Parks & trails

A trail network visitors can follow

A trailhead board is only useful while you are standing at it. This puts the same network in the visitor pocket, with their own position on it, so the question stops being which way was the blue route and becomes which way am I facing.

Trails drawn as actual routes

Line-shaped categories mean a trail is its real path, not a start pin and an end pin. Visitors see where it goes before they commit to walking it.

Difficulty and surface up front

Length, surface and difficulty on every route means a visitor with a pushchair or a wheelchair can tell what is passable without walking it first.

Closures the same day

A washed-out path or a felled tree can come off the visitor map in under a minute from a phone in the field.

What you'd set up

You define your own categories and the fields each one carries. These are the ones venues like yours usually start with — nothing here is fixed, and you can change it later.

Bringing what you already have

Trail geometry is usually the thing you already have. Bring points in as CSV and draw the routes over satellite imagery — the drawing tool snaps as you go, so tracing an existing path is quick.

Questions we get

Will it work where there is no phone signal?
Once the map has loaded it keeps working, and GPS itself needs no signal — so position still updates out on the trail. Load the map at the trailhead where there is usually coverage. Full offline install is on the roadmap but not shipped yet, so this is worth testing on your own site before you rely on it.
Can it give turn-by-turn directions along a trail?
Not yet. Visitors see the full network and their own position on it, which covers most of the need, but computed routing over the path network is still on the roadmap.
Can we cover several sites?
Each site is its own venue with its own map, staff and URL. One person can be a member of several; they stay fully separate from each other.
