TrailView is being designed with the off road enthusiast in mind. Weather you ride an ATV, UTV, dirt bike or a 4x4 TrailView is for you. Using GPS technology already embedded in your smartphone or tablet TrailView will record your "tracks" and allow you to follow them back to where you came from. No more getting lost! The app will also allow the user to mark and label waypoints such as camp, parking or just fun spots to wheel. TrailView will also offer detailed individual maps of different trail systems, riding parks, state and national forest trails or just fun spots to off road as in-app purchases. Maps will be color coded to show difficulty and waypoints such as camp, parking, trailheads, hillclimbs, mud bogs, scenic views, gathering points etc etc will be clearly marked! Each map will work with NO INTERNET CONNECTION once purchased and downloaded. We all know the best trails are in the backwoods away from cell towers! We all use GPS to get to the trailhead, now let use it in The woods!
