User reviews

Great Tool! Love this app!

Where some very popular “trail tracking” software offers some real benefits, they fail to offer the outstanding ability that GPS Trail Map puts in the palm of your hand! That is the ability to make a gps map for any trail you might choose to hike.

I live in an area with many wonderful trails, none of which show up in the trail catalogs of some very popular apps. So I couldn’t be more pleased with the ability to easily make a gps map for any trail I hike!

Of course, I’ll be sure to tell friends and fellow hiking enthusiasts in my area about GPS Trail Maps. And they will benefit greatly from my efforts. Because I plan to create a new trail map each time I hike a different trail. Within a couple of seasons, with any luck, I should build a fairly complete catalog for my area of Downeast Maine.

I should, in all fairness, acknowledge that I did note a couple of very minor display bugs, which in no way interfered with the effectiveness of this awesome app. I reported them to the app developer, who expressed appreciation, and assured me they would be corrected with the next update. Couldn’t hope for better than that!

Lastly, let me say that the cost of using this app, which is completely free for your first 5 uses, is extremely reasonable after that.

Happy trails, fellow hikers!
