注意(Note)：升级到AllTrails Pro的费用为每年 29.99 美元，或者您可以支付 99.99 美元的终身订阅费用。
1.下载离线地图
大多数户外探险者购买AllTrails Pro的主要原因之一是下载离线地图。
这意味着您可以探索远离任何蜂窝网络的路径。您所要做的就是选择地图名称旁边的小向下箭头图标，将路线图下载到您的手机。
这将打开一个地图图层(Map Layers)窗口，您可以在其中选择要下载的地图样式。然后，当您打开 AllTrails 时，它将访问您的本地地图副本并将您的位置显示为一个蓝点。
只要您的手机电池没有耗尽，您就永远不会再迷路(never get lost)！
2. 访问 AllTrails Navigator
当您拥有 AllTrails Pro时，您会注意到路径卡上的路径标题下方有一个带有Navigate字样的小箭头图标。
一个名为Navigator的便捷功能可让您在旅途中跟踪您的活动(track your activity)。
当您选择Navigator应用程序时，它会打开一个看起来很像Google Maps的地图。您将有机会输入您计划在小径上进行的活动类型，例如远足、山地自行车、跑步等。
然后您会看到地图下方出现一个绿色的开始(Start)按钮。选择此项开始您的活动，AllTrails将根据您选择的操作跟踪时间、距离、海拔增益等。
您可以将这些活动保存到您的帐户并稍后查看。
3. 使用生命线(Lifeline)保护自己的安全
前往荒野通常很安全，但你永远不知道在野外会出现什么问题。狂热的徒步旅行者的最佳做法是在您前往荒野时始终让您的家人或最亲密的朋友保持警惕。(keep your family or closest friends aware)如果您远离电网，则尤其如此。
要启动Lifeline ，请选择(Lifeline)Navigator中“(Navigator)开始(Start)”按钮右侧的灰色小图标。
这将打开生命线(Lifeline)表格，其中预装了您的所有位置和计划（例如您开始和计划完成徒步旅行的时间）。
使用编辑(Edit)链接添加您的安全联系人(Safety Contacts)（家人和朋友的电子邮件地址）。然后，在表格下方，您可以填写要发送给安全联系人的消息，以便他们知道您的 AllTrails 应用程序为何向他们发送您的户外探险详细信息。
Lifeline的重要功能包括：
- (Send)只需轻按一下按钮即可发送状态更新，以便您的联系人可以关注您的进度。
- (Navigator)如果您不小心开始偏离轨道，Navigator会立即通知您。
- (Lifeline)如果您没有在应该结束的活动之前完成活动，生命线会自动提醒您的安全联系人。它甚至会向他们发送您最后一个已知位置。
如果您迷路了，即使您的手机没电了(your phone loses battery power)，知道您最后的已知位置将大大提高搜救队找到您的几率。
4.查看有关跟踪(Trail)条件的实时详细信息
您可能决定不进行有计划的徒步旅行的原因有很多。如果有即将到来的风暴前沿，AllTrails Weather叠加层将让您在它到来之前看到它。如果天气非常闷热，并且当地的空气质量或污染水平很差，AllTrails 会(AllTrails)提供空气质量(Air Quality)或光污染(Light Pollution)覆盖，以便您查看空气是否足够干净，可以进行健康的徒步旅行。
甚至还有花粉(Pollen)覆盖层，因此您可以查看路径上的情况是否会过度加重您的过敏症。
叠加层只是显示在您的路线图顶部的地图层。要在AllTrails Pro(AllTrails Pro)中启用任何这些叠加层，只需点击路径图右侧的两个重叠框图标。
选择(Select)您想在地图上看到的任何叠加层（专业版(Pro)或非专业版）。(Pro)然后，当您选择屏幕顶部的后退箭头时，您会看到这些地图图层出现在您的路线图上。
您可以通过点击相同的图标，然后点击所选的覆盖并取消突出显示来删除任何覆盖。
5.打印(Print Paper Versions)地图(Your Maps)的纸质版本
您可以选择路径名称下的Print/PDF链接以在任何路径上打印路径的纸质副本。
在打印之前，您可以设置比例、方向、网格线、打印布局以及要打印的地图类型。
当您查看路线图本身时，您还可以访问AllTrails Pro打印功能。只需选择地图右上角的小打印机图标即可。
您可以将打印输出发送到打印机以获取纸质副本，也可以将其保存为PDF。如果您保存PDF ，则可以在(PDF)AllTrails应用程序崩溃时将文件传输到您的手机以获取跟踪的备份副本。或者您可以将PDF发送给朋友，这样您就可以在旅途中随身携带一份地图。
6. 不再有广告
(Ads)免费版AllTrails上的(AllTrails)广告会很烦人。因此，您会很高兴地知道，一旦您升级到AllTrails Pro，所有广告都会消失。
当您尝试寻找新的徒步路线或查看地图时，您不必担心会弹出广告。
使用该应用程序时的无广告体验是一种很好的体验。它可以让您专注于您关心的事情，而不会分心。
最重要的是，每次订阅的 1% 都会捐赠给致力于保护地球的非营利组织。
您应该升级到 AllTrails Pro吗？
是否升级到AllTrails Pro是个人决定。但是，如果您花费大量时间在蜂窝信号较差的偏远地区旅行，则AllTrails的(AllTrails)Pro版本将收回成本。您可以随心所欲地旅行，而不必担心您是否能够访问您的地图或路线详细信息。
此外，使用Navigator跟踪您的活动，使用Lifeline确保您远离家乡时的安全，有足够的理由进行升级。
如果您只是偶尔远足或在户外消磨时间，专业(Pro)版可能不值得。但如果你是一个狂热的冒险家，那么这么小的投资就不会出错。
6 Reasons AllTrails Pro Is Worth It for Avid Hikers
Αnyone who has been hiking long enoυgh knows just how popular the hiking app AllTrails is among the hiking community. There are many reasons for this.
AllTrails helps you find the best trails nearby, see reviews of those trails, and keep track of your location while you’re hiking. As useful as the free version is, there are many benefits to purchasing the app’s Pro version.
In this article, you’ll learn about everything you get when you pay for AllTrails Pro so you can decide whether or not it’s worth it for you.
Note: Upgrading to AllTrails Pro costs $29.99/yr, or you can pay $99.99 for a lifetime subscription.
1. Download Offline Maps
One of the main reasons most outdoor adventurers purchase the AllTrails Pro is to download offline maps.
What this means is that you can explore trails that are far outside any cellular network. All you have to do is select the small down arrow icon next to the map’s name to download the trail map to your phone.
This will open a Map Layers window where you can select the style of map you want to download. Then, when you open AllTrails, it will access your local copy of the map and show your location as a blue dot.
So long as your phone battery doesn’t die, you’ll never get lost again!
2. Access to AllTrails Navigator
When you have AllTrails Pro, you’ll notice a small arrow icon with the word Navigate under the trail title on the trail card.
A handy feature called Navigator lets you track your activity while you’re on the trail.
When you select the Navigator app, it’ll open a map that looks a lot like Google Maps. You’ll have the opportunity to enter the type of activity you plan to do on the trail, like hiking, mountain biking, running, and more.
Then you’ll see a green Start button appear under the map. Select this to start your activity, and AllTrails will track the time, distance, elevation gain, and more depending on which action you chose.
You can save these activities to your account and view them later.
3. Use Lifeline to Keep Yourself Safe
Heading out into the wilderness is usually pretty safe, but you never know what can go wrong in the wild. A best practice among avid hikers is to always keep your family or closest friends aware whenever you’re headed out into the wilderness. This is especially true if you’re headed way off the grid.
To launch Lifeline, select the small grey icon to the right of the Start button in Navigator.
This will open the Lifeline form with all your locations and plans (like when you started and plan to finish the hike) preloaded.
Use the Edit links to add your Safety Contacts (email addresses of family and friends). Then, further down the form, you can fill in a message you want to send to your safety contacts, so they know why your AllTrails app is sending them your outdoor adventure details.
Important features of Lifeline include:
- Send status updates with just a tap of the button so your contacts can follow your Progress.
- Navigator will immediately notify you if you start heading off-trail accidentally.
- Lifeline will automatically alert your safety contacts if you don’t finish your activity by when it was supposed to end. It even sends them your last known location.
If you ever get lost, even if your phone loses battery power, knowing your last known location will significantly improve the odds that search and rescue teams will be able to find you.
4. See Real-Time Details About Trail Conditions
There are many reasons you may decide not to embark on a planned hike. If there’s an incoming storm front, the AllTrails Weather overlay will let you see this before it arrives. If it’s a very muggy day and local air quality or pollution levels are bad, AllTrails offers an Air Quality or Light Pollution overlay so you can see whether the air is clean enough for a healthy hike.
There’s even a Pollen overlay so you can see whether conditions on the trail might aggravate your allergies too much.
Overlays are simply map layers that will appear on top of your trail map. To enable any of these overlays in AllTrails Pro, just tap the two overlapping boxes icon on the right side of your trail map.
Select any of the overlays (Pro or non-Pro) that you want to see on your map. Then, when you select the back arrow at the top of the screen, you’ll see those map layers appear on your trail map.
You can remove any overlays by tapping the same icon and then tapping the chosen overlay and unhighlighting.
5. Print Paper Versions of Your Maps
You can select the Print/PDF link under the trail name to print a paper copy of the trail on any trail.
Before you print, you can set the scale, orientation, gridlines, print layout, and what type of map you’d like to print.
You can also access the AllTrails Pro print feature when you view the trail map itself. Just select the tiny printer icon at the upper right corner of the map.
You can either send the printout to your printer for a paper copy or save it as a PDF. If you save a PDF, you could transfer the file to your phone for a backup copy of the trail if the AllTrails app crashes. Or you could send the PDF to a friend so you can both carry a copy of the map while you’re on the trail.
6. No More Ads
Ads on the free version of AllTrails can get pretty annoying. So you’ll be happy to know that once you upgrade to AllTrails Pro, all ads disappear.
You don’t have to worry about ads popping up while you’re trying to find a new trail to hike or while you’re viewing your map.
An ad-free experience while using the app is a nice experience. It lets you focus on what you care about, without distractions.
Best of all, 1% of every subscription gets donated to nonProfit organizations dedicated to protecting the planet.
Should You Upgrade to AllTrails Pro?
Whether you upgrade to AllTrails Pro is a personal decision. However, if you spend a lot of time traveling in remote places with poor cellular signals, the Pro version of AllTrails will pay for itself. You can travel wherever you like, without having to worry about whether or not you’ll be able to access your maps or trail details.
Plus, with Navigator to track your activities and Lifeline to ensure your safety while you’re far from home, there are more than enough reasons to upgrade.
If you only hike or spend time outdoors occasionally, the Pro version may not be worth it. But if you’re an avid adventurer, you can’t go wrong with such a small investment.
