TRAIL MAPPING PROGRAM RELEASED FOR PUBLIC USE
A Fairbanks-area trail user recently released a beta version of a program he is working on
called TrailMapper.
This is a web-based trail-mapping program that uses Google Earth and allows
users to add trails. Currently, most of the trails in the program are from interior Alaska,
but the program is set up for use by trail users statewide. As more users contribute trail
data this will become a very useful tool. Alaska Trails, a statewide non-profit trail group,
is helping facilitate development of the program.
To access the program go to: http://www.trailmapper.org
Click the link “Help” for a short tutorial. You’ll be prompted to download the
Google Earth plugin. It’s about 5 megabytes.
Because TrailMapper is in its beta version, it’s critical to give feedback to its
developer, Tom Clark (aksnowbiker@gmail.com). This is a volunteer effort and Tom is
busy with other projects for the summer, so further development and bug fixing is likely
to be delayed.

Many trails are already on the system including the Ester Dome Single Track and the Goldstream Sports Classic Ski Trail.
