Another advantage is that it works offline, which means that all you need to do is download the relevant map (also for free) to your application before you set off. After that you will no longer need an internet connection.
Once you register as a user on the mapy.cz server, all the routes you walk are saved and synchronised with your mobile phone and can be viewed offline.
Interface of the app can also be changed to English.
