Live demo — Hiking & Outdoors
Explore every Department of Conservation track across Aotearoa. Filter by track type, click any trail to see details, and download a GPX file straight to your device or app.
What this map does
Built on open DOC data and Leaflet — the same approach works for any country with open trail datasets.
Tracks and huts pulled directly from the Department of Conservation's official ArcGIS services. Always up to date, no manual data entry required.
Walking tracks, tramping tracks, and cycling routes are colour-coded and filterable so your readers only see what's relevant to them.
Click any trail and download a GPX file — compatible with Garmin, Suunto, OsmAnd, Komoot, AllTrails, and every major GPS app.
Every open DOC hut shown with clustering at country scale. Click a cluster to zoom in; click a hut for name, type, and status.
Search any New Zealand town, range, or landmark to fly instantly to that area and load the nearby tracks.
The same approach works with trail data from any country — US Forest Service, OS (UK), Parks Canada, Komoot, or any GeoJSON/Shapefile source.
For hiking & outdoors sites
Hiking and outdoors readers don't just read — they plan, download, and return. A trail map with GPX downloads gives them a reason to bookmark your site and come back every time they plan a trip. It earns links, it ranks, and it builds a community.
DOC data for NZ is just one source. I can build the same thing using US Forest Service, OS (UK), Trails.org, or any public trail dataset worldwide.
Instead of (or alongside) public data, I can map your personally reviewed routes — with your ratings, photos, and notes in every popup.
Add a click-to-reveal elevation chart below the map — showing ascent, descent, and difficulty at a glance for every trail.
Overlay campsites, huts, water sources, and parking — all the practical info that makes readers rely on your site before every trip.
