The Trail

Great Rides App

Great Rides App - FREE

New Zealand's best guide and tracking app for the Great Rides.

Once a trail is downloaded it can work offline:

  • to track your position along the trail using your phone's GPS

  • showing key stops on the trail with photos and descriptions

  • providing information about trail sections with elevation profiles

  • identifying bike related services to help you along your ride

  • as a guide with trail information all packaged into one app

All trail data has been carefully collected on-site then compiled with relevant trail side attractions and points of interest. Key sites can be found on the map screen and selected to provide more information, photos and links.

To download the app simply tap the appropriate button below for your device.
