Version 2 Update

PreviousKeyboard ShortcutsNextContact Us

Last updated 1 year ago

What's changing?

Version 2 is a complete overhaul of what Backtrack is. Today, we're going from a "ski app" to a fully-featured mapping platform. Version 2 enables you to create & share your own maps to plan your backcountry adventures. Best of all, there's now a desktop app so you can plan on the big screen and then take your maps offline on your mobile device.

Are the features from version 1 still available?

Yes! Version 2 builds upon all the features from version 1. The app has been completely restructured so it might take some getting used to, but all the features are still there.

What can version 2 do?

There's so many awesome new features. The best place to start is in the documentation , or check out our new website at

Does my Pro subscription work with version 2?

Yes! If you already have a Pro subscription you'll enjoy all the same benefits and all new Pro features with version 2. This includes all desktop features.

Wait, did the app icon change?

Yes! We've undergone a rebrand which includes a rename to and a new logo.

How does this compare to Caltopo?

We are working hard to make the best mapping tool for backcountry planning. If you have feature requests that would make Backtrack a viable replacement for Caltopo for you, we'd love to hear from you!

Also, you can import your existing maps from Caltopo (or Gaia GPS) into Backtrack with one click.
