Trekarta Lite - offline maps for outdoor activity

About Trekarta Lite - offline maps for outdoor activity Android App

Trekarta

is designed for hiking, cycling, geocaching, off-roading, boating and all other outdoor activities. It uses offline topo maps so you do not need to have internet connection. You can easily create places and share them to others. It lets you write the track of your journey, even in background, so you will never get lost and be able later see where you've been.


Offline maps

Trekarta uses OpenStreetMap based vector maps that are lightweight, offline and are constantly enhanced by contributors. Maps contain detailed topological data with elevation contours. Some map elements can be filtered out for cleaner look. Trekarta has built-in hillshades support.


Hiking

Special hiking activity mode emphasises paths and tracks on map. It visualizes path difficulty and visibility and displays hiking routes. It also displays special OSMC symbols that help you identify desired route.


Cycling

Cycling activity mode reveals bicycle infrastructure. It shows cycling routes and visualizes mountain biking track difficulty and visibility.


Skiing and skating

Skiing activity mode displays clean winter map with mostly all skiing activities: downhill, nordic, hiking and touring. As a bonus freestyle snow-boarding, skating and sleighing areas are displayed.


Off-road

Unpaved, dirt, winter and ice roads are specially visualized. 4wd only roads have specific marking. Fords are displayed on all roads, even primary.


Places

Places can be easily created within application. You can navigate to places and share them with others.


Tracks

Trekarta is designed to record tracks of your journey. Simply press a button when you start and press it once more when you finish. You can quit the application if you do not need to look at the map, the track will be recorded in the background.
