INFORMATION
Canua requires a GPS signal to navigate, record tours and calculate your current speed. Even if you let the recording (location recognition via GPS) run in the background during your tour, the battery of your iPhone will not be used to an above-average extent. Canua is an offer from ahoi~labs (TouchingCode Distribution GmbH). The canoe database is operated and provided by the German Canoe Association (DKV) based in Duisburg - www.kanu.de. More information is also available at www.canua.info.

Here, canua also relies on the map data created by the OpenStreetmap contributors: Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, whom we thank for providing geodata and for their great work. Details at http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright.
