Using Lakeland Fells is quite a straightforward way to plan and log your walking days in The Lake District.

Starting the app takes you to the list view, where all of the fells are listed alphabetically.  The first few times you use the app, you'll be asked to allow Lakeland Fells to use your current location.  If you allow Lakeland Fells to use your location, you'll see your distance from the summit point of the fell at the right side of the list.

Also, you'll notice that the grid reference for each fell is shown underneath the fell.  This depends on the selection you have made in the Settings app under Lakeland Fells.  You can choose from Ordnance Survey Grid Reference (OSGB), Military Grid Reference (MGRS), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and good old Latitude/Longitude.  Ordnance Survey Grid Reference is the default.

When you touch a fell, you'll be taken to the fell's details.

Here you'll find the name of the fell (and any other name it is known by), its location (in your chosen grid format), it's elevation, the region of the Lake District, Cumbria or Yorkshire that it falls into and any ascents you have made and logged are stored here.

There are also a couple of other cells which, when touched perform specific tasks.

'View on Map' displays the fell on a Google Map.  Its position is shown by a green pin.

'Send to NavigX Touch' takes the location of the fell and, if you've got it installed, opens the fell in NavigX Touch where you can store it in the waypoint directory and use your iPhone to navigate to the summit.

For more information on NavigX Touch, click here.

You'll probably also notice the 'Edit' button on the navigation bar at the top of the screen.

If you touch this, you'll be able to add your ascents of the fell as well as select a picture of the fell.

Just click 'Done' when you're finished editing.

There are other features planned for Lakeland Fells but if you have your own ideas that you'd like to add, please don't hesitate to let us know. If we take them on, we'll add them to the wishlist.
