A quick update regarding JTS Adventure maps and Avenza Maps.
For the past few events, many attendees have used Avenza Maps to view the official JTS trail maps. Unfortunately, Avenza recently made major changes to its platform and subscription model. Free users can no longer reliably use custom imported maps without a paid subscription, and map publishers are currently unable to update maps through the Avenza Map Store.
Because of these changes, our trail map creator, Chad Overcast , has set up a website to provide alternate downloads and map resources for JTS Adventure attendees:
https://www.chadovercast.com/JTS-Maps
The page includes updated GPX and KML map files along with recommendations for alternative apps. Feel free to comment below if you have a particular app that works well with the file downloads.
Please understand there is no perfect replacement for the old Avenza workflow. Different apps support GPX/KML files differently, and some may not preserve colors or styling exactly as intended. We are still testing and refining the best options moving forward.
If you are currently using Avenza and everything is still working for you, there is no immediate need to change anything. This page is simply intended to provide alternatives and updated downloads for anyone affected by the recent changes.
Thanks everyone, and we look forward to seeing you on the trails!
