You can also sync the app to a wearable device and connect with friends and other walkers to stay motivated. It is best for urban walks rather than backcountry hiking but is a worthy addition to your bank of apps.
I had never used Maps. I had downloaded the route using my standard collection of hiking apps and was feeling pretty confident before we set off. Instead, it was a fellow hiker using Maps. As such, once back online, I promptly downloaded Maps. The maps are rudimentary for hiking and you have to upload your own GPX routes, but it never fails to locate or provide the essentials such as the nearest footpaths, points of interest and altitude.

All Trails is such a great resource for anyone who loves to hike! I use the app for all my hiking!

Overall, I absolutely love All Trails and use the app daily! I recommend it to anyone and fully support what they are doing! Keep up the great work, All Trails! A couple years back I took on an ambitious 13 mile day hike by myself on beautiful sunny day in the Colorado Rockies. While I was familiar with the area, I had never done this specific route before. I had made it over the mountain pass and was making my way down the other side back down to treeline to discover the trail had been washed out.
I got completely turned around and had no idea which way led back up to where I came from and I had zero cell service. After a brief moment of panic, I remembered I had AllTrails was running so I pulled out my phone and slowly but surely followed the little blue dot as I moved through the woods. After about 15 minutes, I heard voices and saw people walking above me.
I had found the trail! I bushwacked up, took a deep breath and continued on my way. Thanks to AllTrails, I manage to right my path and get back to where I need to be.
