An off-road riding map for iPhone. Forest Service roads and trails with the dates each one is open for your vehicle, BLM routes, parcel lines and public land, and your own rides recorded and kept on your phone. All in one app.
Northern California first. iPhone now, Android later.
Tap a road or trail and see its number, forest, status and the dates it is open for each vehicle: ATV, motorcycle, 4WD over 50 inches, high clearance and passenger car. That comes straight from the Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Maps.
Tap a parcel for its APN, address, acres, zoning and the date the county data is from. Tap public land to see who manages it, and an OHV area for its designation. Drop a POI right there if you want to come back.
Every layer has its own switch, and every source is credited on the map.
Pick your vehicle (4x4, side-by-side, ATV, dirt bike, snowmobile, mountain bike or hiking), the width (single track, under 50 inches, full width), the difficulty, and hide what is closed. Where the data has no flag, the card says the answer is a guess instead of pretending.
One box finds roads and trails by name or number, National Forests and BLM units, OHV areas, towns and places, and your own rides, routes and POIs. Nearby results come first.
Record a ride with distance, speed, moving time and max speed on a glove-sized strip. Drop waypoints as you go, and POIs with notes and photos. Sort rides into folders, give them colours, write notes on them, and share a GPX by text or email. Bring tracks in from other apps with GPX or KML import.
Everything you record is private by default and lives on your phone. No accounts, no public heatmap of everyone's rides. Your single track stays off the radar.
Pick a saved ride and go Back to start or To the end. A dial points to the track relative to the way you are facing, with the distance, the next waypoint, and a warning when you drift off the line.
Tap to drop points and see each leg's length and bearing. Measure a distance, or draw an area and read its acres. Save routes and shapes to your folders and export them as GPX.
Live layers for active wildfires, smoke forecast, precipitation radar, fire history, wilderness areas, recreation sites and snow depth, each with the time it was last updated. Evacuation zones from CAL FIRE and Butte County, coloured by status. A weather sheet for wherever the map is, with National Weather Service alerts first.
A lot of good riding has no coverage. Frame an area on the map, pick the detail, choose topo, satellite and the trail data, see the size, and download it before you go. Downloads wait for Wi-Fi unless you say otherwise, and you can pause, resume or delete them.
Northern California first. That is where I ride and where the app gets proven, with parcel lines for Butte, Nevada and Shasta counties to start. The Forest Service, BLM, OpenStreetMap and public land data is already built for the whole country, so the rest follows.
I ride Northern California dirt. Too often I didn't know if a road was open to what I was riding, or whose land I was standing on. The answers were spread across different apps and a paper map. So I'm building one app that shows both, works where there's no signal, and keeps my tracks mine.
