No limit on opening it
Your crew can open the map as often as the job needs, every day of the season, without anybody watching a counter.
Maps and terrain
A map that comes with you
The base map is part of the product rather than something you bring. There is no monthly limit on how often your team opens it, and a whole network can be downloaded to a phone before anybody leaves the trailhead.
The base map
Included in the product, and downloadable
Most trail software asks you to bring a map account and then meters how often your team looks at it. This one is part of what you signed up for.
It comes offline with a download
Take a network with you and the base map is part of the package, alongside the trails, the photos and the work list.
See the appsThree looks, one download
A clean cartographic style, a muted one and a high-contrast one. All three draw from the same downloaded map, so switching between them costs nothing on the device.
Coverage follows your trails
The detailed map is built out around the ground your trails actually cross, so it is deepest where you work. Add a trail somewhere new and the map extends to meet it.
Nothing to set up
No separate mapping account to open, no key to paste in and nothing to renew. A new workspace has a working map on the day it is created.
The same map on your public pages
What your visitors see on your site is the map your crew works on, with your trails drawn in your colors.
Reading the ground
Terrain for the people laying out new trail
Generated from open elevation data over your own ground, on the dashboard map and in the field app.
Contour lines — on every plan
Drawn over your networks and available offline. Reading the shape of a hillside is not a premium feature; everything your crew does in the field is on the free plan.
Slope and aspect shading — Core and above
Where the ground is too steep to bench and which way it faces, shaded across the whole area, so a corridor can be judged before anybody walks it.
Hillshading — Core and above
Relief under the map, which is often the fastest way to see a bench line or a drainage that the contours only hint at.
Land boundaries — Core and above
Public land and property lines drawn over the map, from public agency services, so a proposed line can be checked against who owns the ground.
Streams and wetlands
Hydrology overlays for the crossings and the wet ground that decide where a trail can go.
Satellite imagery — Core and above, United States
Aerial photography under your trails, with the roads and labels still on top. The imagery is flown by the USDA over the lower 48, so it is available for US organizations only.
What is on which plan
Almost everything is on the free plan
The free plan is limited by size rather than by features. The exception is a short list of planning overlays — slope, aspect, hillshading, land boundaries and satellite imagery — which start on Core. They are tools for laying out new trail rather than things a crew needs to find a trailhead, and the pricing page says so in the same words.
