[Talk-us] JuicyTrails Map and App based on OSM data released

[Mike Thompson]

Derrick,

I like the rendering style.  Really makes the trails stand out.

Nice that your documentation encourages your users to contribute to OSM.

I clicked on your link for your website.  Initially the map was centered
over Salida, CO.  There was a nice list of trails on the right margin that
one could click on, thus highlighting the trail on the map.  Once one pans
away from Salida, this functionality seems not to be in place.  Am I doing
something wrong?  Do the trails in my area have to be tagged in a special
way to enable the full functionality of JuicyTrails?

Mike
