Ratings and reviews

I'd prefer the "trails near me" map to show the trails in their entirety, not just the trailhead. It is too clunky to click: Trailhead icon > Trailhead pop-up > View trail map, just to see where the trail goes. Furthermore, this creates a disjointed view of trails that are connected, for example, the Empire State Trail is broken up into segments, so almost like a triptic, you have to go back to the "trails near me" map to then find the next section.

Every time I try to look up a trail in the middle of it an ad to purchase pops up and forces me to start over. It's really not worth the aggravation. All these trail/rec/camping apps want me to purchase a 1 year $30+ fee. There's no way I'm doing that. I would do a 1x fee maybe on some but not paying $35 a year. I can bike and camp maybe 5 months if the year.

Good information that is hard to get. On the main map a path is represented as a single pin, so to figure out which trails come closest to your current location you have to click on every pin in your vicinity and then click again to see the actual path. Open Street Map, Google Maps' bicycling layer, or Strava make it much easier to get around using Rails-to-Trails paths.
