Henro Helper

Henro Helper is packed with useful information to help you plan and complete your pilgrimage to the 88 Temples in Shikoku, Japan.

This application uses real time GPS tracking and heading information to help keep you on your preferred route. The routes are colour coded to show you busy roads (red), quiet roads (black), easy trails (green), moderate trails (blue) and difficult trails (purple). There is also a topographic map option.

This application contains easy to read waypoints for temples, points of interest, toilets, rest areas, convenience stores, accommodations, campgrounds and much more. Many of the waypoints are clickable to get more information.

This application also contains daily walking itineraries to visit the 88 Temples in 42 to 49 days. The daily walking itineraries also give you the choice of easy to more difficult routes. Each choice of route has information such as distance, elevation gain, estimated time as well as relevant notes.

The new "measure" tool will help you distance, elevation gain and estimated time. You can also create and save your own routes to build your own custom itinerary.
