I was looking for hiking trails in western PA, and could not find them. Hope someone from BP mag is listening.

Like the rest of you have observed this website is a waste of time! Tried to post a trip, uploaded a gps file and now I can't complete the trip report or even find it! Its a piece of lousy software.

I was able to use it, but it would not let me save the trip I created. Spent all this time maping out a rout to. It would not even take the name of the trip.

Has anyone been able to use the links for any of the 4 options available to create a new trip? I was able to download the application, create a trip, view it on trimbleoutdoors, and view it in google earth. This would be a very cool tool if a few bugs get worked out.

Okay, so i download and try to log in, but my username and passowrd aren't working. I read some of the comments and it looks like I was doing what others were diong to get logged in, but it isn't working. Is it this difficult for everyone??

Was able to download and login. Software isn't anything special. More disappointingly, this website blows. Crashes frequently, it is unclear how to find any hike not 'featured', very poorly functioning

Evidently there are just abunch of people who can not figure out how to login. Just create one and go. I was up and running in under 5 minutes.

I picked up the November issue of BP while traveling, couldn't wait to check out the site. Thanks for the warning, I'm outta here before I get ticked off too! Thanks for saving me from a Trimble waste of time.

This is not even close to working for me. If they are going to put an add in the mag about it they could at least make it work first. Canceling subscription.

This site sucks. If you are not going to make it easy to get or have no intentions of providing it do not promise hike info. Backpacker needs to get away from trimble outdoors they are terrible and so are there products.

um...is there a mac version?

I downloaded the softare, got it to work. But the link to send GPS waypoints to my computer takes me to the profile page.

Bad links.

You have to be a registered user of Backpacker.com and use your user name and password that you login to backpacker.com with for the software.

Was really excited about trying this software out, but I have the same problem it seems everyone else has with this username/password prompt. What gives people?
Posted: Aug 10, 2008 Patrick M

Yeah, same problem. I never gave a password for the tremble thing??????
