What's New

NEW IN VERSION 8.0

→ NEW possibility to filter visible waypoints by data source and waypoint types
→ NEW integration with new Google maps app
→ NEW support for nautical units (nautical miles and knots)

(★) Offline cartography support
This is an advanced feature, and we do not yet provide automatic support for popular formats (such as Garmin KMZ files containing custom maps).
For now, you need to provide EasyTrails with cartography data in a format it can understand (SQLite database containing OSM-style tiles).
In order to use this feature, the first thing you need is some kind of digital cartography (in the form of scanned maps or, better yet, georeferenced image files).
If you start from analog media such as scanned maps, you will have to do the georeferencing for yourself.
Once you have georeferenced image files, you neeed to convert them into a format that EasyTrails can understand.
First you need to convert the image files in a set of OSM-style tiles, which will generate a directory structure (you can do that using software such as Global Mapper - http://www.globalmapper.com)
Then you will need to convert this directory structure into a SQLite database (you can do that using map2sqlite - https://github.com/magiconair/map2sqlite)
The resulting SQLite database can be loaded to EasyTrails using iTunes File Sharing and will be automatically detected by EasyTrails.
If in doubt, please contact us (http://www.easytrailsgps.com/Contacts).

Are you going for a bike or motorcycle ride? Well, EasyTrails GPS will tell you how many miles you traveled, how much time you spent, how high you climbed and many other details. In real-time it will show you the course on a map, comparing it with downloaded tracks and points of interest.

You can import or share all tracks and waypoints, photos and ideas for new journeys with your friends.

Share where you are on Facebook and Twitter through your GPS position, and export your tracks in standard formats, so you can review them on Google Earth, SportTracks and TrailsRunner. Or simply upload them to online services like Garmin Connect, or many others.

It's possible to import tracks by e-mail or Safari (EasyTrails can handle GPX, KML/KMZ and ZIP file formats), or by wi-fi networks, using an improved and easy to use web-based sharing feature.

You can also be guided to a point of interest using the included digital compass, associate photos and comments, or use a sound alert that will warn you about nearby waypoints.

Additionally, EasyTrails GPS can communicate with navigators like Maps, Google Maps, TomTom or Waze (if installed) for more advanced guidance needs.

EasyTrails GPS is easy to use and extremaly accurate. It ensures the maximum duration of battery thanks to the possibility of recording in "StandBy" mode.
