Excellent app. Way more of a game changer in the industry than fatbikes or boost or whatever stupid new standard we're told to buy....and it's free!

The single most innovative development in the past few years and its free! This might actually get more people on their bikes, whatever they ride, and solve another problem in NA, obesity.

This category of app is certainly a game changer. I've been using mtbproject for a couple years now. It has saved my ass a couple times, pointing the way back to my car as sunset neared.

Would love to see this app include a bikepacking filter with camp sites. That'd be rad.

That is an interesting idea, what would you filter exactly? You can add campsites now, and they will appear in the app. Campsites are added as a specific POI type.

Oh, didn't know that. I thought you could search for trails based on type.

As the President of SNMBA, it was great to sit with Brent and the team of Trailforks and Pinkbike just a few hours ago to discuss how this app can help our community as well as yours. This is going to be an extremely important tool in managing the trails out there and getting a true accurate map of your area as well as logistical data of how much the trails get ridden, when, frequency and if they are local or not (develop a visitor plan), so you can better manage of your trails. This is more than Strava, this is Google Maps for mountain bikers! I can't wait to implement this in our area. Thanks Trailforks! - Erik Montville, President, SNMBA

This app would be great if our local organization didn't ask to hide all the trails from the TrailForks map. Trailforks.com is great! UROC is great! And the app is great! But sadly, not for those of us in Cumberland.

If the builder does not want a trail on a map then one should respect the builder. My buddy bought a map from a Cumberland bike shop. He was not impressed. So I see your point.

It's obviously a lot more complicated than the builder, what with land use agreements and private timberlands. But, the local organizations are amazing so I am not complaining at them, just sad the app does nothing for me. There is some irony about being able to buy maps for Cumberland at all the local bikes shops, and being able to look at that map online, but not having the trails on TrailForks.

I just moved to Cumberland and I was a little surprised when none of the trails came up on the Trailforks app. I was hoping it would help me get familiar with the trails faster, but oh well. Hopefully something can be done at some point to change it.

Patience, change is coming. UROC is working their asses off so this can change. Trailforks respects the wishes of Trail Associations so they can better manage, cultivate and grow their relationship with Land Managers.

I HAVE BEEN PATIENT!

but seriously, I hope it has been abundantly clear that I have no problem with the issues and groups involved. Cumberland is an amazing place and the level of co-operation can be a model to other areas. I just want my maps...lol

It would be nice if they let Trailmapps do one for Cumberland. I really like their maps and the app that goes along with it.

Top of my screen is broke so can't access the menus as there's no auto rotate as standard.

The top of a map should be north, anything otherwise is confusing.

scruff0372 FL (Sep 18, 2015 at 4:22)

top would still be north but in landscape not portrait.

Is there any way other then strava to get trails posted?

brenthillier (Sep 18, 2015 at 0:06)

Absolutely! Just add a GPX, KML or KMZ. Or one of my go-to methods for desert trails is just tracing it off of Satellite view.
