## What is Trail Treker?

Trail Treker is a map viewing tool for use with the Trail Treker map publishing service. Trail Treker works with clubs, tourism agencies and municipalities to make their maps work offline on end user smartphones. Once the map is loaded, you no longer need phone service; the GPS receiver in your phone will operate without phone service. In fact, we recommend that you place your phone in Airplane Mode if you are in an area with limited or partial phone service to conserve your battery.
Trail Treker will also electronically, via GPS location, show local businesses and points of interest. You can store your own points of interest as well. Key points such as survival shelters, supplies, or emergency evacuation points may be shown on various maps.

The Trail Treker app will allow you to download any member map. If you have a member map code, the map will be free. If not, the map will be an additional purchase.

Continued use of GPS in the background can decrease battery life.

FEATURES:
Show Trail map overlaid on various Google maps (Standard Street, Terrain, Satellite)
Show your position on top of any map.

Record notes regarding position points

### 3/5 — CarPlay…?

*2026-05-24*

The only thing this app is missing is the ability to hook it up to CarPlay. Nothing is more annoying than having to pull my phone out to confirm a route vs just looking at the screen in the utv. This is the only feature big name map apps have over trail Treker

### 5/5 — Pretty handy

*2021-02-07*

Spend a few minutes with the app before you get out on the trail. It actually does a pretty nice job but it’s helpful to understand how to get around in it when you’re sitting by the fire at home rather than at arctic temperatures lost on a Trail somewhere.

### 5/5 — Great App for Snowmobile Clubs

*2020-02-22*

Really great app for snowmobile trails. The company also does an amazing job supporting snowmobile clubs.

### 3/5 — More snowmobile maps please in Wisconsin

*2019-02-01*

It is a great thing, but needs more maps.

**Developer response:** We are always trying to get more maps in Wisconsin, but the state does not control the mapping like neighboring states. Please contact the local clubs and ask them to load their maps with TT--Thank you!

### 1/5 — Where’s my map?

*2018-12-16*

I downloaded and paid for an app and a few months later it’s gone!?

**Developer response:** We are sorry for the inconvenience, but the map is still available. You simply need to download it again. Please contact support@trailtreker.com if you need more help!

### 2/5 — Does what is says but expensive

*2018-02-06*

Better apps out there for much cheaper. This one does not have much for Wisconsin. Get the app maplets instead they do not charge for each map.

### 5/5 — Good app, excellent support

*2017-02-25*

I did not have cell coverage along rt 24 and Trailtreker did a good job keeping me "on track".
Few times the app was getting incorrect GPS positions. I emailed Trailtreker support and they fixed the issue quickly.
