there an app like this for the GAP trail?.Norwayjose2015Version: 1.4.0

✓ Excellent app!Great app for finding things along the canal!. Need a NATIVE app for Blackberry 10 OS.Rusavd1Version: 1.2.0

✓ CyclistPretty awesome app! I will never bike on the towpath without it!.BetseyBVersion: 1.0

✓ Invaluable!Absolutely great app for riding the trail. Just two minor suggestions: Allow the user to manually locate themselves on the path instead of using GPS. The sync option is great for low service, but on our long trip I had my phone in airplane mode most of the way do it wouldn't burn through the battery trying to contact far away cell towers. This meant that I had no GPS lock, and made navigation through the app a bit less convenient. Summary information from yelp would be helpful in finding food stops, and perhaps add link outs to the full we page. Thanks for putting this together!.M BVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Best $3 I ever spendWas worth it just for a day. Going to use it in a few weeks to do the whole towpath..Scouter TVersion: 1.3

✓ Having a gps problemThe app thinks I’m at mm 148. I live closest to nolands ferry..JettaJackVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Handy resourceGreat app -- highly recommend it to anyone riding the C&O towpath. Invaluable for figuring out what's nearby and determining H/B campsites on the fly. Even though cell coverage is spotty along parts of the C&O, my network was always available, making this app worth the money. Thanks to whoever put this app together!.C&O Bike RiderVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Fantastic App for C & O Towpath!This app works great out on the trail. Really helpful to have distance information to the necessary locations. Very fond of the emergency buttons as well. Thanks!.GidoverVersion: 1.4.0

✓ My favorite biking appMost of my "long" rides have some component of the C&O involved… this app is a super helpful resource if only to answer the question I usually have: "where the heck am I?" Knowing where the closest H/B campsite is relative to my current location… where the closest "civilization point" is… super useful. If you're going to be on the C&O for any reason, for any length of time, this is a tremendous resource. Worth every penny. UPDATE Oct 2012 - I am honestly puzzled by the one star reviews. I've never had a problem with the app, and I've used it many times from mile 0 in DC all the way to Cumberland. Still my favorite biking app, and I wish there was a comparable one for the GAP!.9ballVersion: 1.2.0

✓ GreatA great app written by someone with an apparent knowledge of what a biker really needs on the C & O Canal..SitspinVersion: 1.1.0
