Open Canal Map UK 4+

After being on the network for 3 years I do find this is my go to app. CRT notifications are up to date which is great for closures (particularly on rivers) . Having said that, I do use in conjunction with the Canalplan AC for journey planning on my pc. Ultimately, any help is much appreciated navigating the network and free help is the best kind :) so, thank you!

Well, I have downloaded it and looked at it carefully, but haven’t had the opportunity to use it on my boat yet. With difficulty, I found an area that I know well (no search function, to easily locate a specific junction, town, marina or flight of locks?), and noticed a water point and a diesel point that I know are there but aren’t marked. I tried to report them, but the option was greyed out, with an orange note saying “requires ...”, the rest of the phrase running off the side of my screen and no apparent way of scrolling across to see it! Not a lot of use really: I guess I’ll never know what it requires and never be able to report anything 😕
I can’t find anywhere a key to the symbols used. For example, what are the little white dots that appear here and there meant to represent? What about the sets of three random words that litter the screen? I do have some vague idea of what they are about, but I don’t see what possible use they are to me as a canal user, they are just clutter on the map.
I do like the way that the map is overlaid on a greyed-out satellite map, that is helpful.
One more ask, that would hugely increase its value to me, would be the facility to add notes. If I could mark a spot with “don’t moor here, noisy road” or “sloes on the off-side here” that would be invaluable to me and far superior to my current method of noting such things.

I was told about this app by a holiday maker from Holland of all places and I am very pleased he told me The app is impressive especially as it’s free I use it in conjunction with my Canel maps but only because I have them. If I go on a canal I’ve not got a book for, I’ll be just using the app. I really don’t think I’ll need another book I’m sure they’re improvements that can be made but I don’t know what they might be and I would recommend this app to anyone wanting to cruise the canals
