Trail Mapping Improvements
RTA continues to work on making its website rail trail descriptions more informative.
The latest improvement is be able to better show nearby rail trails when looking at the map on a rail trail description.
Previously the nearby rail trails could only be shown as single markers; now the lines are also shown so the extent of connection can be seen, similar to the main Trail Finder maps.
Don’t forget to try the “Show My Location” function when out on a rail trail.
Note: You will be prompted to log in if not already logged in to use these features.
This is a good time to remind supporters that Rail Trails Australia receives NO government support and we rely on and appreciate greatly your donations.
Despite the huge voluntary contribution, we need to raise money to continue assisting rail trail support groups, backing our great nationwide volunteer network, advocating and promoting rail trails all over Australia and further improving our website.
Please make your tax deductible gift (perhaps before the end of this financial year on June 30) at this LINK to help us to the next level.
You can also make a non-tax deductible donation directly on our website here.
