Hey guys and welcome back to the channel this video today is a follow-up to a
previous video in which we talked about how to use the mobile application all
trails for hiking and backpacking and so today we are in Alaska and as you can
see I'm getting ready for our morning run which is part of our two-mile a day
for 30 days challenge that you can check at some point when we're done but anyway
so today I wanted to make this video so that I can walk you through the whole
process start to finish about how to use the application starting right here from
the hotel room where I have reliable internet I'm going to download the map
on my phone and then once I get to the trailhead I will show you exactly how
you can use it so I already found the trail here on the app that has the
distance and the level of difficulty that I'm interested in and this one here
is called elderberry Park to watch Esther it's a two point three mile hike
with an elevation gain of 157 easy enough for us to run this morning so the
first thing that I'm going to do here is to download the map to my phone and this
is basically going to allow me to use it even if I don't have access to the
Internet so I go in here I choose the first option to download all trails and
then right now it's downloading it's going to take a little bit of time here
depending on the speed of your internet all right and then from here I'm going
to click the green arrow it says my player downloaded this my player is
currently using 14 and B of space key so I'm gonna keep it here all right so
we're good to go the map is downloaded to my phone there is one thing that I
want to check and if you are on an iPhone you want to go to settings and
you scroll all the way down until you find the old trails out I'm going to
click that and you always want to make sure that you location is enabled for
this specific application so I go to location and there are some options to
say a low location ax is never ask next time while using the app zone just keep
it as always right now and then we're good to go then I hit the trail and then
will take you to the next step and the other thing that's going to be helpful
down the road is making this trail as a favorite and I'm going to show you why
so you just click the heart button on the top right and from there you can
choose which list you want to add it to doesn't really matter so for me I'm just
gonna add it to my wish list and then it's a favorite trail right now this is
going to be helpful in the next step
all right so I'm trying to hide a little bit under this trace in this Iranian
right now but we just got to the trailhead following the old trails
direction and that's by clicking directions and we basically just drove
until we found this start point here so right now I am at the trailhead I do
have service but in many scenarios you won't have access to the Internet so
what I'm going to do right now I'm going to turn off my cellular service and I'm
gonna turn off my Wi-Fi all right so this is going to be close to a real life
scenario so right now I am at the trailhead so I'm going to click the
heart button and I'm going to go to maps and the first map that I see here on my
phone is the trail that I'm interested in it's already downloaded to my phone
so I go in there click the map and then there are three dots in the top right of
the screen here I can't go in there and then I would want to click load into
recorder all right and then the recording screen is going to be up on
the screen right now and I can go ahead and click the record button and start my
hike or my run this is what I'm going to do right now let's hit record and let's
get going
all right so I'm trying to find a spot here where I can go a little bit off
trail to demonstrate what the map is going to tell me so let's see so this is
what I'm gonna do I'm going to take an off trail I'm gonna run a little bit
australe see if the map is gonna yell at me okay this is exactly what I thought
the map is telling me we're giving me an offer alt alert this is exactly what I
wanted to show you guys this is the off-road notification all right let's
get back to the trail Marine very slow for the challenge today but I'm very
happy that I was able to show you this guys so let's see I think it's right
here
coastal trail very beautiful so this is it I just followed the trail back to
where I started and then stuff my recording
