Trail Treker vs Colorado Trail Explorer Usage & Stats

Trail Treker is a map viewing tool for use with the Trail Treker map publishing service. Trail Treker worker works with clubs, tourism agencies and municipalities to make their maps work offline on end user smartphones. Once the map is loaded, you no longer need phone service; the GPS receiver in your phone will operate without phone service. In fact, we recommend that you place your phone in Airplane Mode if you are in an area with limited or partial phone service to conserve your battery. Trail Treker will also electronically, via GPS location, show local businesses and points of interest. You can store your own points of interest as well. Key points such as survival shelters, supplies, or emergency evacuation points may be shown on various maps. Note: Only those gas stations/POIs that the member supplies will be shown. The Trail Treker app will allow you to download any member map. If you have a member map code, the map will be free. If not, the map will be an additional purchase. Continued use of GPS in the background can decrease battery life. FEATURES: Show Trail map overlaid on various Google maps Show your position on top of any map. Record your position and tracks Record notes regarding position points See local businesses on or near mapping area Filter local businesses by category Load any number of maps (storage space required)

COTREX connects people, trails, and technology by coordinating the efforts of federal, state, county, and local agencies to create a comprehensive repository of recreational trails for public use. COTREX is unique in that the app only shows information from official sources. No unreliable crowdsourced information or recommendations from someone on the other side of the country. Everything you see in COTREX has been reviewed and approved by the managers and experts local to that area. This project is led by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and Department of Natural Resources, but is only made possible through partnerships with organizations at every level statewide. COTREX represents a seamless network of trails managed by over 230 land managers. ■ DISCLAIMERS [Battery Life] We do everything we can to make the app low power when recording, but GPS is notorious for reducing battery life.
