Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback.

As the waymarking is not the responsibility of either the author or Visorando, the ‘Route on map’ feature is not intended to evaluate the waymarking itself, but rather to assess how closely the route shown on the map matches the actual terrain.

Visorando does not provide advice on signposting as this can be altered or removed… whereas the terrain features are a constant source of information.

Visorando provides a detailed route description (which can be improved) and an IGN route map at a scale of 1:25,000. And, if signposting is essential to you, Visorando offers a virtual signposting tool: a GPS app.

This tool, offered free of charge by Visorando, allows you to verify waypoints and thus resolve any doubts regarding navigation.

See you soon
