I just tried to create a simple map and it didn't work. The first hurdle was finding the appropriate clicks on your website, but even after creating the map it was impossible to view it in any of the available formats. However, you succeeded in getting me to give you my email so you can send me junk email, to which I will be adding BACKPACKER.COM, even though I subscribe to your magazine.

Hi, I have the Backpacker Pro app for Android. How do I save a map for offline use? I will be traveling and will be without data service.
Please advise.
thanks.

Re: Chris looking for Section 1 of the Long Trail (post on 4/16/2012) - the trip is there (backpacker.com/trips/434853). You can just add the "Trip ID" after "backpacker.com/trips/" OR find it visually by clicking on the national map on the front of the "Destinations" part of the website and "drill down" to Vermont and find it there.
Re: Mark F. looking for trip 43669 (post on 11/16/2011) - the trip is there as well (backpacker.com/trips/43699)... You did mean the 6.95 mile hike in Colorado for "Mounts Democrat, Cameron, and Lincoln"... yes?
I hope this helps / makes sense to some of the frustrated people out there... This site is actually the best source for high quality hiking (biking and paddling too) maps that I have been able to find (I am NOT affiliated with the magazine!) - and you don't even have to be a subscriber or pay a fee! AND you can download files for an iPhone, Android phone, GPS phone, to your Backpacker log-in account, to your GPS device, or get a Goggle Earth version of just about every single one of the 3000+ maps.
Now I need to step away from the keyboard and get some fresh air!

YOU NEED TO BE LOGGED IN, Everybody.... Yes, I am "yelling"... I have saved 300+ trips to "my account" and downloaded Google Earth (kml) and GPS (gpx) files for all 300+ trips as well. I DO occasionally get a "bad trip" or "marked private" message (check your trip ID very carefully and retype it) but it is rare - I used to get them a lot more BEFORE I SET UP AN ACCOUNT!!

Or how about following a link ON backpacker.com to a trip and STILL getting the "bad trip," "marked private" message?

I selected region, state, trip, and it tells me "cannot access marked private" even though the trip (section 1 of Long trail for example) were submitted by Backpacker magazine? More frustrating than companies that don't have web sites is companies that have web sites that are not maintained/don't work. can this be fixed PLEASE?

The iPad app seems a whole lot more user friendly. It is strange however that the imagery is more up to date on the iPad app opposed to the website.
