I love the app. Very helpful. I realize you can’t put businesses on as waymarks but big physical things such as ski hills would be helpful.
Developer Response
Thanks for your review and for the great idea. While we consider how we may incorporate it, you may find it helpful to check out satellite view in the filters area of the Explore page from time to time. That can often reveal major landmarks like ski hills.
Best app for Bruce Trail
Leighssa
Offline maps are fantastic plus you always have the latest trail changes at your fingertips. It would be great if the search would include the locations that I saved rather than having to click on the map again (hard to visually find the exact spot again). Another bonus would be elevation maps of selected sections, as I had with apps for hiking camino routes in Europe.
Not perfect
notveryzenofyou
Hard to find designated camping spots (I don't know if it's possible as I haven't figured out how) and there is no option for users to mark points of interest like water on the trail and whether or not it is flowing- makes planning and preparation very difficult compared to trails on farout
Essential Hiking Equipment

Having the app is as useful as having shoes on your feet when hiking the trail. GPS location doesn’t require a cel signal and timely updates allow for optima planning.
Developer Response
Thanks for the review. We know how useful good footwear is on the trail so we're glad the Bruce Trail App is in that category for you!
In this update we’ve fixed bugs in the display of BTC Protected Natural Areas and off-road parking.
We continue to work on improvements, fixes and new features. Contact us at info@brucetrail.org to share your ideas or feedback.
