We build adventure maps made for human-powered recreation. Discover, plan, navigate, and track your route through the outdoors with 3D maps on your phone. Take your customized plan offline by downloading your map before you hit the trail.
3D Mapping
We adventure in three dimensions, your planning should reflect that. With a 3D map you can visualize terrain, scout lines, and plan for hazards before you hit the trail. Whether you’re backcountry skiing, splitboarding, nordic skiing, mountain biking, hiking, trail running, or another human-powered sport, our 3D maps will give you the best picture of the landscape before you even set foot on it.
“3D Maps allow you to scout terrain and very easily see features that could be interesting or problematic, saving you time both in the scouting process and out in the field.” –Professional Skier Griffin Post
Offline Maps
Trustworthy doesn’t even scratch the surface—offline is what we’re made for. Adventure maps made for life beyond cell phone coverage. When you download your Offline Maps to your phone all of the markups you've made for any selected area will be included. Save maps in a 5-, 10-, or 150-mile increments. When you've turned on your Offline Map, the GPS in your phone will connect to satellites to give your real-time location—even when cell signal is long behind you.
