Trails Illustrated maps are designed to take you into the wilderness and back, and now the latest maps are available digitally with added features to help you create the exact map you need. The National Parks Explorer 3D is like an interactive version of the 25 most popular Trails Illustrated National Park maps.

Primary features include:

  • Four zoom levels for each map, including a National Geographic Atlas level
  • Automatically highlight a selected trail on the map to see the elevation profile, get gps waypoints, or view the trail in 3D. Or draw your own route off the beaten path.
  • View the maps in 3D - either fly along a trail or get a 360 degree view from any point on the map. A resizable split screen enables you to view the maps in 3D and 2D mode simultaneously.
  • Use with your GPS device by transferring waypoints and routes between the software and your handheld GPS unit. Store, organize, and manage an unlimited number of waypoints in the software.
  • Customize maps with digital photos, notes, and symbols.
  • Print your own maps in color or grayscale, add lat/long or UTM grids, and center on the area you want. For the ultimate adventure map, use the waterproof adventure paper sold separately below.
  • Each park map features a PDF with additional travel and recreation information for that area.

    Mac and PC compatible!

    NOTE: Opened software is non-returnable.
