If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated through the App or by email. Continued use of the App after modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

The App is available for Android and iOS devices, as well as through a progressive web app (PWA).
Features, availability, and functionality may vary by subscription tier and are subject to change. We strive to maintain and improve the Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
3. Subscription Plans and Billing

4. User Responsibilities
By using Trail Map GPS, you agree to:
Safety First: Trail Map GPS is a navigation aid, not a replacement for proper outdoor safety preparation. Always carry backup navigation tools (physical map and compass), inform others of your planned route, check local conditions before departing, and follow all local laws and regulations.
Responsible Use: Stay on marked and authorized trails. Respect private property, wildlife, and other trail users. Follow Leave No Trace principles. Do not trespass on restricted areas regardless of what map data may indicate.
Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
Accurate Information: You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and to keep your information up to date.
Lawful Use: You will use the App only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations.
5. Important Disclaimers
5.1 GPS Accuracy
GPS positioning is subject to inherent limitations including satellite geometry, atmospheric conditions, signal obstruction from terrain or tree canopy, and device hardware quality. Positional accuracy can vary from a few meters to tens of meters or more. Never rely solely on GPS for navigation in remote or dangerous areas. Always carry physical backup navigation tools.
5.2 Weather Data
Weather information displayed in the App is sourced from third-party providers and is provided for informational purposes only. Weather data may be inaccurate, delayed, or unavailable. Do not rely solely on the App for weather-critical decisions. Always check official weather services and use your own judgment before heading outdoors.
5.3 Emergency Features
SOS alerts, emergency contact notifications, and position sharing features are provided on a best-effort basis. These features are NOT a replacement for calling 911, emergency services, or using dedicated emergency communication devices (satellite messengers, PLBs). These features require cellular or internet connectivity to function and may not work in remote areas. We do not guarantee delivery of emergency messages.
5.4 Trail Data and Conditions
Trail data, difficulty ratings, conditions, and points of interest are provided for reference only. Trail conditions change frequently due to weather, erosion, construction, seasonal closures, and other factors. Always verify trail status with local land management agencies before your trip. We are not responsible for inaccurate trail information.
5.5 Offline Maps
Offline map data represents a snapshot at the time of download. Maps may not reflect recent trail closures, construction, land use changes, or newly created trails. Regularly update your offline maps when connectivity is available.
