One of the great benefits of AllTrails+ is that you can download maps to your phone for offline use. This allows you to view detailed map information and navigate using your phone's built-in GPS while you're out on the trail - even when you don't have a data signal!
Your downloaded maps are stored in and accessible through the AllTrails app under Saved >> Downloads.
