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

[Mike Thompson]

Derrick,

Thanks for the explanation.

The list of trails in the right pane is a very helpful feature. Consider
making it work solely off of OSM data.  It would provide a great way to
find a trail by its name, especially by someone who is new to the area or
who is a visitor.

Mike
