One of the great benefits of the AllTrails Plus and Peak plans is that you can print or download a PDF of any map on AllTrails.com. Whether you're looking at a specific trail map, a map of an area you're hoping to explore, or a map of an activity that you find inspiring, you can easily print or save it as a PDF by following these steps:
Via desktop or laptop:
Printing can only be done through the AllTrails website from a desktop or laptop computer. It is not possible to print through the AllTrails mobile app or the AllTrails mobile website.
- Log into your account
- Open the trail or activity map you’d like to print
- Click the 'Print' button in the lower-right corner
- Pan and zoom to your desired area
- Click 'Print' to print immediately, or 'Download PDF' to save as a PDF
You can also print a map directly from a trail details page by clicking the three dots to view more options and selecting 'Print map'.
It is not possible to print maps from the AllTrails mobile website using your phone's web browser. Printing must be done from a laptop or desktop computer. The AllTrails mobile website will redirect you to the mobile app if you attempt to view the map in its entirety.
Map customization:
When printing maps on AllTrails, you have the following map customization options:
- Paper size
- Orientation
- Gridline style (Decimal vs. Degrees, Minutes, Seconds vs. UTM)
- Scale (1:18k vs. 1:24k Exact vs. 1:25k Exact vs 1:50k Exact, and more)
- Map type (Satellite vs. Topo vs. OSM, etc.)
- The addition of map extras (photos, waypoints, etc.)
You'll also be able to pan and zoom directly on the print preview screen to set your desired map area.
'Download PDF' vs. 'Print'
When printing via a desktop or laptop, you'll be presented with these two options on the print preview screen. Clicking 'Download PDF' will automatically generate a PDF based on your map specifications on AllTrails. You'll click 'Open PDF' to view the PDF in your browser, where you can then download to your device (or print). 'Print' will immediately launch your computer's print dialogue, where you can select the appropriate printer location and make further adjustments.
On mobile devices, you will only see the 'Print Map' option. This button will generate a PDF on your device, then you can use your phone's print function to print.
