TREAD Map is informed by local land managers and allows users to share observations with land managers. That means when you post to TREAD Talk, you’re providing important information to the people who can help!

Ratings and reviews

Hoping this gets off the ground, but it's a bit "meh" at the moment. User interface is cluttered and hard to use - too much reliance on scrolling sideways through options with little buttons. Still a lot of trails and information missing, and I'm not seeing a way to contribute to the map. The fact that there isn't an online way to access the map and your account is a huge limiting factor for things like trip planning. Love the idea of consolidating all the various info sources, though.

Every time I try to use this, it takes more than 5 minutes to load all of the features. I've tried clearing the cache and uninstalling and reinstalling it and nothing works to speed it up. Once it's loaded, you can click various trailheads and whatnot but there isn't any information there. Sometimes the icons dont work at all but since no info shows, it's not helpful. So disappointing, as this is something I would use as a Washington hiker and cyclist.

App not user-friendly. It was advertised as a way to find dog-friendly trails. I couldn't find that information, and the "report a problem" link did not work. I tried to contact by email and the link inside the app itself, neither worked to ask for help. I uninstalled the app. It may be a scam app.
