Read: How to use the route files in Google Maps, before you start using the route files.

These Wild Atlantic Way Google Maps are included with pictures and contact links of POI’s along the way in the associated route links.

Download them onto your phone or tablet below. You will need to have Google Maps installed on your phone. It should work fine with both Android and Apple phones.

The route link number corresponds with the route blog post number per County. The links automatically update as I update the content.

So download them just before you take your trip for the most up-to-date information (that I have available).

Points of interest on the routes are marked with coloured icons to indicate what they are. The icon legend and colour descriptions can be found in this link.
