--- In-depth Reference Information ---
TrailSmart's ‘Trekopedia’ is packed with extensive reference information on each trail. Everything can be searched and filtered, viewed on a map, notes can be added (anything from a simple reservation number to a copy-and-pasted blurb from a website), and more.

--- Interactive Offline Maps ---
Powerful, flexible maps that display your current location on your route along with pins showing all the locations included in the Trekopedia (just touch a pin to open its related Trekopedia entry). Filter and do searches. Detailed, high-quality offline maps are also available via in-app purchase, so you have full access to maps even without an Internet connection. When you do have an Internet connection, great online maps are also available.

--- Intelligent Compass ---
Just follow the yellow arrow! TrailSmart's intelligent compass points you in the right direction based on your current location and your selected route, and updates dynamically as you move. It takes into consideration all the twists and turns in your route and can even point you back in the right direction when off-route exploring towns. Never get lost again!

--- Pre-Departure Planning & Preparation ---
TrailSmart makes it easy to plan your route (including configuring the sections you want to follow), organize it into stages, and review distances and elevations (including a handy interactive Elevation Profile Chart). Comes pre-defined with popular routes (full and partial) plus you can create your own or edit ours. Review and rank hotels / guesthouses, flag locations of interest, add your own notes, and more.

--- Up-To-Date Content ---
TrailSmart's content is regularly updated and expanded based on the latest information available to us. You can check for content updates (including entirely new trail datasets) directly inside TrailSmart and download content whenever it is convenient for you (even on the trail), without having to connect to the App Store. Always be up-to-date!

--- No Internet Connection Required ---
All of TrailSmart's content is stored directly on your phone, including our detailed offline maps (once initially downloaded). No Internet connection is required!

Fantastic!!!!!!

I used this app when hiking the Lycian Way. It was absolutely invaluable and I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone. The map feature kept us on track (or got us out of trouble when lost). There is detailed information on the specific details of different sections was useful for both planning and also while hiking. Info such as places of interest, markets, and the location of wells and water sources was precise and almost always up to date (despite wells drying us and changes in track conditions these were almost always listed/updated). TrailSmart made the trek more enjoyable (we got more out of it with insider tips and tricks) and less stressful (knowing where wells were located or markets to pick up food). I would highly recommend and will use for all future hiking endeavours.

Developer Response ,

Much appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to post a review. I'm glad to hear that TrailSmart was helpful on your walk. We're working on more trails now to include in TrailSmart, so hopefully we'll have coverage of your next long-distance trail too!

Fantastic resource for Lycian way

This is a great app for hiking the Lycian Way. In our group of 3 we all installed and used the app extensively. Relying on the markers on the trail would have been quite frustrating, especially in the first part. Having the GPS allow us to have some comfort we were on the trail or help us get back on!
Then there were all the additional bits- like gradients, distance travelled, accommodation on track- all helpful as you don’t want to be carrying paper.
If hikers can provide updates then the app becomes even more useful.
Well done to the developers.

Fabulous app and awesome developers..

I can’t speak highly enough about these guys. They are simply spectacular people with hearts of gold who love walking/hiking and want to make the experience better for others.
They are super responsive to enquires and welcome any constructive feedback.
We were walking a trail they had not fully prepared but they expedited it so it was functional for our use.
If you are wondering about this app ... !
Don’t wonder, download it and buy relevant off line maps if you need them. :)
