The free AllTrails alternative built for Australian trails
On AllTrails, offline maps, 3D maps and wrong-turn alerts sit behind a Plus membership. On Aus Trails, every one of those safety features is free — for all 482 Australian trails, with no account needed.

AllTrails tiers as published in their membership benefits guide. AllTrails is a great app with a worldwide catalogue — if you hike overseas often, it may still suit you. Aus Trails goes deep on Australia instead, and keeps safety free.
Safety is never paywalled
Offline maps for no-signal country, live GPS, and an alert the moment you drift off route. The features that get you home are free, forever.
Built for Australia only
482 trails across every state, with regional guides and hike collections written for Australian conditions — not a global database with Australia bolted on.
Know what you're looking at
Native plant and animal guides along the trail, free. On AllTrails, species ID is part of Peak — their highest membership tier.
Common questions
Is Aus Trails really free?
Yes. Everything that keeps you safe on trail — offline maps, live GPS, off-route alerts, 3D terrain and elevation profiles — is free forever. No card, no trial, no feature that switches off after a month. Pro is an optional add-on for trip-planning extras.
Do I need an account to download offline maps?
No. Offline maps, elevation, 3D terrain, comments and photos work for every hiker, signed in or not.
How is Aus Trails different from AllTrails?
Aus Trails is built only for Australia — 482 Australian trails with regional guides and native plant and animal identification. On AllTrails, offline maps, 3D maps and wrong-turn alerts need a Plus membership; on Aus Trails those safety features are free.
What does Aus Trails Pro cost?
Pro is $29.95 every 4 weeks after a 7-day free trial, and adds trip-planning extras: a route and itinerary planner, printable PDF maps, saved collections, advanced map layers and ad-free browsing. Safety features are never part of Pro.
