Hikers recently rescued from an extremely challenging trail in B.C. had planned their trip using Google Maps, prompting a warning about the perils of relying on that platform in the backcountry.

        All trails is on my avoid list. Pushy, sales driven app. Buggy too. I seem to remember them beginning to try and get social as well. No thanks.

        That’s what equity firm ownership gets you.

        I’ll stick with comaps.

          I’m having second thoughts on Alltrails as well, I started getting very suspicious of them when they started getting rid of their general features but want their users to pay more money, for the same experience. I also noticed that too, with the bugginess. Now the miles most of time for me not being recorded properly. With setting up CoMaps, I really hope I can use it as an alternative.

        Not that quite detailed, just s basic OSM ones. I assume you could find a custom map and download that and run it off CoMaps.

        It kind of depends on which park you are at. I was at a local zoo and it had every exhibit and animal marked.
