AllTrails Hiking & Mountain Biking

Price: Free

AllTrails Hiking & Mountain Biking by AllTrails, Inc. helps you locate biking trails that are around you.

This app is packed with features meant to help you locate the mountain biking trails near you, or near to where you will be traveling. Use this app to search and browse through all the trails that are located nearby and then track your activities with your device's built-in GPS.

You'll find information for more than 40,000 trails with guides that give details on  hiking, fly fishing, biking, snowshoeing, and other activities. You can add new trails or edit existing ones, write and read other trail reviews, and even add photos to the trails you've been on. Share your favorite trails with friends and family and sync your GPS tracks and saved trails with your AllTrails.com account.

What's really handy is that you don't even need an Internet connection to view your trails that you have downloaded. This is ideal when you're on a remote trail. There are also routes and topographic maps for approximately 5,000 of the most liked trails.

It should be noted that you'll need an Internet connection to download the trails that initial time, and continued use of your device's GPS tracker will drain the battery faster. If you want to add photos and trails you'll need an AllTrails account.

AllTrails Hiking & Mountain Biking was updated on May 16, 2013 and currently has 14 customer ratings with an average rating of four out of five stars.
