New, and free: Get me out, on the map's right side and in CarPlay, lists the ways out from where you are, closest first, each with its distance and time: back the way you came, back to your last signal, your nearest waypoints, the nearest main road and highway, and Home, once you set it in Settings. Tap one and Huck leads you there. Pick a road or spot finds a road by name or number, like US 95, or takes a tap on the map. It all works with no service. Before you head out, update your downloaded map areas: a region downloaded before October 15, 2026 may have no highway data for Get me out until you do. In the Idaho Panhandle, Get me out and Take me there now go over trails as well as roads. Get me out asks once how you're traveling — on foot, by horse or bike, or by motorcycle, ATV, side-by-side or truck — and checks each way against the Forest Service's motor vehicle use maps, Idaho Parks & Recreation's trail designations, and the seasons and closures on the map. At each turn it names the trail and its number. With a restricted plate on a motorcycle, ATV or side-by-side, a way out can use county and city roads; it says how much, and to check local rules. New trail colors show who may use a trail, quietest first: green for hiking and horses, blue adds bikes, red adds motorcycles, and orange adds ATVs. Pink marks snowmobile trails, and gray means no uses are published. New in Settings, and free: Map colors, with Standard and Color-blind. Color-blind, designed with color-vision simulation, uses fewer colors set apart by lightness, and draws routes open to motor vehicles with a light center between dark edges. The legend draws each line the way the map does, and "Colors hard to tell apart?" opens Map colors. Filters, Type now fades the other kinds of route: choose High-clearance and only high-clearance roads stay at full strength. A selected trail keeps its own colors inside a violet halo. Start trail now has separate choices for an ATV, a side-by-side 50 inches and under, and a 4WD side-by-side over 50 inches, each checked against the Forest Service's motor vehicle use map, on the phone and in CarPlay. Trail cards, and the MVUM layer with Huck+, say which vehicle classes include side-by-sides. More cards say when a vehicle may not use all of a trail. If Huck is closed mid-ride, the recording comes back with its miles and line, and Finish on a started trail no longer deletes it. Record says when Precise Location is off. With no service, Huck makes no App Store call at all: Huck+ says you're offline instead of showing an error, and stays on for up to a week if your subscription renews while you're out of service. Huck+ features show a purple lock when you don't have Huck+, and tapping one opens Huck+. On a weak signal, forecasts, wildfire and avalanche danger give up within 30 seconds instead of hanging, and with no service a forecast says you're offline. If the wildfire feed sends an error, Huck keeps the last fires it had. Fire restrictions say when they were last checked, and give no all-clear after a failed update or on last season's data. A failed map download says what happened and what to do. One that loses signal stops by itself after about three minutes with Huck open, and Pause stops one where it is; either way it picks up where it left off. Turn-by-turn says "Turn around" after a wrong turn instead of repeating "Rerouting". In CarPlay, the map turns with your car from about 10 mph, and the arrow follows the direction you're driving from about 5 mph. Our privacy policy is updated: Huck now keeps the last 24 hours of where it has seen you, on your phone, so Get me out can lead you back the way you came; Settings → Remember my path turns it off and clears it.

Avalanche danger, free: turn on the layer to see every avalanche zone that touches Idaho, colored by its danger rating, with the center's travel advice and a link to the full forecast. The centers start rating for the season in late November; until then most zones say there's no current forecast. With Huck+, snow depth: SNOTEL stations on the map with the latest reading and the week before it, and a high trail's card names the nearest station. Hunting, with Huck+: hunt cards now list landowner permission and Landowner Appreciation Program hunts, so an X area no longer says no hunt is listed. Draw odds and harvest always belong to the hunt they're shown on, even after Fish and Game renumbers it, and adult turkey hunts no longer say Youth. Pan the map and the hunt chip names the draws at the middle of the map and which hunt is open, or opens next. A No motors filter shows only the trails for hiking, horses and bikes. A legend now explains every color on the map for the layers you have on. More trail cards say which vehicles may ride them and when, and routes Idaho Parks & Recreation gives a special designation say so, in its own words. Trail time estimates now follow the climb in the direction you're going. A trail that crosses a region line is one trail, so a heart on one shows on both. Trail names draw in every region you download, the miles ahead stay steady as you zoom, the map no longer stutters while you follow a trail, and a download cut short by closing the app comes back paused, ready to resume, instead of leaving a region half-installed. Our privacy policy is updated: with the Avalanche danger layer on, Huck fetches the danger map from avalanche.org, and snow depth readings come from our own server. gohuck.app/privacy

With Huck+, a forecast you ask for now sends the Weather Service the spot to about 35 feet, instead of rounding it to about two-thirds of a mile. The Weather Service forecasts for squares about 1.5 miles across, and in the mountains a rounded spot could land in the next square over, at another elevation. From the hunt-unit chip, the spot is where you stand. Our privacy policy has been updated: a forecast goes out only when you ask for one, to about 35 feet; the Documents viewer loads nothing from the internet; and our server no longer writes down what a shared link carries, like a waypoint's name and position. gohuck.app/privacy

A trail's card now carries what Idaho Parks & Recreation says about the route, in its own words: a stretch over private ground where public access is not assured, an e-bike class limit, a gate, the travel plan a rule comes from. A note on part of a trail says how much of it, like "On 0.8 of 1.1 mi", or says where it applies, and the links it supplies sit underneath. They need a connection, and say so when there is none. It is all free. If a region you downloaded shows no notes, update it in Downloads. A closure or area restriction can now carry the agency's second link, beside Order and named by its website. Both links grey out with no signal; the phone number still works. The weather on the hunt seasons sheet waits until you ask. Opening a spot's seasons used to fetch its forecast by itself, and from the hunt-unit chip that spot is where you stand. Now a forecast saved nearby still shows, and a new one is fetched only when you tap for it, with the spot rounded to about a kilometer. The Documents viewer shows only the file you added. A link inside a document opens in your browser, and nothing online loads inside Huck. An exported GPX or KML file is named after its track. It is deleted from your phone once the share sheet closes, and deleting a track deletes its export too. Our privacy policy has been updated, and says what the app sends and to whom: gohuck.app/privacy Fresh statewide data: trails, roads, closures, area restrictions, hunt boundaries and points of interest, rebuilt this week.

The closure layer is free. Switch on Closures & restrictions, first in Map layers, and the closures and area restrictions are drawn across the map at once, for planning before you go. Tap one for the order, its dates, the district and a phone number where the agency lists one. It used to come with Huck+. Trail season dates are free too. A seasonal trail's card shows when each season opens and closes, and whether it is open now. Where there are no dates, it says who to check with. Campgrounds, fire lookouts, guard stations and rental cabins are on the map, with Huck+: Forest Service sites in Idaho, and BLM's developed campgrounds and cabins. Tap one for the fee, water, toilets and season as the agency lists them, and a button to check dates on Recreation.gov where it lists the place. Take me there routes the drive in. Search finds places. Up to five come up above the trails as you type; pick one and the map flies there with its card open. Or tap a chip under Find (Fire lookouts, Cabins, Campgrounds, Trailheads, OHV areas) to see only that kind around you, with a list nearest first. Fire lookouts are the towers themselves; guard stations and rental cabins are under Cabins. Trailheads, info sites and OHV areas are free; campgrounds, lookouts and cabins come with Huck+. Wildlife management areas, with Huck+: the ground Idaho Fish and Game manages for wildlife, outlined and named on the map, with its own switch in Map layers. Boundaries and names, not each area's rules. A strip of the map no longer goes blank. After a zoom or a camera move, one band across it could lose its land, trails and roads while the labels kept drawing. The map renderer inside Huck now carries the fix. Saved trails open the right trail. Some trail numbers are used in two regions, and a favorite, a recent or a route could open the other region's trail. Favorites, recents, routes and trip plans saved from now on remember their region, and everything you saved before this update is still there. A trip plan's link names the trail it was made for, not another region's trail with the same number, and its preview shows that trail's own picture. Fresh statewide data: trails, roads, closures, fire restrictions, hunt boundaries and points of interest, rebuilt this week.

An updated region draws again straight away. Downloading new data for a region used to leave the map with no trail or road lines at all — the land, the hillshade, the trail markers and the search all still there, the lines gone — until you quit Huck and opened it again. The map server inside the app was still reading the pack files it had open, which the download had just replaced underneath it. It lets go of them now. The lines blink once while the new tiles load, and then they are there. The statewide layers update over the air. Land ownership, pack coverage and the motor-vehicle layers — including the route database that answers which forest roads are open to which vehicles — now arrive on their own, so a corrected road designation reaches your phone without waiting for an app update. Map areas carries a row called Statewide map layers, and a badge when there is something new. About 24 MB for the set, over Wi-Fi unless you say otherwise. Huck checks those four files before it trusts them. Each has to match the SHA-256 hash published with it, and then open and answer a query, or it is refused and the copy already on your phone is kept. Fresh statewide data: trails, roads, closures, fire restrictions, hunt boundaries and points of interest, rebuilt this week.

Slope-angle bands, for Huck+. The map now shades terrain by steepness in five bands, from 27 degrees to 50 and above, on the thresholds avalanche forecasters use. It is computed in true ground metres rather than on the flattened map, so 35 degrees means 35 degrees. Offline, like everything else. Starting a trail asks how you are travelling. Hike, snowshoe, ski, horse, bike, ATV, moto, 4x4 or snowmobile. The time estimate, whether you see pace or speed, whether the MVUM opens that road to you, and what your trip plan tells the person waiting at home all follow from the answer. It never blocks: a mode is already chosen, and Start is one tap away. Aspect shading reads true steepness now. The wash that deepens as ground gets steeper was measuring that steepness on a flattened map, which understates it badly this far north. Rebuilt for the whole state. Fresh statewide data: trails, roads, closures, fire restrictions, hunt boundaries and points of interest, rebuilt this week.

Bug fixes "Take me there" avoids closed roads and trails now

Send a plan from the trail you are looking at. Every trail, route and waypoint card now has a Send plan button. It sends the same card you get when you share a trail, with a message written for the person receiving it: where you are going, when to expect you back, and what to do if they have not heard from you — call the county sheriff for that area, who runs search and rescue in Idaho. Tools shows the plan you have out, so you can check in or send a fresh one. A waypoint now carries a link. Share a pin and the other person gets a page with the coordinates and buttons for Apple Maps and Google Maps. If they have Huck, the link opens the pin in it. Which way is that ridge. Tap the compass button on any waypoint and the ribbon shows its bearing and distance, with a sight line pointing at it. Answers the question hunters ask out loud. A tape measure. Tools has Measure: tap points on the map for a running distance, close the shape for acres or square miles. Trail names on the map. At the zoom where trails are markers, their names now sit beside them, thinning out as they collide, so you can read a valley without tapping every dot. No motors. The filters have a No motors chip that hides every trail open to any motor vehicle. And where the Forest Service's trail tags disagree with its own motor vehicle use map, the map now wins — it is the one a ranger enforces. Your pins and tracks, out and in. Share all your waypoints as one GPX or KML file, share a recorded track as either, and open a GPX from another app to see it on your map. The hunt scope tidies up after itself. Turning it off now turns off both hunt layers, instead of leaving them on the map for you to find. Fresh statewide data, rebuilt this month: trails, roads, closures, fire restrictions, hunt boundaries and points of interest.

How high you are. Your elevation now reads on the map, taken from the same fix that already draws your position — no new permission, no extra battery. It says "approx" when the GPS is unsure of vertical, and shows nothing at all when the reading cannot be trusted. A confident wrong number on a ridge is worse than no number. Trail profiles read in the direction you are actually walking. Climb and descent depend on which way you go, and the card used to pick one and present it as fact. It now says which way it is reading — SW to NE — starts from the end you are standing at, and flips if you tap it. Walk the other way and it turns around with you. Turn back, and the numbers turn back too. Bail at mile 4 of 6 and "to go" used to grow as you walked out, still counting a plan you had abandoned. It now reads "back out": the distance to where the trail meets the road again. Finishing tells you how far you actually got — "You made it 4.2 of 6.1 mi in" — and gates nothing. A bail is an outing too. CarPlay at night. The car map was permanently light; it now follows the appearance you set on the phone. The stats pill says what is ahead — "2.3 left" on the way out, "1.8 back" once you have turned around — and the car's Finish is as honest as the one on the phone. Fixes. The map could paint only part of the screen after the phone had been asleep, leaving a blank strip that stayed until you relaunched. Fire restrictions grew past the top of the screen once much of Idaho went to Stage I, taking the close button with them. And the controls could come up dark over a light map after a drive with CarPlay. Fresh statewide data, rebuilt this month: trails, roads, closures, fire restrictions and points of interest.

CarPlay. Huck is on the dashboard: your offline map, your position, your downloaded regions, no signal needed. Legal to ride. The Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Map, on your offline map: pick your machine — car, high-clearance, ATV, moto, or 4WD — and every route legally open to it turns green. Solid green is yearlong; dashed is seasonal, and the dates are the legal season, not the snow. Part of Huck+. Weather alerts, live on the map. Active National Weather Service alerts for Idaho draw where they apply, with a badge you can tap. The card leads with what you should actually do, and every reading shows how old it is. Alerts disappear on their own the moment they lapse. The shading can be switched off in Settings — and when it is off, an amber pill under the search bar still tells you a warning is in force. Wildfire. Mapped fire perimeters and newly reported starts, straight from the national feed. Tap a fire for its name, its size, when it was found, and how old our copy of the data is. Statewide fire restrictions are in there too, with what each stage actually prohibits. Sun, moon and shooting light. First light, last light, sunrise, sunset and a "dark in 2 h 40 m" countdown, for any date, computed on the phone with no signal. Huck+ adds legal shooting light, moonrise and moonset, and solunar feeding windows. Before you go. One screen for what you need and what is in force: the fire stage where you are standing, the permits for what you are doing, and the agency rules behind them. The half that matters works with no signal. A pocket for your paper. Tags, permits, the outfitter's hand-drawn map: bring them into Huck from Files and open them offline, right next to the map. Stored on your phone, never uploaded anywhere. Part of Huck+. The numbers from your day. Finished tracks now show moving time versus stopped, best sustained speed, descent, high point, and grade. The track, distance, climb and pace stay free, as they always were. How long it takes, for what you are doing. Time estimates follow whether you are walking, riding, or driving — tap the estimate to change it. An 87-mile forest highway is no longer quoted as a 29-hour hike. Filters that fit your machine. Filter by type — trail, road, primitive — and by length, alongside use, difficulty and surface. The whole filter sheet fits one screen. A map you can read. Highway shields sit on top of the roads instead of under them, they are bigger, and Idaho state routes now wear the shape of Idaho. Road names are upright and bold instead of small italics. Dark mode was rebuilt from the ground up. Huck opens on Idaho rather than a white rectangle. Sharing a trail. Send someone a trail and the link previews with the trail's name, and opens straight into Huck instead of the browser. And Huck now takes about 117 MB less room on your phone — the maps that ship inside the app are read in place instead of being copied. Also fixed: an app left in the background could be shut down by iOS and look like a crash; tapping a trail with several regions downloaded could open a different trail elsewhere in the state; turn-by-turn only worked inside one of your downloaded regions; searching more than one word came back empty when we had the answer; opening a search result cleared the box; the map could stay dark after using CarPlay with the appearance set to Light; the off-trail banner reported metres in an app that speaks feet; and a trail card with a closure on it could cover the trail it was describing.

Trip plan — free. Tell someone where you're going and when you'll be back. Huck writes the message: the place, your return time, coordinates search and rescue can actually use, and when to start worrying. Send it while you still have bars. Huck then holds a reminder for your return time that fires with no signal at all, and finishing a trail checks you in automatically. Points of interest — free. 576 trailheads, information sites and OHV areas from the state's own inventory, with names and descriptions. They cluster, so a count tells you what's over the ridge, and one tap opens it up. New trailheads arrive over the air, without an app update. Cell coverage (Huck+). Where your carrier reports service — Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile, one at a time — with the edge of voice drawn as a line, because that edge is what you plan around. Which end you start from. Trails now show a direction, and a tap flips it. Gain, descent, the profile and the time estimate all follow the direction you actually chose. A rebuilt map toolbar: four buttons a gloved hand can hit, and one "More tools" sheet for the rest. Nothing folds or slides. Also: closure orders now cite themselves and their shapes are tappable; roads are marked as roads; filters for difficulty, surface and open-now; high point, descent and the steepest sustained stretch on the profile; and the forecaster's own words on each weather day. Fixed: shared trail links now open the trail; no more false "off trail" warnings when you haven't started one; the share card is readable in dark mode; feet instead of meters; and the phantom "new map data" banner on the first launch after an update.
