Virtual Hiker is a Java program that allows a user to easily and interactively use map data to plan hikes or explore new areas (currently only in the United States).
Virtual Hiker comes in two parts: Virtual Hiker itself and VH Editor.
VH Editor is a bit more complex, but is also more flexible. VH Editor is primarily used to read raw USGS map data and convert it to a form that is easier to work with in Virtual Hiker. VH Editor also includes a small amount of map editing and analysis features (very small, but growing). VH Editor can do everything Virtual Hiker can, but adds additional features that may not be of use to some users.
