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.
Following requests, we have increased the size of the text in the menu (regrettably the map text cannot be enlarged at this stage).
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!
