Where Does Trailforks Store Offline Trail Maps?
Trailforks offline trail regions, ride logs and account sync on mobile.
Last updated
Trailforks downloads trail regions into app private storage for offline maps and navigation, with ride logs, wishlists and badges on the account. The crowd sourced trail database streams; saved regions persist.
Ride recording writes to the account feed with local caching mid ride. Pro unlocks larger offline areas and advanced layers. Reinstalls restore the profile on login while offline regions need fresh downloads per device.
