Trekarta - offline outdoor map

Detailed offline topo maps for hiking, cycling, skiing and other activities

Features & Capabilities

Trekarta is designed for hiking, geocaching, off-roading, cycling, boating and all other outdoor activities. It uses offline maps so you do not need to have internet connection. You can easily import places and tracks from GPX and KML data formats or create places in application and share them to others. It lets you write the track of your journey, even in background, so you will never get lost and be able later see where you've been.


Offline maps

Trekarta uses OpenStreetMap based vector maps that are lightweight, offline and are constantly enhanced by contributors. Maps contain detailed topological data with elevation contours. Some map elements can be filtered out for cleaner look. Trekarta has built-in hillshades support. You can add custom maps in sqlite or mbtiles format to cover your area of interest. Custom maps will be shaded as well. Such maps can be created by yourself with SAS.Planet application from mostly any online source or converted with MapTiler and other applications from other map formats.


Hiking

Special hiking activity mode emphasises paths and tracks on map. It visualizes path difficulty and visibility and displays hiking routes. It also displays special OSMC symbols that help you identify desired route.


Cycling

Cycling activity mode reveals bicycle infrastructure. It shows cycling routes and visualizes mountain biking track difficulty and visibility.


Skiing and skating

Skiing activity mode displays clean winter map with mostly all skiing activities: downhill, nordic, hiking and touring. As a bonus freestyle snow-boarding, skating and sleighing areas are displayed.


Off-road

Unpaved, dirt, winter and ice roads are specially visualized. 4wd only roads have specific marking. Fords are displayed on all roads, even primary.


Places

Places can be easily imported from GPX and KML files or can be created within application. You can navigate to places and share them with others.


Tracks

Trekarta is designed to record tracks of your journey. Simply press a button when you start and press it once more when you finish. You can quit the application if you do not need to look at the map, the track will be recorded in the background.

If you wish to "export" your track to another preferred folder, you have to "share" the track. It takes 20 minutes to to figure out that the word "share" is what you want. But you don't "share" it with your preferred folder, you share it with your preferred app. So you share it to Trekarta and are told, "the file is shared in the app' s "application folder". This takes an hour to find. Then you can copy your track file to your preferred folder. Why not just have an EXPORT function!

Nice app, but it looks like the map tiles haven't been updated since last May.
