A popular hiking app has released 27,000 trail maps for free download to increase hiker safety. AllTrails, which has over 20 million registered users worldwide, hopes that the maps will encourage hikers to plan their trips more carefully and avoid getting lost or injured.
The maps cover hiking trails in the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe, and include detailed information about the terrain, difficulty level, and elevation changes. They can be downloaded for offline use, which is especially useful for hikers who may not have reliable internet access in remote areas.
AllTrails CEO Ron Schneidermann said that the decision to release the maps for free was motivated by a desire to make hiking safer and more accessible to everyone. He added that the company hopes to encourage more people to get outdoors and explore the world around them.
The release of these maps is an important step towards increasing hiker safety and accessibility. Hiking can be a great way to stay active and explore nature, but it can also be dangerous if not approached with caution. By providing hikers with accurate and detailed information about trails, AllTrails is helping to ensure that more people can enjoy the benefits of hiking while staying safe and prepared.
