Trekarta

Trekarta is an Android app designed to enhance your outdoor experiences such as hiking, geocaching, off-roading, cycling, and boating. It operates using offline maps, providing the convenience of uninterrupted navigation without the need for an internet connection. You can easily import and share places and tracks using GPX and KML data formats or create them directly within the app. Additionally, Trekarta captures your journey’s track, even when running in the background, ensuring you never lose your way and allowing you to revisit your paths.

Enhanced Map Features

The Trekarta app utilizes OpenStreetMap-based vector maps that are lightweight and offline, constantly enriched by contributors. These maps provide detailed topological data with elevation contours, and specific map elements can be filtered for a cleaner appearance. Trekarta includes built-in hillshade support, enhancing the presentation of terrain. With options to add custom maps in sqlite or mbtiles format, you have the flexibility to visualize areas of interest with shaded maps, designed from online sources and convertable with applications like MapTiler.

Activity-Specific Modes

For those keen on hiking, Trekarta offers a special mode that highlights paths and tracks while displaying difficulty levels and visibility. Cyclists benefit from bicycle infrastructure visualization, including cycling routes and mountain biking track details. In skiing mode, winter sports enthusiasts can explore clear maps geared toward various skiing and skating activities, all specially visualized for comprehensive navigation during your outdoor adventures.

Track Recording and Plugins

Designed to keep a record of your adventures, Trekarta allows you to effortlessly start and stop track recording. These records continue even if you aren’t viewing the map, providing a seamless outdoor navigation experience. The app's functionality is further enhanced through plugins like location sharing and Dropbox sync, adding layers of personalization and convenience. Trekarta remains versatile, adapting to the unique needs of its diverse user base.
