June Bug Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don't know if any of y'all use Trailforks; I haven't looked into it. However, this update via PinkBike.com has a review on an interesting upgrade called Trail Grade Visualization, to help riders better understand what's in store in steepness of climbs and descents on trails. The article also shows some process in how Trailforks developed the visual aspects of this upgrade. Trailforks Introduces Trail Grade Visualization If any of you do use Trailforks instead of, for example, mtbproject, would you give a review on pros and cons? Any other trail apps worthy of consideration? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridenfool Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I think that TrailForks gets more development focus, probably because PinkBike has a veteran development team supporting their web presence that they probably lean on for this sort of thing. On the other hand, MTBProject has "MTB" in the name, so it is, of course, better. Plus, they sent me a cool jersey for my contributions and nice swag will always sway me toward the giver of any such boon. In practice, I have both on the phone. In some places one or the other will have better coverage of the trail I want. Bottom line for me, choice is better than no choice. This new way of showing the elevation is pretty nice and tells the story better than reading the topo lines. I always enjoy seeing useful features added to any app I depend upon. Kudos for TrailForks working hard to improve their product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
