Mobile Maps Of The Front Country Trails Updated

Newly updated, maps for your mobile device are online.  These maps are view-able for both Android and iPhone and give you all the trails and the scenic points along the trails.  Every map icon holds details about the selected trail including elevations, distances, descriptions, and points of interest.

To use, Google Earth App must be installed on the mobile device and if scanning QR codes, iPhone users will have to scan using the RedLaser App.  Scan from your home computer before leaving for the trail head or open directly from the webpage on your mobile device.

Remember some areas of the Front Country do not have good cellular access and these maps may not work in these areas.  Feedback welcome.

Santa Barbara Trails Mobile Map Updated/ New Website Content

We are happy to announce an update for the SB Front Country Trails Mobile Map and all new content for our website. The Mobile Map now has two options for viewing- the original, through the web browser on your mobile device or the new and recommended way- "pre-loading" the maps using Google Maps. This pre-loading way provides faster loading times and allows for more content to be displayed. In addition to the new viewing options, more content has been added to the map including more POI's, improved directions, and parking help. Visit our "MAPS" page for complete details on our Mobile Maps.

Check out our website with all new content added including an extensive "Trail Resourses" page with information on trail organizations, trail weather, safety, fitness and more. Be sure to visit the Photo gallery page to see photos from all over your favorite trails.

Front Country Trails Map Goes Mobile!

Ever wish you knew where the correct turn off was for the trail with the great view or waterfall? You forgot your map but had your cell phone, too bad there wasn't a way to access our trails via your smartphone! Now there is!

A map of the entire Front Country Trails with detailed info about routes, distances, elevations, and POI's all available in the palm of your hand. This map was developed using the same data that was collected for the Maintenance Map earlier this year. Now instead of being full of maintenance needs these maps have distance, elevations, points of interest and other information to help you along the trail. By tapping trails, fire roads, or individual icons, detailed information about a trail, trail head, or scenic point will pop up on the screen. Have patience as this can take several seconds to load depending on cell signal.

Here is how it works- KML files of the trails are uploaded to our website which can be accessed from the links "mobile trail maps". Individual trails are listed as is the entire trail system(slower loading time) found at the top of the main page. While browsing the net on your cell phone visit: multiuse.org and click the links. Using iPhone 3 or 4 allow the browser to open the file. Using Droid open file in browser only, when given the option to view in Google Maps or browser- CHOOSE BROWSER.

If you have a GPS enable phone you can locate your exact location on the trail pushing the "my location" button. Choosing the "page" button at the top of the screen provides a list of all the trails and poi's and clicking will place a marker on that location of the map.
