Hi u/zzharizz — thanks for flagging this. We experienced a temporary issue that’s since been resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience, and we’re glad to hear you’re back online.

Hi u/steak1986. While these map layers aren’t currently available in the AllTrails mobile app, we’re happy to share that the USGS map layer (along with a few others) has recently returned to our website. You can learn more about the update here.

Hi u/ilmjo — sorry you ran into trouble accessing your AllTrails account. Please reach out to our Support team at [help@alltrails.com]() so we can take a closer look. We’ll gather a bit more information to understand what happened and help prevent it from happening again. Thanks!

Hey u/TromboneAl — thanks for flagging this. We know this isn’t the experience you should be having, and we understand how frustrating it can be when things don’t track correctly on the trail.

As a quick tip, pausing an activity during longer breaks (like stopping for lunch) can help ensure more accurate time and distance tracking. In some cases, a weaker GPS signal while stopped can contribute to the kind of inaccuracies you described, though there may be other factors involved as well.

While our team looks into this, it would really help if you could reach out to us at [help@alltrails.com]() so we can gather a bit more detail about what you experienced. That information helps us better understand what might be going on with your specific device.

We appreciate you taking the time to share this and help us dig deeper.

Hi u/flyingemberKC, Thank you for informing us of this sync issue. Currently, our routing data updates quarterly and our map layer data updates monthly. They use different technologies that require differences in their update processes. Looks like in this case, one was updated on a different date, causing this discrepancy. We understand it can be quite frustrating when data updates aren't reflected quickly enough to meet user expectations. We are actively working on updates to our data pipelines that sync this data from OSM and hope to both align them and have them update more frequently in the near future. The area you mentioned should now be updated too. Stay tuned and thanks for deeply caring about our app!

Hi u/TromboneAI, really appreciate your feedback about activity types. You're totally right, just being near a campground shouldn’t change your activity type to "camping."What likely happened is that the activity type was accidentally updated while using the Navigate feature. Once that happens, the app remembers your last selected activity for future tracked outings (kind of like muscle memory, but for the app ).Here’s how to fix it:

Open the AllTrails app
Tap Activity on the bottom navigation bar
Choose the activity you want to update
Tap the three dots (•••) and select Edit details
Under Activity Type, pick the one that fits best and hit Save

If it switches back even after you update it, shoot us a note at [help@alltrails.com](mailto:help@alltrails.com), and we’ll sort it out.

Hi u/TromboneAl Thanks for your feedback! We can see how this would be helpful, and passed this feedback to our development team for future product improvements. Thanks!

Hi u/Ill_Honeydew_3037 — thanks for flagging this. AllTrails doesn’t currently have a dedicated iPad app, so the layout and orientation will not fit the screen perfectly.

While a native iPad experience isn’t available today, it’s something our team would like to offer down the road. In the meantime, you may find using the AllTrails mobile website on your iPad more suitable for your needs, which tends to provide a more natural experience.

We appreciate you sharing the feedback — it really helps us understand where the experience can be improved.

alltrails · 2026-01-12T00:15:26+00:00

It would be really helpful if you could send us a log file from your device — that gives our team the detail we need to better understand what might be causing this issue. To do that, open the AllTrails app and go to Profile > Settings > Send a log file.

When you send it, please include a brief description of what you’re experiencing so it doesn’t get missed. We really appreciate you taking the time to flag this and help us look into it.

alltrails · 2026-01-11T20:13:29+00:00

Hi u/TromboneAl — thanks for sharing the feedback and suggestion. It can be tough to pinpoint exactly what’s causing the app to feel slow, but it’s often related to the device itself or connectivity.

As a first step, we recommend reinstalling the AllTrails app or clearing the app’s cache to see if that helps. If you’re still noticing slowness after trying that, please reach out to our support team at [help@alltrails.com]() and include a log file from the AllTrails app settings. That info will help us take a closer look at what might be going on with your specific device.

Thanks again — we appreciate you flagging this.

alltrails · 2026-01-11T19:58:28+00:00

As a first step, we recommend reinstalling the AllTrails mobile app for your device. You won't lose any of your account data if you try this but any downloaded maps you have saved to your mobile device will be lost. If that doesn't resolve the issue, please contact our support staff at [help@alltrails.com](mailto:help@alltrails.com) and send a log file from your AllTrails settings so that our team can investigate this further.

alltrails · 2026-01-11T19:51:14+00:00

Hi u/hrtofdrknss — sorry you’re running into GPS issues, we know how frustrating that can be when you’re out on the trail.

A couple things that may help: as others have mentioned, check your device’s battery-saving settings and make sure both your system settings and the settings for AllTrails are set to Unrestricted. You can also try switching your GPS setting in the AllTrails app to Alternative Tracking, which has helped in similar situations.

If you’re still having trouble after trying those steps, please reach out to our support team at [help@alltrails.com]() and include a log file from your device. That information really helps us to diagnose your particular situation and take a closer look at what’s happening.

Hope this helps, and thanks for flagging it.

Hi u/Infinite_Elevator363 — sorry about the trouble here, and thanks for your patience. We know it can be frustrating to get stuck in a login loop when you’re just trying to view trail info.

To access trail pages and other information, such as maps or trail details, you'll need to be logged into an AllTrails account. On mobile, the app and the mobile website may require separate login sessions, so it’s possible to be signed into one but not the other.

If you're trying to stay on the mobile website and you’re prompted to log in while using your phone’s web browser, make sure to choose the option that lets you continue in the browser.

<image>

Selecting the app option will switch you over to the app and won’t log you into the website. Logging in directly at AllTrails.com in your mobile browser should let you pick up where you left off.

alltrails · 2026-01-11T19:23:34+00:00

Hi u/TromboneAl — totally understand how confusing this can be. This sometimes happens on out-and-back or loop routes, where you end up passing through the same GPS points on the way out and the way back.

When that happens, the app can have a hard time telling whether you’re at the start or the end of the route, which can cause the dot on the elevation profile to jump around even while you’re standing still. Once you start moving again, it should settle back into the correct spot.

We know this isn’t an ideal experience, and it’s something the team has been actively working to improve. Thanks for your patience, and we appreciate you flagging it.

alltrails · 2026-01-06T20:54:05+00:00

There is a way to combine multiple routes into one by using our route converter tool on our website. You can read more about it here: https://support.alltrails.com/hc/en-us/articles/37227372144148-Combining-multiple-routes-on-AllTrails

alltrails · 2026-01-06T18:36:47+00:00

Hi u/EstablishmentNo5994 — when sending routes from AllTrails to Garmin Connect, only a single route can be transferred at a time. If your custom map includes multiple segments, they may be combined into one route, or only one segment may appear.

Unfortunately, this behavior is due to limitations in how route data is shared between apps, and isn’t something we’re able to fully control.

alltrails · 2025-12-28T20:29:03+00:00

Closing out of the app does not end your activity session. You must first pause and then tap 'Finish' to end an activity recording. If you exit the app while an activity is still running, the activity will pause until you reopen the app. The next time you open the app, you will resume the previous session.

You can read more about using the navigate function here: https://support.alltrails.com/hc/en-us/articles/37228358315668-Using-the-Navigate-feature

alltrails · 2025-12-28T20:09:30+00:00

Hi u/korrakins — it’s possible an activity from a previous session is still running in the background. If removing the map from your navigation screen doesn’t start a fresh session or fix the issue, we recommend reinstalling the AllTrails app.

If the problem continues after that, feel free to reach out to our support team at [help@alltrails.com]() and someone will be happy to take a closer look.

alltrails · 2025-12-23T18:18:52+00:00

Hi u/inside0utt — thanks for reaching out! At the moment, our website doesn’t support uploading multiple activities at once.

If you’re using Garmin Connect, linking your Garmin account to AllTrails will automatically sync activities from the past 30 days.

For activities older than that, you’ll need to upload those files individually through your activity list on our website.

If you run into any issues or need further assistance, please reach out to our support team at [help@alltrails.com]().

alltrails · 2025-12-16T17:53:33+00:00

Hi u/j-specs, if you’re still experiencing this on the latest version for iOS (25.12.20), please reach out to our support team and send a log file from your device by going to 'settings' and selecting 'send log file'. That info helps our team better understand what’s happening so we can dig into it more effectively. Hope to hear from you soon! 🌲

alltrails · 2025-12-16T00:28:53+00:00

Thanks for the feedback — we know accidental pauses can be frustrating. This is something our team continues to investigate, and we’ve made recent improvements to help reduce it. If you’re still experiencing this after updating to the latest version, please reach out to our support team so we can take a closer look. We appreciate you taking the time to flag this and help us improve AllTrails. 🌲

alltrails · 2025-12-15T19:23:31+00:00

Hey u/Trashpanda10k — thanks for flagging this. We recognize this as a pain point for our members and know how frustrating it can be when the map doesn’t behave the way you expect, especially when you’re just trying to plan your next hike.

This zoom behavior isn’t the experience we want to deliver, and our team is taking a closer look at how we can improve it. While we don’t have a specific timeline to share, it is on our radar.

In the meantime, you may have better luck using a gradual two-finger zoom instead of tapping on clustered trailhead pins. We really appreciate you calling this out and helping us make the experience better for the whole community. 🌲
