MountainViews offers various services for adventure walkers in Ireland. For example if you are thinking of going to a new area contributions and photos can be useful in telling you which are the most interesting places. Users shared tracks can suggest ways of visiting places. On average over the last few years (to 2015) around one place (hill, coastal feature or island) comment and one shared track have appeared daily so there's usually something to see.
The Home | Main Area Display has a zoomable, interactive map that provides information about summits and coastal features of Ireland and shared GPS tracks. A number of map and aerial photo layers are available.
The New section allows you to see what new contributions have come in. Also the current and former monthly newsletters.
The Tracks, Walks section allows you to view and search existing shared tracks. You can upload tracks for sharing here.
The Challenge section has a calendar for non-profit challenge walks in Ireland.
The "Lists & Logs" section allows you to view the many lists of summits that MountainViews offers. We maintain a list of everywhere you have climbed, or not climbed. You can export what you have climbed for personal backup. You can make settings such as whether you want to get the occasional email newsletter.
GPS information is available through the Export feature of tracks and lists. You might like also to participate in the project to revise summit positions by uploading corrected GPS readings for places you have been to. (The Improve Grid Reference link on the main area display page)
The Community section contains the messages service (more detail below) and reports that show what place lists members are climbing. It also has information about contributors, credits.
The More section contains information about Mountain Views, such as the Introduction, Guidelines like this one and Conditions of Use. You may find the Statistics section interesting, for example about relative numbers of hills logged. There are also resources with interesting articles and background.
Motley Views section contains a number of forums.
