Hi Mark,

Thanks for your message.

I want to introduce myself here since we'll probably have more discussions with you and Plotaroute community in the near future.

My name is Arnaud and I'm the cofounder of https://www.visorando.com, a community website for creating and finding walk ideas (mainly). I began to developp this website 14 years ago as I love webdevelopping, outdoor sports and maps. With Fabien, my cofounder and the Visorando team (about 15 persons), we're proud of John's trust in our project for Plotaroute.

We are awared of what happened to Viewranger. It was really a big mess... Be ensured that Plotaroute won't disappear. 

We'll come back to you in the near future with some more informations about our projects. We first need a couple of weeks to get used with Plotaroute community, administration and technical tools. John spent this week with us in France and gave us a lot of informations. He'll continue to help us during this transitionnal period.

Arnaud

mmmmm, I want to be oh so positive ..... but Viewranger was aquired by Outdooractive (a German company, I think) and look what happened to that great application ....

We are excited to announce that Plotaroute has been acquired by Visorando, the leading website and app for hiking in France. The acquisition will support Visorando’s expansion within English speaking countries around the world, while bringing significant experience and skills to the Plotaroute platform to aid its ongoing development.

Fabien and Arnaud, the founders of Visorando said “This agreement was born from a shared desire. It will create strong synergies while preserving the power, complementary nature, and continuity of each of these two tools and their respective communities.”

John Piears, the founder of Plotaroute said “The Visorando team are passionate about what they do and share my own ambition to help people enjoy the great outdoors. Their experience and expertise will be invaluable in helping to bring even more benefits to Plotaroute users.”
