I just paid for Alltrail Peak. As far as I can tell the main difference so far is it lets you draw custom maps on their maps. What's funny is you pay 80 dollars a year, and those naggers STILL won't pay the licensing fees to give us back the Topo maps they had for years. I am hoping paying this money allows me to get some glimpse of community content/user submitted trails - I've found all sorts of cool stuff on unofficial trails. They also took away the ability to see user photos while hiking on the trail, which let you position yourself for the best views, and now they have a community heatmap which is strangely much less useful.

Custom Routes gives you the ability to build your ideal trail, whether it’s a short loop or a multi-night through-hike. Members can start from scratch, customize existing trails, and use new AllTrails smart-routing, which leverages AI to make a trail shorter, less steep, or “more scenic” with just a tap.

Trail Conditions provides expected condition information along the trail, including temperature, precipitation, and snow depth. Functioning as a weather app within the AllTrails platform, Trail Conditions combines analysis of 15 weather factors with geospatial intelligence and recent reviews. More than 10 million data points power Trail Conditions, which also includes alerts for air quality and mosquito activity. A future update will add terrain and ground conditions showing pavement, gravel, mud, and more.

Community Heatmap allows you to see trail traffic data to find popular trails or quieter hidden gems. Supported by millions of trailgoers’ activities, Community Heatmap gives insights into recent outdoor activity to help members plan an adventure that aligns with their preferences.

Why

Maybe there's some useful features. It's 40 dollars (they refund your plus subscription cost if you already have that), and if I don't like it, I downgrade. I actually use it innawoods all the time and I often make custom routes with it and usually I import them via CalTopo but this might be more direct.

lol

>I just paid for Alltrail Peak
do room temperature iq brainlets really?

I think it will ultimately prove useful.

Trail Conditions might be handy if it works properly, the rest idk even OsmAnd lets you build custom routes

>>2826971
Well, you used to be able to see random trails individual people hiked on a map, and now they took that away completely, interesting if you know the NAME they recorded the trail as, you can look it up on a search engine and it will pull it up, and you can search by hiker if you know their name, but they totally banoo'd you from searching for non-"curated" trails that alltrails hasn't pre-approved which is SUPER annoying and if this somehow secretly lets me back into that - worth it.

I tried it on special for 25 bucks, it's been alright and I found a few places I wouldn't have known about otherwise, but I'm sure there is better ways to know where to go.

Just for yourself? You don't need an app feature for that if it's not going to share it with others.

With the Plus, you can already download multiple trail maps, start on one preset trail anywhere, and hike off into another connecting trail, pause, and start that trail's map. You don't even have to start on the preset trailheads. Just remember to resume the other trail once you get back onto it. And of course mute the "wrong turn?" notification once you get it.

>>2827683
yeah but there's plenty of trails that just don't appear on alltrails at all and aren't curated trails
I used to import trails from caltopo after tracing their usgs topo outlines

During my last few trips, I've noticed that many of the curated trails haven't been updated or revised in a long fucking time. Post pics of any changes or where they've gone wrong and their mods or whatever won't do shit about it.

OnX Backcountry is superior, and cheaper
not perfect by any means but I find it works pretty well
