Have you looked at putting these in trailforks as suggested routes?
Looks like a good amount of work - TF would push it out to a wider audience - esp the non-local peeps.

i see you put one in mtbproject...

Good idea. I'll work on that next.

Nice! Thanks for doing this. My only opinion would be to remove the old RVCC route with the directional arrows from the full trail map. I think it would be a bit confusing for the non-racers and anyone new to Ringwood.

Didn't Trailforks change to a paid service? I found the app to be very limited after the last update in 2020.

Nice work! Trailforks for sure, but Maprika would be good too.

user contributed data is outside the scope of the paid service.
I'm not sure what their pro subscription includes - i just contribute and look at maps.

Good to know. After the update all of the trails around me disappeared so thought it went all paid.

Agree. That route is a bit outdated. For the next update...

website access is still free but access to the App is limited for free users.

@Bleeder -

If you're not paying for the pro app then trails outside your homes area will be grayed out in the app. The website is free. Anyone can submit content to the website.

There might be other options for getting content in the app in the future

Thanks! That's awesome and i just DLed the 2021 Maprika one (thanks for putting year in name). There are now 7 maps on Maprika for Ringwood though. Is there a way to delete the old ones??

 

[gmb3]

Also, it may be user error but after zooming in on the new map it looks a little lower-resolution than previous ones. Still usable though.

I needed to convert the PDF to a JPEG in order to upload to Maprika and I lost some resolution in the process. Hopefully still clear enough to be useful.
I can't figure out a way to delete the old maps on Maprika (even the ones I uploaded myself back in the day). The app is bit clunky and Maprika doesn't allow you to do much from a computer. I tried selecting an old map and then the 'report a problem' link, but it just crashes the app.
