Now you can add trail descriptions and trail reports so that others can benefit from your experience. Mapitfirst recently added Scramble descriptions and Cross Country Ski trails to the package. Having a route description from one author is good, but if you can read two or three opinions of a scramble, you'll likely to get a better sense of what you're in for. We're pleased to offer this data at no cost and we hope it encourages you to get out more often. Combining topographical route information with current data all in one place means you don't have to scour the internet looking for dependable, up-to-date details you need to accurately plan your trip. Trail Updates Mapitfirst automatically checks for updates. Trails may get washed out, closed or changed due to fire or some other reason. Web links change or better information becomes available or they will add more information to upgrade the product. A description of the update will be posted on their web site. Interesting Links Mapitfirst added some interesting links through out the maps. Click on a mountain peak and you are linked to a brief description from "Peakfinder". Peakfinder's website is a fabulous way to learn more about a mountain but also has interesting descriptions of the history and people of the area. We will be adding links to other interesting sites in the future. Planning Planning your trip with friends has never been easier.
