Our Vision
BiciMapas was born in 2006 with the idea of sharing mountain bike routes in México. A lot has changed since then and we keep on looking for ways to help you enjoy mountain biking.
We remain Faithful to the slogan in our logo Explore, Discover, Share (Explora, Descubre, Comparte) but now using the current GPS Bike computers technology, from the simple normal ride data, passing through a reliable navigation guide to a virtual trainer to help you improve.
Our Origin
1992
Started riding mountain Bikes. To find routes we used paper topo maps and compass
1994
I got my first GPS, a Magellan 2000 with very basic functions compared with what is available today. Using coordinates, we plotted our location on our paper topo maps.
1999
Started training coursed on maps, compass and GPS use.
2000
The first GPS devices with track creation show in the market, we get one.
2002
The BiciMapas web page is published with images of mountain bike routes and reference points plotted over digital topo maps.
GPS technology starts to bloom
Tracks and waypoints are published in Oziexplorer format, the only program that would read data from the 3 major GPS brands at the time
2004
We started developing GPS.
2006
Our first auto routing GPS map for México was published.
2009
The mainstream GPS brands adopt the GPX file format that allows and facilitates sharing data between brands
2014
The GPX file format usage expands as well as new technologies to share the files.
All our routes are converted to GPX file format and launched our map server. We stopped using the digital topo maps.
