The trails are calling, and now you have even more ways to answer. Release 1.5.0 brings powerful new tools for exploration, customization, and safety—whether you’re planning your route, scanning for weather threats, or sharing discoveries with fellow adventurers.
This release expands both premium and core features to give you more control over your map and a smarter, more personalized trail experience. From live weather overlays that keep you ahead of changing conditions to enhanced sharing that connects you with your adventure community, these updates are designed to enhance every aspect of your adventure.
Stay ahead of the weather with advanced overlays
Weather can make or break an adventure, and now No Roads+ subscribers have access to powerful new weather intelligence. Our advanced weather overlays provide real-time data for the conditions that matter most to off-road adventurers:
Live Weather Tracking: Monitor smoke, fire, and lightning strikes as they happen. These overlays update in real-time, giving you the information you need to make smart decisions about route changes or timing adjustments before you encounter dangerous conditions.
Adventure-Ready Intelligence: These weather overlays provide the environmental data that matters most when exploring remote areas where conditions can change rapidly and impact safety.
Enhanced mapping with detailed layers
We’ve significantly expanded the mapping intelligence available to No Roads+ subscribers with new detailed layers that provide crucial terrain and land management information:
US Protected Lands: Navigate confidently with color-coded boundaries showing exactly which agency manages each area—from National Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to National Parks and local jurisdictions.
Advanced Topography: Access USGS Topographic maps and detailed US elevation data with multiple rendering styles including hillshade composites, slope maps, and aspect maps. England users can also access high-resolution topography from the UK Environment Agency with terrain and surface rendering options.
Comprehensive Legends: Each layer includes detailed in-app legends, so you can quickly interpret elevation changes, slope angles, land management boundaries, and access restrictions without guessing.
Share discoveries with your community
Great discoveries are meant to be shared. This release makes it easier than ever to connect with fellow adventurers by sharing trails, tracks, and points of interest directly through the app.
Seamless Sharing: Found an amazing viewpoint or discovered a perfect campsite? Share it instantly with friends through No Roads. Your shared content appears in their activity feed, making it easy to inspire each other’s next adventure.
Community Connection: Sharing works with your connected friends—adventurers you’ve added and who have accepted your friend requests in the app. This creates a network where you can share discoveries and get inspiration from fellow explorers you know.
Take control of your map
Every adventurer has different priorities, and now your map can reflect exactly what matters most to you. Enhanced map customization gives you unprecedented control over your mapping experience:
Layer Reordering: Organize your map layers to display information in the order that makes sense for your adventure. Move waypoints above weather data, prioritize topography over public lands, or arrange layers however works best for your planning style.
Custom Transparency: Adjust the transparency of individual layers to create the perfect balance of information visibility without overwhelming your map view.
Quality improvements across the board
Beyond major new features, we’ve implemented numerous quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes based on your feedback. These updates ensure a smoother, more reliable experience whether you’re planning at home or navigating in the field.

Adventure planning just got smarter. No Roads+ subscribers can now access our route planning feature in early development. This powerful tool lets you chart your course directly on the map, leveraging No Roads’ comprehensive trail database to visualize your entire journey from start to finish.
