| File | What it holds | Size |
|---|---|---|
| /data/trails.csv | One row per trail: id, name, country, regions, length, kind, line policy and status. | 15 KB |
| /data/trails.json | Every record in full, as JSON, with the derived fields the site builds. | 371 KB |
| /data/index.geojson | Every included line, simplified to about 100 m, with id and name. | 10.3 MB |
| /data/overview.geojson | Every included line simplified to about 750 m for the overview map, with id, name, kind, country and length. | 261 KB |
| /data/all-gpx.zip | Every GPX file (main lines and alternates, simplified to 5 m), as <id>/<file>, with each trail's release.txt, trails.csv, SOURCES.md and a README. | 6.4 MB |
| /data/all-geojson.zip | Every full-resolution GeoJSON main line and alternates file, as <id>/<file>, with each trail's release.txt, trails.csv, SOURCES.md and a README. | 34.7 MB |
Each line in the archives keeps its source’s terms and needs its source’s credit, as given in the trail’s release.txt; trails.csv gives each record’s licence too.
Per-trail files
Every record has a stable directory. Replace <id> with a record id
(for example long-trail): /trails/<id>/<id>.geojson,
/trails/<id>/<id>.gpx, /trails/<id>/<id>-alternates.geojson (and .gpx),
/trails/<id>/map.json, /trails/<id>/trail.toml and
/trails/<id>/release.txt. The trail page is /trails/<id>/.
Line files exist only where the record includes a line; the record says why when it does not.
| File under /trails/<id>/ | What it holds |
|---|---|
<id>.geojson | The main line at full resolution, as published in the dataset. |
<id>.gpx | The main line simplified to 5 m, for GPS devices. No elevation. |
<id>-alternates.geojson / .gpx | Alternate and connector lines, where the source serves them separately. |
<id>-<source>.geojson | One source's own extract, where a line combines sources. |
map.json | The line simplified to 30 m for the trail page map (GeoJSON). |
trail.toml | The record itself: source, licence, verification, logo and route details. |
release.txt | The source, licence and date the line files came from, where a line is included. |
shield.svg / shield.png | The trail logo, where one is included. Not licensed; see Logos. |
shield-thumb.png | A copy of a PNG logo no larger than 256 px, for the lists. |
