This site is the support site for the app ‘Repton Walk’. This app takes the visitor on a guided walk around Sheringham Park, Norfolk UK, showing the work of the Eighteenth Century landscape designer Humphry Repton.
The app has been made in support of the ‘Humphrey Repton at Sheringham Park’ exhibition which runs for a year from summer 2012 to summer 2013.

LOCATION MARKER
If you are at Sheringham Park, have your GPS turned on and can get sufficient GPS connedtion this will show your location on the map.
Your position on the map will be recalculated every ten seconds, but you can also use the GPS button to manually update your position on the map
TROUBLESHOOTING GPS
Even though there GPS coverage across the park the service can be weak. For this reason it might take a while to initially triangulate your position. Once this has happened your location should be consistently marked when you are within the map area.
IF YOU ARE NOT AT SHERINGHAM PARK
The app will work as above but the Location marker will not show.
You will still be able to learn about Humphry Repton and his design for Sheringham Park.
You will also be asked if you would like directions to Sheringham Park.
