3.2.4 For recreational trekkers
Recreational trekkers are not used to reading maps. Indeed, they need prac-
tical information and easy-to-read maps even more than the other trekker
groups (cf. the recurrent use of the word “simple” in figure 2 ) . Finally,
they can use signposted footpaths, or bicycle paths.
Therefore, data selected for them is the following: pedestrian trails, bicycle
paths and as much practical information as possible. Pedestrian trails have
been symbolised like for pedestrian trekkers (cf. section 3.2.1.). This sym-
bolisation is perfectly adapted for recreational trekkers because of the link
created between the field and the map. The link makes the reading easier
and helps recreational users to orientate themselves.
