Features
Not a wiki. Not a generic maps app. A planning tool built on curated geospatial data, live government feeds, and the same routing engines professionals use.
Enter your height, weight, width, and length once. TrailPin applies them as truck-restriction parameters in Esri's professional routing engine — and we're honest about the limits: restriction data coverage varies, so always obey posted signs.
Road closures and work zones from state DOT feeds nationwide, weather alerts, rain radar, wildfire perimeters, and air quality — on the map and clipped to your route, refreshed about every 15 minutes.
Tell it how long you want to drive each day. TrailPin marks where each day ends and suggests the best campgrounds within reach — one tap adds them to your trip.
Public, private, membership, and unique stays — plus national parks, forests, EV charging, overnight-friendly stores, and emergency services on one explore map.
4,000+ stations — a national catalog members extend and correct. Every submission is reviewed by a human moderator before it appears, and every station names its source.
See the climb before you're in it: route elevation profiles with steep-grade and high-altitude flags you can tune to your rig and comfort.
A three-step Find tool searches TrailPin's complete curated data free — with live web-wide place search alongside. Every pin carries the details that matter, with the source named on every popup.
Save trips, favorites, and bookmarks. Re-open a saved trip and the Day Planner picks up right where you left off — every map remembers your place.
Live conditions
Your route doesn't live in a vacuum — it crosses heat advisories, work zones, smoke plumes, and storms. TrailPin draws them on your trip, not on the evening news.
Display only — a planning aid, not life-safety information. Conditions change; always check official sources before and during travel.
Rig-aware routing
Generic apps route you like a sedan. TrailPin sends your saved dimensions to Esri's professional truck-routing engine as restriction parameters — so roads and bridges with mapped restrictions your rig can't clear are avoided where that data exists.
Curious exactly how it works? The in-app Help spells out every parameter we send — transparency no one else in this market offers.
Community
The dump-station map every RVer wishes existed: a 4,000+ station national catalog seeded from public sources — then extended and corrected by the people who actually use them.
More community layers are coming — the pipeline is built.
How it works
STEP 1
Height, length, width, weight. Saved to your account — every route respects it automatically.
STEP 2
Add your stops and get a rig-safe route with distance, drive time, and fuel estimate — with live closures and weather drawn along the way.
STEP 3
Set your daily drive limit. TrailPin circles where each day ends and hands you the top campgrounds — add one with a tap.

Data
Trust in a planning tool comes from knowing where the data came from and when it was last touched. That's not fine print at TrailPin — it's the product.
NPS, USFS, BLM, USACE, USFWS, TVA, state park agencies, KOA, Good Sam, Passport America, Harvest Hosts and other listed sources — curated and refreshed by All Things Spatial, with the source and update date on every popup.
USDOT WZDx work-zone feeds from state DOTs (plus a dedicated Illinois DOT integration) · NWS/NOAA weather alerts · NOAA MRMS radar · NIFC wildfire perimeters · EPA AirNow air quality. Refreshed ~every 15 minutes; display only.
Member-submitted dump stations, edits, and confirmations — human-moderated before publication, attributed, and timestamped. Curation plus community: each makes the other better.
FAQ
No — TrailPin is a trip-planning aid, not a navigation device. Always obey posted signs and verify clearances, closures, and campground details independently. Posted information on the road overrides anything in the app.
Your saved height, length, width, and weight are sent to Esri's professional routing service as truck-restriction parameters; roads and bridges with mapped restrictions your rig violates are avoided where that data exists. Restriction data comes from commercial road data and coverage varies — no provider guarantees every low bridge or weight limit is mapped. The in-app Help documents exactly what we send.
Live layers refresh about every 15 minutes from official government feeds, and every popup shows its update time. They're display-only planning aids — not life-safety information.
Yes — members add and correct dump stations today, with more community layers coming. Every submission is reviewed by a human moderator before it appears, and contributors get feedback on their submissions.
From named, checkable sources — NPS, USFS, BLM, state park agencies, KOA, Good Sam, Passport America, Harvest Hosts, and more — curated and refreshed by All Things Spatial. Every place shows its source and update date right on the popup.
Yes. Account → Billing → Manage billing, effective at the end of your period. Canceling is as easy as signing up — that's policy, not a promise.
Yes — TrailPin runs in any modern mobile browser, and it's genuinely handy on the road for checking your route, conditions, and saved places. But we'll be straight with you: trip planning is a big-screen job. TrailPin is designed for a laptop or desktop when you're building an itinerary; your phone is for referencing the plan once you're rolling.
