About Forge: Hiking Trail Maps
All Forge trails are digitised and attributed - by our team - with pinpoint accuracy and are regularly updated with input from local conservation agencies and trail managers. With live GPS location, localised emergency contacts and calls, and the ability to download offline maps you can explore with confidence!
Navigate over 6,000 km of trails and 3,200 points of interest across South Africa packaged in simple, easy-to-use maps.
Top features our users love:
• Accurate and up-to-date trails (including 1,400 km across Table Mountain in Cape Town),
• Free offline map downloads,
• Relevant and localised emergency contacts,
• Over 50 interactive nature reserve hiking maps with useful info including permits and fees, contact details and links, parking spots, facilities and more.
Did you know? Forge is 'Made in Mzansi', plus we are the official digital maps partner of CapeNature!
All Forge maps come with helpful tools:
• Basemap toggle (including high-definition satellite imagery).

Each trail segment is attributed with insightful info bites:

The Forge app is a year old! To celebrate our first birthday, we’ve been hard at work during the lockdown to bring you our biggest update yet.
Say hello to:
• Complete UI redesign - smoother more user-friendly design.
• Filter feature.
• Bookmarks feature (zoom to your favourite area/s).
• 3 new regions and 9 new reserves added with regular updates ongoing.
• Emergency call feature to area-relevant emergency numbers straight from the app.*
• Offline Maps for new regions and reserves.
We'd love to hear your feedback on the new design and areas so please get in touch! If you have some spare bones, please consider supporting us (feature in the app). As we expand the app requires more time and data and these unfortunately come with costs.
Stay up-to-date with everything Forge - announcements, pics and competitions - follow us on Instagram - @forge_sa.

Just readjusting our bag straps and tightening our boot laces to make the trek more enjoyable.
Enjoying using Forge? Consider making a donation via the ‘Support Us’ tab in app. Contributions as much as the cost of a bag of peanuts and raisins or tin of tuna helps us do cool things like add more paths for you to explore with confidence.
Hope you have a lovely festive season!

No signal, no problem with OFFLINE MAPS! You asked, we delivered. We're trialling a beta version of offline maps. Sure there may be some bumps in the path but we'll smooth these out as we go along.

Other updates include:
- A more aesthetic user interface.
- Dedicated MOUNTAIN BIKING and DOG-FRIENDLY hikes maps.
- New menu items: Trail Journal and Grading Guide.
- Emergency Contact button embedded in maps.
- Updated maps and attributes.
We’ve also just launched #IAMFORGE - Check it out on our website, Instagram, Facebook and Strava.
Please keep the great feedback coming! Your reviews really help us #Forge ahead!
