San Antonio Developer Turns the City's Hidden Outdoor Spots Into a Game With Send it! Outside 1.1
Built and launched in San Antonio, the free community map for mountain bikers and hikers now lets locals log a Send, take the crown, and claim the spots they love, from O. P. Schnabel Park to the Leon Creek Greenway.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — November 5, 2026 — San Antonio software developer Collin Beck and his company, Koedal, Inc., today released version 1.1 of Send it! Outside, an iPhone app that helps local mountain bikers and hikers find the city's scenic overlooks, hidden gems, and best photo spots on real trails. The update adds Sends, Jefe crowns, OG Sender badges, and a Dirt Diary, turning San Antonio's community photo map into a friendly competition for the places people love most outside.
Send it! Outside launched in San Antonio, its home city, with more than 80 locations mapped by local riders across parks and greenways such as O. P. Schnabel Park and the Leon Creek Greenway. Instead of a trail list, it is a map of the moments worth stopping for: an overlook, a bamboo forest, a forest swing, a graffiti wall. Every spot comes from a community photo with its exact location, so anyone in the city can find it. San Antonio is the first market; more regions will follow.
New in version 1.1: log the send, take the crown
Version 1.1 gives every spot on the map a scoreboard. The new features work the same on two wheels or two feet:
- Log a Send. Ride or hike up to a spot and log it. A Send only counts within 20 feet of the spot, so every one is earned in person.
- Become the Jefe. Whoever sends a place the most wears its crown. The app notifies riders the moment they take a crown and the moment they lose one, and they can favorite the spot right from the notification to go win it back.
- Earn OG Sender. The first person to put an approved photo on a place earns a permanent OG Sender badge, shown across the app, in their stats, and on every brag they share.
- Keep a Dirt Diary. A running timeline records every Send, photo, and crown won or lost. My Sends totals each person's Sends, unique spots, Jefe Turf, and OG Sends.
- Share the proof. A shareable card shows the spot's photo and the sender's rank, ready for any group chat.
Built for discovery
The core of Send it! Outside is finding places worth the trip, then getting there:
- Discover feed: featured community photos, each with location, trail details, and the story behind the shot.
- Map: photo pins across parks and trail systems that cluster and spread as people zoom, with the selected spot kept highlighted and its altitude shown.
- Search: results across at least 100 miles, with nearby suggestions tuned to where the person is.
- Navigation: one tap opens any spot in Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Trailforks, or copies its coordinates.
- Photo submissions: location, camera, and date are read from the photo automatically, and titles are suggested for the person to keep or clear.
- Favorites and offline access: saved spots and recently viewed content stay available at trailheads with no signal.
- Bigger screens: on iPhone Max and the iPhone Duo foldable, Sends and Search open side by side in landscape.
- Local businesses: nearby bike shops and outdoor businesses appear on the map as sponsors.
Started with one question: "Where is that?"
Founder Collin Beck, a software engineer and father of four, got hooked on mountain biking in 2020 and has ridden with a Friday morning group in San Antonio ever since. In the local MTB Facebook group, every epic photo drew the same first reply: "Where is that?" The answers were well-meaning but confusing descriptions of turns, landmarks, and parking spots.
Phones already record exact location data with every photo. Send it! Outside turns that hidden data into a simple way to share spots, discover new ones, and spend more healthy time outdoors.
"Every great spot on a trail used to live in someone's camera roll or a confusing comment thread. Send it! puts it on the map so anyone can find it. With version 1.1, getting there finally counts: you log the Send, you take the crown, and if you were first, your name stays on the photo."Collin Beck, founder, Send it! Outside

Send it! Outside 1.1 is available now as a free download on the App Store for iPhone. Riders outside San Antonio can join the waitlist to hear when the app reaches their area. Local bike shops and outdoor businesses interested in sponsor placement can write to sponsor@senditoutside.com.
