Get turn-by-turn directions for the most popular rides straight from Freeman’s famous printed maps. Welcome to the all-new Version 2.0! We've completely redesigned the app to be faster, cleaner, and more stable, so you can spend your time enjoying the ride, not making or sharing 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. What to expect in the app: Reworked Turn-by-Turn Guidance: We completely overhauled our most loved feature to give you the most reliable, seamless navigation experience yet. Smart Caching: Hit a dead zone? No problem. Our new smart caching keeps your route loaded and ready even when your cell signal drops. Free & Premium Rides: 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 with new rides in new places. Seamless Login: Getting started is faster than ever with new Apple and Google sign-in options. We’re thrilled to bring Freeman Maps to your phone in our best app version yet. Please note, we cannot always foresee detours and construction activity—so ride and drive safely, and please Look Twice.
