LICENCES

The plugin allows to see the maps through two licences: Discovery licence (free), and Adventure licence (5.99$USD / month or 14.99$USD / year). The Discovery licence is limited by a monthly quota shared between all the users. Once the quota is exceeded, the maps can't be displayed until the next month.

With the Adventure licence, you can also download the maps beforehand on your device, in order to use them without any internet access.

IGNrando’

IGNrando' (https://ignrando.fr) is a website provided by the IGN, allowing you to visualize treks and points of interest among the tens of thousands available. You can also add and share yours. Those treks and points of interest are mostly available in France only.

With E-walk, you can synchronize the treks and points of interest that you like on your device. Thereby, they will be available anywhere, and you'll no longer need an internet access to see them.
