What Off-Road Trail App/Web Page Do You Like & Use?

I’ve been looking at various trail apps in the App Store. I haven’t purchased anything. I would like to get input from users and people here. Most apps offer limited information for free then offer their premium version for varying prices.

Because I’m new to this and a complete beginner/novice certain information is very appealing to me and very helpful. It would be nice to find an app that would grow with me as I gain more experience and knowledge.

The information I have found very helpful:

1. Maps that pinpoint my location, then provide the location and distance to nearby trails. That is, how close the trail is relative to my physical location at the moment.

2. Information about the specific trail and the level of difficulty. Right now I need to see only the beginner trails. The sorting feature is very helpful. I would expand it in the future to see all trails or beginner and intermediate, etc.

3. Social input from other off-roaders who have been on the trail. For example, pictures and comments from other people is very helpful and appreciated. If several people comment the trail shouldn’t be listed as a beginner trail, I will take their advice and choose a different trail.

I downloaded the free trial version of “AllTrails”. I like it but there may be better ones available. The app showed me a few trails that are very close to where I live but it is too hot right now. I’m going north next month to Park City, UT and it appears there are quite a few trails in that area, and it’s much cooler.

 

OnX gets pretty good reviews and there's always some sort of discount. Also they offer a free trial for a week.

 

Thank you. I will head over to the App Store and download it.

 

Subscribe to their emails to see all the deals they offer. Also it works in Carplay and Android Auto so it will display on your screen if you have the capability. Just download the area you're going to.

 

I got the free version and it is perfect. Thank you again.

 

I don’t know why the forum isn’t displaying my vehicle under my name yet. I registered as the new owner of a 2025 Trailhunter. The registry updated successfully but my screen name/tag is the same.

I have never driven off-road. I shouldn’t say never because I have taken two wheel drive vehicles on some roads I shouldn’t have. It’s fun to catch a little air under the car. I do like trying new activities and I’m not terribly fearful. I would say I’m cautiously fearful because I don’t want to pay for a new car. To actually have a vehicle that was built to traverse difficult terrain is exhilarating. Life is good.

I’m eager to do much more but the truck has a pretty steep learning curve. I’ve never had so many techie toys to play with while driving. Within a stones throw from my home in St George UT there are a plethora of off-road trails. Thanks to the app that was just recommend by whippersnapper I found the perfect starter/newbie trail 1/2 mile away. I can literally see it from my home. It is a 1/2 mile long dirt trail, very, very easy. It gives me the opportunity to experience the various drive modes on the vehicle in real time. I need to feel how the vehicle responds and performs to understand it’s capabilities and limits. That’s just my learning style.

 

This section? Mine updated right away. Maybe you need more posts?

 

I told my daughters that when I was little we used to go to the closest AAA office and they would print out instructions and routes for trips (the 70s really). Now, I am convinced that if we take cell phones away from our current generation, they would probably think the world is coming to an end. And won't know what to do. Sorry got off topic, get OnX offroad and be done.

 

#1 in my 'Mapping tab'. Sooo nice to be able to pull up OnX in CarPlay on the head unit display.
