Ford presents a new trail-finding app that is only available for those that own the Bronco SUV, aptly dubbed the Bronco Trail App. It is available for both iOS and Android devices that feature items for off-roading fans. The app is designed to lead drivers to over 1,200 curated professional trails throughout Mexico, Canada, and the US.
Notably, there will be more countries to come and it totals 18,000 miles currently. The maps are able to be filtered by qualities including difficulty, length, location, and much more. It also allows users the ability to save their favorite trails and once one does, they can add mores, photos, waypoints, and reference preferred landmarks. With any lack of cellular service, the app is able to download maps ahead of time.
