DirtLog is a route-planning and ride-recording app for forest roads and dirt tracks, with offline maps, ride data, 3D playback, and shared route records.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-18 issue.

For: Off-road drivers and riders planning forest-road trips
Worth noticing: Offline map downloads cover a route corridor 500 meters on either side; the browser version cannot record rides or save maps offline.

Field notes

The browser version can view and edit records, plan routes, replay them in 3D, and export video, but cannot record a drive or save offline maps. The iPhone app is described as recording GPS with the screen off, capturing tilt, speed, and elevation, and downloading maps within 500 meters of a route; the page labels App Store availability “coming soon.” Public records are viewable without an account, while sign-in enables cross-device sync.
