We Offer Our Trail Maps in Two Formats: Digital and Paper
Most Pocket Pals Trail Maps are available in paper format, and many are also available in digital format through our Pocket Pals MapViewer.
Our paper maps are waterproof, tear-resistant, pocket-sized, and built to handle real trail use. Our digital maps are designed for use on your mobile device, allowing you to view your map while out on the trail and see your current location directly on the map.
PAPER MAPS
Our paper maps are printed on special waterproof and tear-resistant material. They are extremely durable and made to last for years, even in tough outdoor conditions.
They can handle rain, rough handling, and even an accidental trip through the washing machine if you forget one in your pocket. Now that’s durable!
And, as our name says, Pocket Pals maps are pocket-sized and easy to carry with you on the trail.
DIGITAL MAPS
Our digital maps are designed to be used with the Pocket Pals MapViewer. After purchasing a digital map, you will receive instructions for accessing your map through the MapViewer on your mobile device.
With the MapViewer, you can:
- View your Pocket Pals digital map on your phone or tablet
- See your current location directly on the map
- Use the map while out on the trail
- Access your downloaded map even when cell service or Wi-Fi is unavailable
This means there is no longer a need to download a separate navigation app or manually load our digital maps into another app. Our MapViewer makes it easier to access, install, and use your digital Pocket Pals maps.

PLEASE NOTE
Pocket Pals digital maps are designed for use on mobile devices and tablets only. They are not printable.
Map navigation on a mobile device can use a significant amount of battery power, especially during longer outings. To help conserve battery life, you may want to place your device in Airplane Mode while on the trail after your map has been downloaded. For longer hikes or remote trail adventures, we also recommend carrying a paper map as a backup, along with a mobile power supply or solar charger.
