onX Offroad: Trail Maps & GPS

Side by Side adventure in the mountains of western Arkansas with buddies where there was barely if any signal at times! Some of the guys had other location/trail apps that worked but didn’t show all the trails we were on and didn’t work most times with no signal. OnXoffroad worked every time on the dot! Update: Words above are still true, but doing some looking around at trails in different states that I’m planning on going, the marked trails, green, red/orange, blues some multiple colors on top of each other. There needs to be something in the app telling what that means like a map legend or something. I still love the app don’t get me wrong. Now I have clicked on the different color trails and best I can figure out there are certain dates they are open but still confusing. Guess it doesn’t matter to much because when I do get to get to these areas I’m wanting to go if it’s open it’s open. Just think the app is great showing right where you are even with no signal.

I used OnX Hunt for two years now and love how it works for hunting. Never had any gripes. This app is almost a pure copy of that app but..... That's not a good thing. Needs a few tweaks that cater to the off-roader. Also this is going to stir up some controversy in the riding communities. I live in Michigan. I am looking for a good app for snowmobile trails. When I get on the app you have all the snowmobiling trails labeled well on there but when I sort by rides there is nothing labeled for snowmobiling just all sorts of wheeled vehicles. And in Michigan most snowmobile trails are actually closed to ATV/SxS/ wheeled vehicles. And vice versa for snowmobiles on ATV trails. If someone didn't know any better a person using this app could ride on those trails when they aren't supposed to and risk angering property owners that could revoke access to those trails. Next thing you need is a better layer sorting system here. The hairline dashed trail lines are difficult to see and even more difficult when out on the trails in bright sunlight. I think giving an option to change the lineweight/thickness and color would be a good bet. And if that is too complicated for coding purposes maybe just select a more bold and brightly colored line. I think you guys are on to something great as having a membership for one app that can do all these different hobbies is awesome. Keep up the good work this is on the right path.

Today I got back from a multi-day overland trip that took place near San Diego, CA. I used this app to plan the entire route for the trip as well as to see where I was going. The fact that it has thousands of trails already marked makes it very easy to plan a route. Many trails even have a ton of information about them included when you tap them. Even when there’s trails not ‘officially’ marked, it still has most marked as single/dual tracks. You can add different types of markers and waypoints when planning a long trip, which is very useful as they can become very clustered sometimes. Downloading offline maps has never been easier as well. Just pick an area on the map and boom. In my opinion, best off-road/overland maps platform out there. Far easier to use than popular competitors. Definitely made the annual subscription worth it!

Over the last couple of years I have used a few different apps and dashboard GPS units, and OnX Offroad IS BY FAR THE BEST! The trail detail/information is great - every off-road trail i've looked for is there, with additional information such as difficulty, etc.. Even the extreme trails are there.. The satellite imagery is incredible, the mapping tools are simple to use and the ability to view/edit/create routes on my iPhone, my ipad, or my computer and have them all sync'd is great.. The ONLY thing this app lacks is Apple Carplay compatibility.. If it was Carplay capable and I could view the map on my in-dash Carplay head-unit, this app would literally be the best thing since fizzy beer. So until then, it's only the best thing since sliced bread. Seriously.. I am very happy with this app.

I really want to like this app as the hunting version was a mature product. Map navigation is fast and easy to use. The topo, sat, and hybrid display function is fast. The record your trip function is simple and effective for most applications. Now for the needs improvement. There is no landscape function so if you use an iPad or larger iPhone then you do not have it like other apps. Also the BLM and USFS routes are extremely lacking here in the west. They do a good job mapping the boundaries of those public lands but only seem to display the most improved of those trails/roads. Also many limited use trails in wilderness areas are not marked. Like I said earlier this app is improving and I am anxious to see what they update so I can rate it again.
