bignok Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I had one of the mhs loop. Was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Tea Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I wouldn't have thought there was any need for them now, with mapping apps such as komoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pond Life Posted November 14, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2023 I like to use the paper map for trip planning. While I'm riding I use Google maps, but for the small dirt trails I ride, you have to zoom way in for the road to be visible, then you lose the big picture. Roo, I'm aware they're available online, but I was hoping to buy a MHS Loop map off the shelf in CM. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 In addition, Google's map on i.e. Laos is serious crap. Some areas have no internet signal either hence there is no reliable 100% working alternative, if you're in the sticks of Indochina. GTR maps can be ordered with David, the cartographer, directly at [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth R Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Riders corner have some maps but can't remember which. They might know where else you can get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find is that phone based maps require you to zoom in excessively to find those small trails. I like to use the GT Rider maps to discover where the trails are, then plot my route onto Google maps on my tablet. I recommend GT Rider maps to anyone who likes to get off the beaten track. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally for me paper maps are cumbersome, having to stop open and track. Easier to cradle the phone on the holder making it easier to track on the fly. The maps on the apps are continuously updated, paper is static. To each their own for whatever works best… Edited November 26, 2023 by novacova 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pond Life Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Novacova, What's the name of the App you posted map images from ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Tea Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 With komoot.com you can plan your routes on your desktop, then access using their app on your phone. Can even store offline version of the map on your phone. all roads, trails & paths are updated as soon as OSM is updated by users. OSM = open source mapping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johpa Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 You can often find the GT-Rider maps at Mr. Mechanics in the big city or also up at the Xcenter in Mae Rim. They are an excellent complement to using online maps. When I pull out my GT-Rider maps those with only online maps always crowd around me asking where to get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. What I like about komoot is you can use it on desktop pc as well as on the phone. There are probably many similar apps for the phone, & they all seem to use the same data from OSM maps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
