   Now you just need to do some lobbying to get 3G access in the Highlands somewhere other than Inverness….

   I agree that 3G is at least as important as fixed line broadband access – it would be nice to have a plan with timescales for its rollout here.

   On a plus note, the app is designed to work happily and speedily on 2G – even without Edge. We only transfer tiny amounts of information with unchanging data stored on the phone. We’ve tested it here in Forres where 3G is just a dream.

   In the next release we intend to add an offline mode too, for where there is no signal at all. It’s a little more challenging – keeping it both up-to-date and easy to use, but we have a prototype working.

   Thanks for your feedback.

   Thanks – sorry if comment sounded negative, not the intention.

   Any plans for this application to be deployed yet? We are looking into future options for delivering walking routes to mobile phones – especially useful on phones with GPS as the route track can download to the phone together with the description. Viewranger is one option but I’m interested in how your app will work.

   Hi Paul,

   I didn’t take it as negative – just a frustrated non-3G-er here!

   You can find the preview app by searching for “Greater Speyside” in the app store.

   David.
