Use GPS MBP map as you ride to track location

I don’t bike unfamiliar areas without MTP. I mount my iPhone on the handlebars of my mountain bike when I’m on new trails. I go to the maps section of MBP and get a real time GPS tracking of where I am on the trail. This helps when when I come to forks. I zoom out and figure which way to go. Plus when your miles back in the mountains, you can figure out your way back. When I come upon unexpected side trails, I stop to figure out where they go and if it’s worth the adventure to explore.

Love this feature.

App is almost perfect

I came over here after trail forks added their stupid paid subscription model and this app is wonderful. I think the UI is a little unintuitive and clunky though accessing trail info, favoriting, and contributing photos. I would really love to see this app grow and become the Strava for MTB with a social feed and more robust tracking. The trail information is awesome and if it was easier to report trail conditions I would be doing it more often too. Keep up the great work dev team!

Very helpful app

Very helpful, but I wish it were easier to add comments, pictures, etc. to trails. The descriptions are nice, and helpful, but comments from riders can add a lot of perspective and be more up-to-date on latest developments. Once or twice I’ve seen maps that aren’t accurate (trails have been added, for example), and can’t find a way to give that feedback.

As far as apps go though, very convenient and helpful in finding trails.

Want to use but can’t

Not seeing Vancouver island! This coming soon?

Really poor interface

Really bad interface.. was having issues route finding because the map wouldn’t let me move it around while it was recording. Not to mention, the recording feature is way off in stats. Doesn’t match up to the trail and for some reason won’t let me go back and review anything about it. I had high hopes because it seemed like an all trails for bikes, but turned out to be very disappointing of an app

Best MTB app

I love this app! It’s easy to use. The stats are always accurate. Driving directions are accurate. And love how I can rate and leave comments. And I also read others comments too! My favorite feature is the top rides in your area. Gives great ideas for rides. I even found some rides in my area I didn’t know about. Love it!

One thing I’d like to change is the check in feature. Most of the time right after a ride or the day of ride I don’t leave a rating and review. I like to come back and do that. Can the check in feature have a select a date feature and not just be for that day?

Great Mtb Bike app

Thanks for making it easy to find place to ride. This app is great for planning out where to ride next and to be prepared for elevation climb. I love the feature where you can drag you finger on the elevation chart and it shows you where it is on the trail map… very helpful. Thanks for all you work to make this app great. Blessed!

Beautiful looking app, but a pain for submitting new trails

I was super stoked when I first heard about this mapping app for mountain bike trails, so I made an account and began submitting all my favorite trails in my local riding area. For some reason, when you go to submit a trail, MTB Project wants you to add a bunch of information about the trail, including a super detailed description. This is kinda ridiculous if your are submitting a trail that you don’t the full details, like if dogs are allowed or not. Also, when I went to submit some of my trails, MTB Project rejected them because they “weren’t legal”, or “not visible on an official map”, or “is on private property”. This is SOOO maddening after filling in a bunch of info (as well as plotting GPS points on a map) and have someone dump your work in the trash! I believe there should be more freedom in choosing your trails to ride instead of heavily depending on “official maps”. If you want a trail map site that lets you plot trails anywhere, regardless of what type of land it’s on, I HIGHLY recommend switching Trailforks!

Charting the unknown and the Familiar

We have used MTB while traveling to other states to check out their trails. It has been an invaluable aide trying to find them and follow the different routes. MTB shows you exactly where you are so you know which direction to turn. Many times it has saved us from getting lost!

This app has the ability to grow!

When looking at what this app offers, I believe it has the ability to grow and become very popular!

Since it focuses on the community and not the money, I can tell you a lot of people should switch to this if you love to mountain bike. Apps that focus on helping the community are the ones that can lead to become very successful!

The more people that join this app, the better it will be!
