Description

If you are planning a trip along the Chesapeake and Ohio Towpath, then don't leave without your C&O Companion.

The information found on the popular BikeWashington.org canal website is now available in an app. Simply sync and go. No data connection required when you are on the path.

While on the towpath, the C&O Companion will display your current location, and will help you find amenities along the way. It also has self-contained maps that do not require a data connection.

In the event of an emergency, the C&O Companion will help identify your location, and the quickest way to reach help.

What's New in Version 1.1.1

- Some text does not display when running on IOS 5
- Web pages now open in Safari

Customer Reviews

Invaluable! (5 stars)
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.

Invaluable Tool (5 stars)
I 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.

Great App (5 stars)
If 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!
