Trailspotting Map Packs

We're building a selection of map packs that are free for public use. Here's what we have so far:


Navigating with Trailspotting Map Packs

   Use Trailspotting Map Packs only with downloaded OpenStreetMap basemap.
Basemap provides terrain contours, trails, features and points of interest - essential for navigation or rerouting it you leave the trail.

   Downloaded OpenStreetMap basemaps work without cell service.
But they require a charged phone. Carry a backup battery and secure your phone with a lanyard to prevent damage. Follow standard safe hiking practices, including carrying paper maps and knowing how to read them.

   Download basemaps for all your travel areas.
As long as your phone has power, you can't get lost. Organic Maps can also act as a backup highway navigation tool when your primary app loses signal.

   OpenStreetMap is free and community-maintained.
Think of it as the Wikipedia of maps. Even the AllTrails app uses it as their default basemap. If you like OpenStreetMap, consider becoming a contributor.
