"Social Hiking is one of those rare application; something new yet so simple in its concept you can't believe nobody's already done it. It extends the capabilities of an already superb GPS system from ViewRanger and adds a whole new dimension to walking"

"Even though, Social Hiking has only been active for a year or so, the functionality is increasing all the time and there have been regular blog posts describing the latest features. So, it's been easy to keep up with developments. The app is under constant development and any bugs have been squashed very quickly!"

Product of The Year 2011 - "Social Hiking has already revolutionised the world of mobile phone based navigation, bringing mapping and route finding together with social media from Twitter to audio and video linking. Initially designed as an add-on for ViewRanger the application has gone from strength to strength, now running on pretty much the whole spectrum of mobile phone platforms and finding fans from the USA to Eastern Europe."

"I was already hooked on watching Jilly's cycle across to Eastern Europe via the Social Hiking site. Watching her progress each day and reading her live tweets from whatever small foreign town she was in. She also posted some amazing photos on Flickr via social hiking. Like I said, very addicting stuff. It also makes me want to get out and travel, hike or cycle."

Getting Social with Social Hiking by Camp Trip

"Social Hiking is a brilliant service that combines location information derived from a multitude of possible sources (Viewranger, Instamappr, Twitter, SPOT) and combines these with geotagged/timestamped media (from the likes of Flickr and Audioboo) to create fully interactive, media-rich maps of progress made. It is a great way to track and interact with people out and about."

"Social Hiking is an excellent and promising website. It's relatively simple to use and passes the "I wish I'd thought of that" test."
