Trailforks: This is the GPS app for outdoor athletes

2020 was the year of outdoor activities and in the new year it continues the same way for now. Apps like Trailforks are a good support for this. We explain what the app can do and for whom it is suitable.

Wanted a trail? With the help of Trailforks, you'll always find a route.

Whether you're on a bike, on skis or on foot, if you want to know the best routes, you can draw on the experiences of other athletes. Trailforks relies on this principle.

Trailforks: Large selection of routes for outdoor fans

Trailforks is a database for outdoor route planning.

• The routes whose GPS data have been uploaded by users serve as the basis. In addition, there are suitable descriptions and also images.
• Also handy are special notes, such as potential obstacles on the way.
• Important is the subdivision depending on the sport: Both mountain biking and hiking, ski touring and many other activities are supported.
• Depending on your selection, you get appropriate routes displayed.
• You have to download the maps for the individual regions. This has the advantage that you are not dependent on the Internet connection with offline maps.
• As a map, the free OpenStreetMap is used.

To use Trailforks on the road, you need either a smartphone (the app is available for iOS and Android) or a compatible navigation device such as the Garmin Edge Explore. Since 2020, in addition to the free use, there is also the Pro subscription, with which you can use all features unlimited.
