Now you can get turn-by-turn directions for the most popular rides from Freeman’s famous ride maps. This app is for riders that like to enjoy the ride, not spend their time making and sharing maps. And these are the authentic rides from Freeman’s famous printed maps. Randy Freeman has been creating specialty touring and trail maps from scratch since 1992. He does the homework so you don’t have to. Our maps show only the best named roads, ride loops, and stops possible. We’ve provided many of the most popular rides for you to use for free. Members can access our complete library which is continuously updated to add new rides in new places. We’re happy to be able to share Freeman Maps on our new app so you can use them on your phone. We hope you enjoy more rides using them. Please note, we cannot always foresee detours and construction activity – so ride and drive safely and please Look Twice.
