FAQ

Q: What does the MyTrails License / Pro version buy me?
Q: Is this a crippled trial?

MyTrails offers a lot of unique and refined features, and most of them are available for free, without limitation.

However, I have spent countless hours developing this application, and I am asking for a modest sum for some extended features, which can be tried during the initial (and frequently-reset) trial period, and by purchasing a Pro License.

Here is the list of Pro-only features:

- ability to display multiple tracks on the map simultaneously
- ability to create offline maps with unlimited number of tiles (the free version is limited to 100 tiles when creating offline maps)
- ability to display the HUD and permanent scale on the map view
- proximity notifications
- GPSies, My Trails and Dropbox integration
- altitude normalization
