trailmaps.app

Mountain biking maps that match the trail signs and official maps.

Built by your fellow riders.

A phone running trailmaps.app, held in front of a trailhead's printed map board, with the on-screen trails matching the colors on the sign

Built to use on the trail.

If you've used a phone map before, you've probably got this, but a few controls are worth pointing out:

Customize!

Open the Options menu to adjust labels, change the season, turn on or off difficulty indicators, direction arrows, trail markers, set light/dark mode, and more. (Available toggles vary by map.)

I know it's around here somewhere...

Use the Routes key to highlight a trail route with a single tap. Or hide it out of the way.

Tap Search in the key to go deeper to find the trail or route your friend told you about, parking, trailheads, a toilet, drinking water, or any other feature along the trail.

Curated, local, and styled like the trails.

Ever wish for a map in your pocket that clearly shows the trails; matching official maps and signs? That's trailmaps.app.

Each map here is built from a snapshot of OpenStreetMap and other public data, stacked with local expertise, and styled the way the mountain bike trail system is marked. Curated, built, and used by riders who know these trails.

Color-matched to signage

Trail paths are styled to match the routes and colors on signs and trail markers.

Direction arrows

One-way trails show riding direction arrows, automatically changing on alternating-direction systems.

Winter mode

A season toggle shows winter-only trails such as groomed fat-bike loops.

No account required

Anyone, including visitors from out of town, can use the map for free.

Private

No user tracking, no telemetry, no cookies. I don't watch you.

Curated and local

Maps are planned and reviewed by someone who knows the trail.

Static

Once a map is created it does not change until it is regenerated. For trail managers, no more surprise changes from crowdsourced data.

Progressive Web App

trailmaps.app maps can be installed like an app for easy access and works even when offline.
