We're glad to announce the release of a much requested feature for the
Android App: the Search Pack, the search service for Android to
explore trails in wikiloc.com right from your Android. Discover trails
near your location sorted by proximity or near your next destination.
The Search Pack includes filters by activity, distance, elevation,
difficulty and choices like “only loop trails”. You can also search by
keyword, trail ID or your favorite trails.

If you already have Wikiloc App on your Android, you must upgrade to
the latest version (2.0) or get it from Google Play. Then you can get
a Search Pack from http://www.wikiloc.com/mobile/android.do
or directly from the App.

We initially thought to offer the Search Pack for a limited time, say
1 month, 6 months or one year renewable. After consulting with several
of you, we realized that if you buy the pack for a month and then for
whatever reason (period of bad weather, personal problems, etc. ..)
you can’t use it during that time you would have to pay again for
renewing it, even without having used it. We agreed it'd be best to
offer the service without a time limit and just pay for use. You'll
have free access to search trails until you've reached the limit of
downloads, each pack includes 100 trail downloads.

Also, since attaching the Search Pack to a single smartphone was not
convenient the Search Pack is associated with your user account at
Wikiloc.com, so you can search and download trails from your
smartphone or a friend's phone by just signing in to your account.

You can download trails from the web and transfer them to your
Android, but we hope you'll find the Search Pack convenient and decide
it's worth paying a few euros for it to discover and download trails
in a simpler way and helping us out a bit so we can continue to
improve Wikiloc.

We know it's taken quite some time, so thanks for your patience and support.

Hope you like it!

A couple of questions, and my apologies if I have missed others having asked already.

1. Is there really a 100 trail limit? When downloading and paying for the search pack there is no mention of a limit, and no mention either on the Play Store.

2. When searching, getting a list of trails and then downloading one, it would be much better if I could go back to my list and look for another trail to download instead of having to re-enter some (not all!) of my filter options and redo the search.

Thanks for any assistance...

This limit of 100 downloads was in the old search packs, not what is being sold today.
Today there is only a monthly limit to detect abuses.


I think if you tap on "download and follow" and go back without following the trail you can do this.
This happens because the download and follow function doesn't redirect you to the saved trails list.

Regards.

Thank-you!

Hmmm. I don't see the same behaviour you describe. From the results of a search, if I tap on download and then go back, it directs me to the home page. If I tap on 'download and follow' and then go back, it directs me to my list of saved trails, not the search results.
