As of 13 Oct 2026
This page maps the organizations across the US and Canada that buy what Mapgears sells, sorted by type, with who usually signs off at each and ten people to start with.
The groups follow your own site: trail associations and the programs that fund trails for MAPGEARS Trails, trail networks, ski areas and outdoor operators for Ondago, and city public works and the waste haulers they hire for MAPGEARS Streets.
The counts below are US only, from public federal business statistics, and rough on purpose. Canadian organizations, nonprofit trail associations and government bodies carry no clean public count here.
US companies by staff size. Canada is not in these counts, and groups run by nonprofits or by government show no clean public count.
| Group | Organizations in the US | Under 20 staff | 20 to 99 | 100 to 499 | 500 or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Snowmobile, ATV and off road trail associations, and the state and provincial programs that fund trails | no clean public count | ||||
| Hiking, mountain bike, cycling and nordic ski trail networks | no clean public count | ||||
| Ski areas and four season mountain resorts | about 300 | about 100 | about 73 | about 100 | about 27 |
| Campgrounds, outfitters and outdoor recreation camps | about 7,300 | not published | not published | not published | not published |
| City and county public works departments that run snow removal and waste collection | no clean public count | ||||
| Waste collection companies | about 7,000 | about 5,800 | about 960 | about 180 | about 57 |
US firm counts by industry code, banded deliberately.
Trail groups buy for their riders and members, cities and haulers buy for their crews, and resorts and parks buy for their visitors, so the person who signs changes with the group.
| Group | Who usually signs off | What they need to hear from Mapgears |
|---|---|---|
| Trail associations and trail programs | The executive director or general manager at an association; the trails program manager at a state or provincial agency | One live map of every trail, closure and groomer pass for staff and riders, with membership, permit and sponsor revenue built in |
| Hiking, bike and nordic trail networks | The executive director; the trails or operations manager | Their paper trail map turned into a branded, geolocated app map they update themselves, with room for sponsors |
| Ski areas and mountain resorts | The general manager; the director of marketing; the mountain operations or ski patrol director | A branded trail map on every phone that works offline, with numbered emergency markers that rescue teams can act on |
| Campgrounds, outfitters and camps | The owner or general manager | Their territory on visitors' phones with trails, points of interest and nearby partners, even out of signal range |
| City public works | The director of public works; the superintendent of streets or sanitation; the snow and ice or solid waste manager | Live street by street progress for plows and collection trucks, proof that contract drivers are working, and paperless billing |
| Waste collection companies | The general manager or district manager; the operations or route manager | Which street segments are serviced, where the closest truck is, and service level proof against the city contract |
Trail associations usually decide in the off season, so a new platform is live before the riders arrive. The executive director takes it to the board, and in many states and provinces a trail program funds the clubs and sets what it wants reported back.
Cities buy through a public process, often with a pilot or a winter dry run first, and the public works director signs with the fleet or IT lead beside them. A hauler running a city contract usually decides at the general manager level.
Ski areas, parks and outfitters tend to move when the paper map is due for a reprint or a safety review, and the marketing and operations leads choose together.
