Press Offline on a walk and its map stays on your phone until you remove it, for when the signal goes. Drift off the path and you get a quiet buzz.

The rules around Woking
In England you may walk on public rights of way, on open access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act, and in woodland the Forestry Commission opens to the public. We hold all three for Surrey, and a walk that leaves them is refused before you ever see it.
We have read the dog orders of every council in Surrey, and a walk here tells you when it crosses a place an order names.
We checked Surrey for military live-firing ground and hold 2 areas of it: Ash, Stoney Castle and Henley Park Ranges and Bisley and Pirbright Ranges. A walk is checked against them before we show it.
