All Dorset Hospitality Hash House Harriers

Google Maps has a free utility called "My Maps" that allows routes to be plotted in different colours & with markers to highlight places. So it's really good for hashing, where there can be multiple trails (long, short & medium), & stops for a beer or re-groups, & a point for the venue & maybe an apres. The map is created using a laptop, PC or Chromebook. It can then be viewed on a smart phone, and together with the GPS, one can see exactly where you are, and where all the trails go.

Well, you can view the map on your smart phone most of the time. But all these apps, OS & Google Maps included, are unreliable, if there is no mobile data available. OS will give you a blank page, Google maps will be locked in a loop trying to retrieve your data!! Solution: take photos of the route whilst you have a good signal, & delete after the trip! 

Oddly the maps are actually layers on what Google calls a map. There can be 10-12 layers per map - hence the layout of this page, where each linked map has 6-11 layers (hashes).
