Walking in the East Riding and GPS
There has been an explosion of GPS enabled devices in the last few years; from rugged walking units, to PDAs, smart-phones and car sat-navs. Such devices offer a good complement to paper maps, with their accurate display of location, use of waypoints to mark points of interest etc.
One valuable feature of most of these devices is the ability to import or export tracks/trails as GPX files. Such files are a record of the walk/drive taken and can be compared with a digital map or Google Earth, and used as a guide by people who have never done the walk before.
The East Riding of Yorkshire Council website 'Walking the Riding' has a good selection of walks throughout the region, and I will include the GPX files for these walks as I get round to it. Current walks are listed below by place name, and include the GPX file and and walk information. Alternatively, you can also find walks by clicking on the map on the homepage.
