Trail tools

Plan before you go

Simple tools for trail planning. They give general guidance only. Always follow your vehicle manual, your tyre maker and local conditions.

Tyre-pressure estimator

Get a starting range to test for the terrain. It is an estimate based on rules of thumb, not tyre-maker data.

Use the number on the tyre placard or in the owner’s manual. Valid range: 20 to 50 PSI.

Terrain

How this is calculated

The tool reduces your road pressure by a percentage range for the terrain: gravel 10 to 20 percent, mud 15 to 30, sand 30 to 45, rock crawling 25 to 40 and snow 15 to 30. For a heavy load the reduction is 5 percentage points smaller. Results are rounded to the nearest 0.5 PSI.

Limits: these ranges are common rules of thumb, not validated against any tyre, vehicle or terrain. No source is cited. They do not account for tyre construction, load rating, temperature or speed. This is not a safe-pressure or safe-speed recommendation.

Trail compass

Uses your phone’s sensors. It needs your permission, works only on devices with a compass sensor and points to magnetic north.

Tap the button and allow motion access when asked.

Calibration and limits

If the heading looks wrong, move your phone in a slow figure-eight, keep it flat and stay away from metal and magnets. Phone compasses can be inaccurate. Do not rely on one as your only navigation.

Trail preparation checklist

Tick items as you go. Your progress is saved on this device only.

Safety notice. These tools give general guidance, not professional advice. Off-roading carries real risk. You are responsible for your own decisions and safety.
