What GPSies does

GPSies was a GPS technology solutions provider for outdoor sports, including mountain biking, hiking, running and rock climbing. The firmographic record places the company in Berlin, Germany, founded in 2006, and identifies GPSies as a privately held for-profit entity. No information is disclosed regarding its product architecture, revenue mechanics, or pricing model in the available source material.

Operationally, GPSies.com no longer functions as a standalone destination; the domain redirects to AllTrails (alltrails.com/?referrer=gpsies.com), and the controlling legal entity in the source material is AllTrails, LLC (USA, founded 2010), the operator of a trail-discovery and route-planning platform serving hikers, campers and runners. The redirected platform combines a free consumer app with paid subscription tiers (AllTrails PLUS and AllTrails PEAK) and a partner-collection monetization layer that surfaces sponsored trail guides from tourism boards (Destination Canada, Wyoming Office of Tourism, Visit Florida, Maine Tourism, Discover Puerto Rico) and consumer brands (REI, Hoka, Sweetgreen, Costa, T-Mobile).

The available source material contains no GPSies-specific revenue, headcount trend, funding history, management information, or technology stack detail beyond the redirect observation. The 1-10 employee range indicates GPSies is now a minimal or legacy entity, with the primary operating business, content, and commercial relationships residing under AllTrails, LLC.

Direct peers

• Gaia GPS: Gaia GPS provides offline trail maps, GPS navigation and backcountry route planning for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. It serves the same niche of GPS-enabled outdoor adventure users that GPSies targeted.
• Wikiloc: Wikiloc hosts a community-driven library of GPS-tracked outdoor trails covering hiking, cycling, climbing and more — directly comparable to GPSies' historical multi-sport GPS trail offering.
• Komoot: Komoot is a Europe-headquartered outdoor route-planning and navigation platform for hiking, cycling, and mountaineering — directly overlapping GPSies' core use cases and home market (Berlin/Germany) reach.
• Outdooractive: Outdooractive is a European outdoor platform with route planning, GPS navigation and trail guides for hiking and cycling, overlapping GPSies' original product scope and competing in the DACH region.
• Strava: Strava offers GPS-based activity tracking, route building and community features for running, hiking, biking and more. It targets the same multi-sport outdoor recreation user base GPSies served (mountain biking, hiking, running), with an analogous consumer subscription model.

Emerging players
