Map Trekking is a sport based on the use of a map and compass.  Using only the map and compass, how many “checkpoints” can you, or you and your team find?  The checkpoints vary in navigational difficulty and point value - it’s up to you to decide which you want to find.  Whether you treat our events as a family hike or as an extreme endurance test is up to you. 

This is your adventure!

The 2026 season kicks off in January - actually Dec. 20, 2025 in case you want to participate during the holidays! We’re bringing 5 GPS events and 2 in-person events that are co-sponsored with terraloco this year around Northern California.  

For discounted event prices and access to previous year’s GPS events, sign up for 2026 Nav-X membership. On the membership registration, you can also purchase a season pass and have all the GPS event paper maps mailed to you.
