Map Locator Hard-to-Find Addresses Our Specialty When trying to locate specific apartments or other hard-to-find addresses, Google (or other) Maps just gets you to a general location - we go from there to provide vetted and detailed driver information to include the property's address, phone number, website, and site-layout map(s) - details which in the past have been "hard to find" in one place. Drivers using the Hard To Find Maps app, with its easily searchable database, report that minutes are almost always saved because of the quality of our amended maps – these images display any appropriate hints, a "North" indicator, and also show nearby surrounding street(s). This app could serve as a prototype for other metroplexes; this original version provides information only for service/delivery/gig drivers in the Dallas Fort Worth TX Metroplex area, including the nearby suburbs Addison, Allen, Arlington, Aubrey, Bedford, Carrollton, Coppell, Corinth, Denton, Euless, Flower Mound, Frisco, Garland, Grand Prairie, Grapevine, Hickory Creek, Hurst, Irving, Lake Dallas, Lewisville, Little Elm, Mesquite, McKinney, North Richland Hills, Northlake, Plano, Prosper, Richardson, Roanoke, and The Colony - expansion of our coverage area is an ongoing process.

COMMUNITY LIBRARY Browse thousands of trails and overlanding roads contributed by the Adventure Collective and the open-data community. Filter by region, search by name, or let the app find routes near you. Download any route to your library with a single tap. SHARE WHAT YOU FIND Publish your recorded tracks to the community so others can follow in your footsteps. Open-source, open-access, community-first. Free forever. No ads. No subscriptions. No account required. Built with deep gratitude to OpenStreetMap contributors, the Leaflet project, and every surveyor and trailblazer who mapped the wild places before us.
