THORSBORNE TRAIL APP
The Thorsborne Trail App has been designed and built specifically for people who want to hike the Thorsborne trail. It’s a combination of technology and good old fashioned local island and Thorsborne Trail knowledge.
Using the APP could not be simpler. No login required – just install it and let it do its thing.
First off, it will do an offline map download – this allows you to use the map when mobile coverage is non-existent. Signal coverage is patchy on the Island so this feature is great. You can use the app even in flight mode to save batteries.
