OnX Offroad: Trail Maps & GPS Customer Service

I have been using OnX Off-Road for a year now (Premium), and it has been a great tool for both navigation and trip planning. The map downloading works flawlessly, and the growing list of marked off-road excursions makes it fantastic for finding great spots. Living in the NorthEast, fun trails can be hard to come by, but even in the past year, lots more have been popping up. The photos and description of the trails is great for sizing up your ride. My biggest gripe about the app (which is minor) is that the search function is not very effective. You can find specific locations (coordinates, towns, names of trails or campsites). It would be great if you could search all of the campsites, waterfalls, or gas stations, etc. in a certain area, and they would be highlighted and compiled into a list. This would help out when planning a ride. Instead, I currently use other apps or maps to find these spots, then add waypoints in OnX. All in all, fantastic app that is an affordable and effective way of navigating in the backcountry and finding awesome spots that match your skill level and off-road setup.

I got this app a year ago, and absolutely love it, I use it all the time in my personal life and sometimes even at work. The integrated private land plat is a fantastic feature for my research and planning for my general exploring, especially in the midwest where public land is scarce, and you have to find cool rough county roads that are designated public via the plat lines. There is a few features the app could have moving forward but in the year I've been using the app and talking with support and development, they are very focused on refining the app at all times. At the end of the day they are offroaders at heart too and want other offroaders to find success and fun outdoors, the bonus for them is that you use their app to help you get there, but that bonus is mutual because it is a valuable tool. This app will save a day or two a long the way if you use it long enough, I went to a trail in the East TN Appalachian Mtns. and the first choice I went to was closed (Hope they add a check in feature to help prevent this later on down the road, I believe they will). So I pulled up the app found another trail within 10 miles away, rerouted and still enjoyed my day offroading, there was very little service in this area too and the offline map I saved of the area backed me up and made sure I still made it despite the bad service. If you intend to offroad anywhere from a handful of times a year to every weekend or even more, On X is worth having.

I love this app. I have been using it since they first released it and it has never let me down. I was invited out to the Mojave Desert for a few days of wheeling and I couldn’t turn it down. I had to meet the group up later on due to work schedule, but that wasn’t stopping me from going out there alone. You see I had the OnX app. We took off into the night just my dog and I, to find the group on the outer edge of the preservation. We found them no sweat and set up camp for the night. The following day, the group organizers were explaining to everyone a few of the do’s and don’ts for the trip. I came to realize about 80 percent of the convoy had no idea where we were going. It was an amazing feeling to be able to have the confidence to know where I was going. It was miles of empty desert in every direction. It’s intimidating when you don’t know your bearings and everything looks the same. With the onXoffroad app there was no worry of getting lost. Another great feature is the ability to record your location and the exact trail or path you drove. If you need to double back to the beginning. Or if you enjoyed the trip that much, you can always go right back to where you started. This app is definitely worth the money if you regularly hit the dirt. FOLLOW FULLSENDCHEVYS on INSTAGRAM!!!!

Just like my onX hunting app that I have had for many years. I just purchased a newer Jeep and the off road app has a ton of options. And if you are smart enough to download a bunch of maps in the offline section. That way when and if you just so happen to get into an situation that you have no signal. In the offline mode you are able to use the app without even noticing that you are offline with no signal. It’s truly amazing what the app is able to do. Online or offline won’t make a difference!!! Definitely worth every penny!!! Specially if you spend any time off-road. And did I mention that the app will let you know who owns the land with contact info and property lines that are very accurate!!! And that is a valuable feature!!! Specially if there is someone that is trying to tell you that you are trespassing. And when you show them your onX app and the property owners name and contact info. And there jaw hits the ground. 😉🥸Lol. Or you look at your app and and catch the land owners name. You then ask them if they know such a suchs name. Then they assume that you know them. Well to rap this up. I can not say enough good things about this app and the onX hunting app!!! Be safe and have fun!!! 🛻🛻🛻🚔🚔🚔

I recently purchased OnX Offroad. I probably messed it up but when got my first bill it was monthly and twice the amount I signed up for. I called Customer Support and spoke with Lindsay. I could not believe the great experience I had with Lindsay helping me. She was scratching her head at first at my mess then she figured it all out and straightened it up. All the while we had a great conversation and it really made the whole experience a wonderful part of my day. Lindsay asked if I wanted the Hunt or the Off-road and I told her I wasn’t sure about the difference between the apps. She gave me a free month of Hunt to compare the two. I left our conversation feeling as though I was a valued customer who had been helped by an OnX employee who actually cared about how I viewed their products, their support and their company. I felt like I had met a new friend, which in this day and age is not usually how I leave interactions with companies. It was refreshing. Because of Lindsay I will be telling my family and friends about OnX. Not only does it have great tools to help me when I’m fishing, hunting or out exploring, the customer service is top-notch. That means a lot to me. Thanks Lindsay.

I had some issues with the fact that I accidentally created two two accounts, one on the iPhone and one on my computer. I didn’t realize what I had done and was confused by the problems I was having. One email to the onX folks was all it took to get attention and get it straightened out. There were a few back and forths that ended up with them treating me very well and even sending follow up emails to make sure all was well. Great people to deal with! As far as the app itself, I’m still trying to figure out all of the nuances and particulars but I’m really liking it. I have the Elite version and love all the information it gives you. There’s plenty of resources online both from the OnX folks and the community. Outside of the trails everyone raves about(and rightly so) it’s enjoyable to just use while traveling. Running it on my phone concurrently with a map app Apple CarPlay in the car gives you a great amount of information about the area around you. Or, with a flip of a button on your phone you can have it load up in CarPlay and have it on the “big screen” in the truck. I can’t recommend this app enough.

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.

This app is amazing. We rented some SxS’s for a trip up to the mountains in northern Arizona and finding user friendly maps thru the Forest Service websites is impossible. I stumbled upon this app and man am I so happy I did! I was immediately able to see all trails in our area and get detailed info on the trail itself. My fiancé is always afraid we will “get lost” out in the woods and it can make for stressful rides. However, with this app her fear was totally gone! We were EASILY able to track our trail on the map, follow the trails, see where we were, distance traveled, locate numerous trailheads and staging areas, see and find where trails met up, ect. We were pretty deep in the mountains and woods and we were 100% offline with no service and able to still easily see all this info with the freaking amazing ability to still use the trail maps and tracking while offline with no service. This app made our trip and our rides SO enjoyable. Thank you for the awesome app! Made our outings awesome! This is DEF a keeper. We will be using this every time we go riding for sure.

I have been using onX Offroad for nearly two years now, using the free version at first then onto the upgraded Elite membership. I can’t say enough about how great this app has been to use, from its intuitive interface all the way down to the level of understanding this developer has with respect to user needs and experience. Some of my favorite features are: 1) the clear demarcations of public vs. private land; 2) ability to download very detailed map sections for offline use; 3) the simplicity of route planning; 4) the real time forest fire notifications; 5) the seamless uploading of GPX coordinates and pre-planned routes. This list can go on and on… I know other apps have some of these features but I have not found another app to integrate them all so well on one platform. I just wish there were more trails marked on the east coast but it seems like that is a work in progress and will largely be dependent on user input. Download this app then get out there and explore!

We have had this app, Elite membership for 3 years and I couldn’t imagine not having it! If you love camping, hiking, or exploring off road this app is a MUST. I even canceled my All Trails app because OnX shows you everything you need to go exploring, though they could expand on a hiking portion of the app but it shows you trails that don’t even exists on hiking apps. We find camping spots and all sorts of things to discover. We love being able to download whole area maps for endless exploring even without service. We haven’t been let down or lost once! All the features and settings to find exactly what you are looking for. The best part is every year they make upgrades and add information. The best part is if you even contact customer service you talk to a real human not AI and they are so accommodating and easy to work with! 5 stars! Thanks OnX for all the great adventures so far and to the many more to come! 🥂

This has been a great. I travel cross country as a National Park Service employee. Instead of paying 100+ dollars per night at a hotel, I like to camp between my summer destinations. This app allows me to find a legal and out of the way place to camp both in both my travels to different parks, and during the months I’m working at those parks. I also have the paid version of Gaia GPS. Gaia GPS is also a great app and a little cheeper but onX Overland offers way more and is a little more up to date. You can creat waypoints, filter out trails that your vehicle definitely won’t go on, and plan entire trips with ease. The few gripes I have about this app is not every trail has photos of the trail and it’s a bit expensive. With that said the positives of this app definitely out weigh the negatives. If you travel a lot and prefer camping over hotels, or you just like adventures and getting out on the trail, then this is the app for you.

Been using the app a good 3 years now both summer and winter. It's pretty good with forest roads I would say over 95 percent of the time it's right on. I ran into few times it's off or trail not on it. The tracking feature is great when in new area that has a lot of off shoots and most of the forest roads are not marked or not readable. I use it in winter time too with the snow machine on my iPad , only issues is keeping it warm enough since cold will kill the battery fast. Always have a back up like paper maps since it's limited to electronic that can fall...had it happen but was able to backtrack from where we were at. The way point feature is nice too I can mark certain locations and add a picture, that way can always come back to that spot quicker. I have the hunt app and use that too and add picture of whatever I scouting or just want to remember where that bear or buck or bull elk was.

I’m an older gentleman and in the past I would avoid going off-road to far, because of my lack of confidence when navigating trails and getting lost. The older I get, the more I question my abilities. I’m no good navigating with a gps or any other kind of technology, and tried many ,only to be frustrated time after time, after all I was taught paper maps , it’s all we had. I looked at Onyx and downloaded the app, once again expecting to delete after a few attempts, as I’ve done with many others. I used the Tracking feature and loved it. That alone was worth it for me. I watched a few videos about route building, offline maps etc. and am getting much better with it. It’s easy and extremely accurate. I have regained my confidence in my navigating skills and can’t wait for this years trip out west. Thanks you guys/gals, my future trips look much brighter!

Bought the app and haven’t been more happy with a trail map. Offline downloading works nice. Being able to pin locations and color coordinate is a big help. Plus the trails mapped out are really easy to see and plan a route. It is still a decent idea to have Gaia to cross reference with with a Nat geo map to see if a trail is gated or is actually accessible. Love that there are updates coming out with additional trails and info for areas. Very nice that the community can add photos and recent trail conditions to maps out trails so anyone looking to do popular trails and research before planning a trip. Only thing I’m hoping to see be added is the ability for the app to be used on a CarPlay radio. Currently just have it on my phone mounted to by dash but if it could be on the radio would be very convenient. Still a 10/10 app and wouldn’t be able to explore as much without it and know I’m going somewhere I won’t be let down by.

This is without a doubt the best app for off roading. I use it in my jeep through car play, my ATV, and my dirt bike. The ATV and dirt bike are where the solvable challenges arise. I’m happy seemingly the entire off road community has accepted to adopt this to keep refining. When on the dirt bike, I’m limited to a phone screen. Not an 8.4”+ vehicle double din in an air conditioned cabin out of the direct sunlight. Routing…. Keep it on the trails please? It’s an off road app. Why when I route to a waypoint/coordinates does it route me through some trails, then to a main road, then back on trails. When trails connect from A-B labeled in the app? I’m on a dirt bike. It’s not street legal. Can we get a checkbox to route on trails only or something like that? Like a “prefer trails for routing”. Why is the routing line a thin black one? Think about how hard that is to see when the sun is washing out your screen AND you have a bright, thick, red tracking line competing with your thin black routing line? Can we get the ability to change line colors to add more contrast? Or just disable the visual tracking breadcrumb line?(still need higher contrast routing line) Imagine a 100 degree day in direct sunlight in mountainous terrain on a dirt bike, wearing gloves, and navigating 10-30 miles following what’s on your phone screen because you have no idea where you are. 5 stars when that works perfectly. Currently it requires a lot of stopping, gloves off, zooming in and out, and resetting.

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.

I recently signed up with onX and also applied for the free one week trial. It was during that time that we went through our first hurricane and were flooded with 7’ of water. I somehow remembered to call and cancel my membership as I didn’t know when I’d be able to use it again. I was told that not only would they put my membership on hold until I requested it to be activated but that they wanted to give me two years free!!! I don’t know bout you, but I’m not used to receiving news like that in this day and age! I AM IMPRESSED! Fast forward through another hurricane, we had our first chance to get way and try the app this week and we’re more than impressed! It was very accurate and helpful since we were in a place we’d never been or even seen on a map before. Needless to say I’m hooked! Cam Gause Weeki Wachee, FL

I have used ONX for over a year and after using other apps this is my first choice. The best thing about it is the newest update that rates each trail and road by using color coding. While using another app I was led unknowingly into a trail near Moab, Utah called Pritchett Canyon. This trail is WAY beyond my skill level and I was very lucky to get through uninjured. With ONX the same trail is clearly marked in red which tells me it is extreme. On the other app it was indicated exactly the same as the road I traveled on with my motorhome, so I had no way to know how extreme it was. This kind of mistake will never happen while using ONX. I am a happy user of ONX forever. The customer service is also great. They have a phone number on their site,(unlike most other apps), and you speak to a real person almost as soon as it rings. This is a great app well worth the money.

This app is one of the most awful apps from UX perspective. Functionality is great with nice maps but I am paying for Alltrails over this because of how awfully this works. If they would fix this I would swtich as this has slighly better maps for offline 4x4. But till that.. I am not paying for a company cheap enough not to hire designers. E.g. going into search mode takes almost a minute (On Ipad), search results are not sorted and I cannot sort. Cannot search for trails but roads only then I have to click on the road - show nearby trails. I cannot hide annoying temperatures. I set metric units and still see Farenheit. So few options when search (free text and thats is). 2 stars for the great maps and the community who is uploading photos and reviews (not that big) at least in my area.

When I started off-roading I used a system others in the club were using. Unfortunately the app combined hiking/backpacking and off-roading together, which is confusing for me. Fast forward a few years, I started looking an other options dedicated to off-roading. onX Offroad meets and exceeds what I was looking for. Easy to use, organize your tracks and provided a system to create your own tracks. I appreciate their approach in creating different apps for each activity. In addition, onX Offroad customer support is second to none. Have an issue or concern call, email or chat and you will be provided a solution. And they follow up with you to ensure that you are satisfied. Hopefully CarPlay will improve to allow you to use all the tools available on the iPhone/iPad on CarPlay.

I travel a lot for work using a variety of vehicles to get into back country areas on public land. I use onX off-road and hunt to know what I am getting into so I don’t break my equipment. I also am an avid off-roader in my personal time and have used onX off-road in 16 different states and have enjoyed the info that they provide when I get to a new area. They give me the confidence when I get to a new place about what trails I can hit without having to track down all the local knowledge before getting out on the trails. I look forward to using onX in the future. I would like to see a way to link accounts across hunt and off-road along with having a way local off-road clubs could add contact info (if they are willing) so folks new to the area could reach out with questions.

I use OnX Offroad all the time — for off-roading, hunting, and in my job in law enforcement in an area that borders a WMA. I rely on it frequently when I’m chasing or searching for people in the WMA, and it’s incredibly useful for marking creek crossings and tracking my path so I can find my way back to my vehicle without any confusion. The property boundaries are accurate, the trail info is dependable, and offline maps have saved me countless times when service drops out. Waypoints, tracking, and map tools are all easy to use and genuinely practical in the real world. If I could change one thing, I’d make it easier to submit trails for review so they can be officially added faster. Other than that, this is hands-down one of the best apps you can have if you spend a lot of time outdoors.

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!

We went looking for a particular trail in Southern California, and could not find the trailhead so downloaded this app. We proceeded to drive at least four hours in. Then the real problem came. No cell service and trails going every which way. No idea how to get back and no one around. Getting dark and cold. Another rig rolled down the cliff, laying on its side. Nobody in it. Scared the —- out of us. This app put a blue line on the map, just like we were navigating to Starbucks in town! Rookie mistake by a self proclaimed rookie, but I would highly recommend that you download this before you go exploring. Our bodies would probably still be out there being eaten by birds if I didn’t have it! :-) I don’t know if there are other similar options, but this one works great for me, so I’m keeping it!

Like many of you, I began out using the National Forest Service maps that I would get every few years when they would update it. As mobile apps began to pop up for off-road mapping, none of them them could do it really well. Then onX Offroad: Trail Maps & GPS came on scene. The off the grid tracking has worked perfectly. It is incredibly easy to save your routes and to access them. I love being able to insert photographs along the route, as well as add notes etc, that way as I use them again or send them to others we have visual references. With the new ability to download the maps for off Grid use is very helpful. It’s just the perfect app for going off road. I’ve never Jeep’d by a trail that wasn’t on my app. Highly recommended.

I’ve sold this app to soooo many people, I should be getting commission! I absolutely love it. We’ve explored so many new places we would have never known existed without this app. I wish I could give it 5 stars, but you gotta fix this problem: I’m going out on a limb here and guessing most people are using this app on a iPhone or iPad. I’m also guessing most people mount those devices sideways, especially considering most mounts will only take the device sideways. That is where the app needs help. For me, as soon a I “Record My Track” and secure my iPad in its mount (sideways), my track is off, it shows me pointing in a different direction, and lags. Following the route becomes confusing. PLEASE FIX THIS! Like I said, I love this app. I’ve tried several others, and this one is by far the best.

Since purchasing our latest jeep, my wife and I knew we would be traveling throughout the country, looking for places to do mile to moderate off highway driving. OnX Offroad has allowed us to find trails in 10 different states in the last three weeks. Over the next three weeks will be traveling through another 11 states and while we will not be off Roading and all of them, we will be looking to do off highway exploring in several of them, including Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and North Carolina on ex allows. Us to find trails. Gives us a pretty accurate idea of what to expect (except in Utah, the trail ratings are lies in Utah.) we can’t say enough really nice things about onX Offroad. Glad we have it really we are.

Went on a week long journey of overlanding and camping. The app is very useful because it allows you to find dispersed camping areas. Whats the point of going to a campground and paying high camping fees when u can venture out and find your own lil slice of heaven? I hate driving several hours to a destination and then find out your neighbors are a bunch of loud drunk idiots playing their stupid music. With this app, u can go anywhere. Build your own routes and discover hidden gems along the way. Inoive in Cali, so wild fires are unfortunately a common occurrence. The app lets u see the affected areas from fires so u can avoid it or change plans on a dime. Theres no other app i would use other than On X . Get it! You wont be disappointed.

Complaint: While recording tracks, the app would crash constantly. You could usually pick up where you left off, but occasionally all your progress would be lost. That being my only complaint, I have used this app every time I go out exploring. I use the version that shows land owners which is helpful while trying to find dispersed camping. The offline maps work beautifully and I’ve found some INCREDIBLE spots to camp for a night. Suggestion: I also like being able to post updated reviews of OHV trails and forest service roads, but I wish I could share publicly when there’s a closed gate or other barrier. This would have saved me countless miles on some trips. Consider implementing a user-dependent feature (like WAZE does for reporting stalled vehicles or the 5-0) that allows us to share closed gates, barriers, or flooded/impassable water crossings and when other users come up on the area they can confirm that it is still closed, or is instead open. OnX has proven to be an invaluable tool thus far and I’m happy to continue with my subscription. I’m hoping to have many more safe and successful adventures with its use!

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.

OnX Offroad has completely changed the way I plan and enjoy my adventures. Whether I’m mapping out a new overland route, hitting the trails with my rig, or just looking for a place to get off the grid, this app has become my go-to resource. The addition of the dispersed camping filter was a total game-changer—it’s what took this app from great to essential. I used to spend hours piecing together info from random websites or forest service PDFs. Now, with one tap, I can find legal, remote places to camp—right from the map. Pair that with public land overlays, trail status, and offline maps, and it’s basically perfect. That said, no app is flawless. There are occasional hiccups with trail accuracy or closures not being up to date—but honestly, I’ve noticed the developers are incredibly responsive and usually fix these issues quickly once reported. Their support and update pace really shows how much they care about the off-road community. If you’re into off-roading, overlanding, or dispersed camping, OnX Offroad is hands-down worth every penny. It’s like having a backcountry expert in your pocket.

I’ve been riding off road for over 60 years. Started back in the days when we used the sun to guide us! Then we moved on to DeLorme maps which was a big improvement. Now we have GPS with all the capabilities we could ever ask for. I’ve used four of the best mapping software packages available and concluded OnX is by far the easiest and most advanced there is available in todays market. I’m 78 years old and I still enjoy the great outdoors. Even more now than ever thanks to OnX and my transition from 2 wheels to 4 wheels. OnX makes it so easy to create a map, then change it on the fly. Share it with friends, pinpoint whatever you want, never get lost etc. what more can I say, I love it!

Overall this is a great app! Easy to use and it works well on an iPad. I have two issues that would be an easy fix. The iPad is mounted in landscape mode on the dash of my SxS. When I start OnX Off-road, it comes up in portrait mode (sideways) when the iPad is in landscape mode, and the iPad has to be unmounted from the dash, rotated around until the app flips to landscape mode, then remounted on the dash. Please have the app detect the mode of the iPad and start in the appropriate mode, landscape or portrait. The second issue is that when the app is in landscape mode, the menu selection and buttons disappear from the screen so you lose functionality. Please have a selectable option so people can choose to keep the menu and buttons on the screen in both landscape and portrait mode. Other than these two things, I really like the app and it works great for trail riding in my SxS. A nice feature to add would be crowdsourcing the trail info so the maps can be updated easily. There are several trails in my area that have changed and it would be nice to be able to ride the new trails and upload the data to be integrated back into the app.

This is the first time I used the tracking feature (breadcrumb trail) while visiting a cousin up in Canada. We rode some trails near Dundurn Saskatchewan and they varied from gravel roads to double track grass, rutted dry dirt and some deeper sand areas. Mostly level but some hills and more challenging sections. General easy to intermediate difficulty. All dry and no slick mud or water holes. Weather was cloudy and excellent temps from 65 to 75F. Overall a great ride through beautiful farmlands with creeks and rivers in the area. Didn’t need to download an offline map because we had cellphone coverage. The app with the satellite view was easy to use and easy to plan the next road without trespassing on private property.

I’m a big map guy and used to work in the GIS industry, so I was skeptical before I started my trial of the quality of geospatial data they have. I’m quite nit picky when it comes to paying for apps, but this the only subscription I’ve ever paid for an app for my phone. It has a huge array of helpful features, and it’s obvious from using it that the people who worked on this app truly care about making it the best experience possible for the user. I hadn’t even finished my 7 day trial yet before I decided to purchase the subscription. I haven’t used it outside of FL yet, but so far the quality of data is quite high. This app is definitely a must-have for off-roading.

Loving it

We have used this as our primary navigation source while traveling through B.C. . OnX offroad is the great for pre trip planning and finding those spots less traveled.

Very good, only App that I tell my friends about and able to show them how easy it is to use and how to share your tracks. Super bon, seule application que je dis à mes amis(es) d’utiliser pour leur besoins de navigation

We travel about 6 months a year in our EarthRoamer. We have a YouTube Channel where we share our journeys. We use OnX Offroad all the time to find routes that are off the beaten path and that we can suitably take our bigger rig. We used to use other apps, but now use OnX exclusively to find suitable routes. Love the app. Check out EarthRoamer Roaming Chronicles on YouTube. We promote OnX all the time and would love to be sponsored.

Would be nice if a description of the features or changes for each update would be provided.

Fantastic layout and very user friendly. The support is awesome and the beginner and advanced master classes are great! Just wish there was better support for all features for Canada.

Easy to follow loads of information

When you zoom in to see a trail number the number gets covered up by the trail image. Please put the number above or below, OR better yet, have the trail number get larger as you zoom in. Secondly, when you create a route and colour it “yellow” for example, when you download it and “navigate” the route colour turns to blue which is very confusing when you’re already amongst blue trails. Thank you

The customer service from the OnX team is outstanding! The off road maps are easy to follow and the ability to mark your route is amazing. Being a novice, onX maps has given me confidence while on the trails.

Very cool

Love this app

I’m using OnX off-road for finding my way through crown land with no cell service. I load the maps at home I’m going to be and am able to navigate fairly accurately through the bush.

I’ve had onX Offroad for over a year now with several forest service road trips. A fantastic app to discover routes, along with user uploaded photos to have an idea of what the trail is like. A must have for off road veterans or new adventure seekers.

After watching a couple of YouTube videos on how to create offline maps and also track my route this app was super easy to use and helpful for us navigating our way into the wilderness and then get back to our starting point at the end of the day. Very impressive technology and remarkable graphics. Highly recommend.

Best mapping app out there!

I started using onX Offroad almost by chance, but now I can’t do without it. The ease of use, simplicity, and speed with which you can find trails are impressive. I really appreciate the attention to detail, the passion, and the continuous updates the team keeps putting into it Good job guys

Had a very small issue paying from Canada. I reached out to ONx to help facilitate a discounts offer from them. Discount can’t be applied and then paid on Canadian accounts. ONx emailed back with a solution that was up and beyond what I was expecting. Fantastic customer service.

I have really enjoyed using the app in Canada. All the trails have been true. Just one quirk would be when I download an offline map I can no longer use it in 3D when I am offline. Other apps I have used in the past have allowed me to use 3D when offline.

Great so far. Easy to use and map quality is great.

Easily find campsites hidden among private properties.

I believe it will get better with time. Great for finding new or abandoned trails to go explore. Strongly recommend for anyone interested in going off road. Tracking works great. Lacking trails in Quebec but I still managed to find some cool ones.

I was able to download my entire dirtbiking area and it only took up 1 gigabyte! Love this app and i would have gotten lost many times without it😁

I have been using OnX for a few months now, I mainly use it for off-roading and recently planned a week long overland trip which turned out great. The issue I find the most disappointing is using the app with my IPad. Sometimes I use it on my phone but when I am planning a trip zooming in and out to find trails I use my IPad. I use it like I would a computer and always have it in landscape mode. What I do not understand is why I cannot use the route building features in landscape mode. It’s like the app was built only for a phone. I have a keyboard attached to the IPad and when I am trying to build a route I have to turn the IPad up to do so. I still like the overall features of the maps, the content but I would like to see the app function fully not matter what way I orient the device I am using. Also when it is in landscape mode I cannot highlight a waypoint or a route and see the details of either one, I have to turn the device to see those details, or to see “my content.” I love route building for any of our off-road adventures but having to spend hours and hours building a route having to use my IPad like a phone is very tedious and makes me question weather I will renew the app when the time comes. Please consider fixing or changing this issue. The app is great, the content is great, everything functions as it should on the road and trail. Please make it easier for the user when planning trips from home. I don’t have a computer anymore, I use a tablet as my computer with a keyboard, like many people do these days. I do not see why the interface would be set up this way. I will continue to work with the app the way it is and consider which mapping app works best in this way when the time comes to renew or switch to something else. Thank you.

I used onx off-road for almost 2 years had multiple offline maps and a couple hundred pinned locations and I used the monthly subscription which was one of the reasons I went with onx in the first place and I had no complaints up until a few months ago I noticed I couldn’t use my offline maps or create more updated the app still didn’t work well I went on with my trip in hopes I didn’t lose service and figured I’d deal with it when I got home and forgot about it a couple months goes by and I go to use it again and same thing so I reach out to customer service and they let me know they quit doing the monthly subscription so apparently they just don’t let anyone know and continue to charge them. Well the guy was doing his best to help me fix my account he said they gave me a free year which still never showed up so he told me the best thing would be to start a new account with a different email. Which I would then lose all the data I had saved which I get it I can’t count on it forever just a little shady to me to end a subscription yet still charge people. For the price of the yearly subscription I’d just go with Gaia GPS same price if not cheaper and way more features! Sorry onx

I’m really not seeing a way to filter out all the highway registered vehicle “off-roading” roads. Pretty frustrating to say the least that I’ve paid for an app that, in theory, should be able to tell me trails on the map I can actually take my side by side on and not get in trouble. I wanted to take my 4 day weekend and venture beyond the areas I am familiar with. I’m zooming in to click on every part of a “trail” that’s broken up into half mile pieces. A complete headache and waste of my time. And scroll through all the supposed information you provide only to find most of the “trails” you show on the map are in fact roads only open to highway licensed vehicles if it even has that information listed. In spite of the fact that it also shows that the same “trail” is accessible by dirtbike, sxs, quads. I think it is incredibly deceptive to market this as an off-roading app and not give the user the ability to filter for actual off-road trails for off-road machines. Which I thought was a reasonable expectation on my part. Also, pretty expensive subscription for an app. You got this chumps change, but not again.

$15/mo is steep for user submitted trails and scraped property content. Worth it though for my first time out. The UI is nice, and navigation was superb, as well as route building. However, Ii did crash upon my first trail conditions report. Drove two trails my first time using the app and GPS was perfect. Submitted trails cannot be re-rated — and all were rated either easier or harder than the actual conditions. I cannot trust this for trail planning without other resources. Some condition reports were many months out of date, so usage is spotty in less traveled areas. The app should show the age of ratings and what season they were captured. Probably want a local and up-to-date guide as an addition to this. Seasons in Sedona/Grand Canyon area will drastically change trail ratings and the app should have a way to report/update them. Also desperately needs an Apple Car app so I can glance at my car’s HUD rather than my phone.

The App seems to function well in vertical mode on a device in horizontal mode it’s like all GPS apps, you lose 90% of the functionality. Most people that use these off-road for side by siding especially people with a Can-Am Maverick x3 with a factory tablet hold. We know that the tablet is meant to be in the horizontal position. With this app like many, you can not touch a waypoint you have already set and get the info or drop down. You lose the function bar at the bottom in horizontal view that you see in the Vertical view. I think If you change or rotate the device I think the app should stay the same. Kind of disappointed because I paid the money to use this in our SXS and the functionality is gone how we intended to use it. The device we have iPad 10.5 will not fit in the tablet holder in the vertical position. Please if you can change this and I would be willing to re-rate my review. Also are you planning on a snowmobile version of this? Thanks.

I primarily got this app so I would have maps offline when exploring remote areas. Maps are great and I especially like layers for private and public land property borders plus where dispersed camping is allowed. However, downloading and keeping offline maps updated is a real headache plus they block iCloud backup. You must select each offline map boundaries individually, and they have limited size so if your trip covers a large area you may have dozens of these maps that you must zoom in and select and make sure they overlap slightly to not lose coverage. There is no option to just download maps for an entire state, county, or even national or state park. On top of that, you must select low, medium, high resolution for the maps, and if you want high resolution you may have hundreds of these maps since the allowed download area is very small. And good luck keeping track of what resolution maps are downloaded. I tried creating a grid system for myself to download the maps, but it is very tedious. But the real serious problem is with iCloud. onX will automatically include all your offline maps in iCloud backup with no option to exclude offline maps from backup. It took me a while to figure out the problem. iCloud backup would start by taking many hours, then many days, and finally fail. I went 5 months without being able to backup my iPhone or iPad. I have other apps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, ForeFlight, and many others that have dozens and even hundreds of offline maps and iCloud backup works wonderful, never had backup fail or take a long time. That is because those apps do not include offline maps in iCloud. And why would you waste your iCloud storage on maps that can easily be restored from the internet? I finally did find a way to turn off iCloud backup for onX completely, and afterwards the iCloud backup for my other apps ran quickly. But now I get iCloud warnings that onX is not backed up. A rookie programming error that brings into question how this app passed scrutiny to make it into the app store.

I use OnX off-road exclusively when riding in Western Arkansas as well as for hunting. This deer season, I travel down a road/trail that is on OnX maps, as I had for years. This road is now closed; with NO closure sign, gate or earthen mound. I parked and proceeded to hunt. I received a $230 fine for having my SXS on this trail. I showed the officer the map, he said it’s the wrong map. I showed him the road is not closed on Avenza either, nor on the Forest service map that I carry. The US Forest Service Officer stated that the only up to date map is the MVUMs (motor vehicle usage maps). ONX-off-road and Hunt apps need to ensure their customers are provided with the most up to date and reliable maps. They should ensure that they are using the appropriate MVUM or have a KEY to show which trails have been verified to be open and which have not. Otherwise there’s no real reason to pay for an app that is gonna lead you down a trail to a $230 fine.

I paid the $30 for this app and it’s not great but just ok. Very frustrated that the first thing you see when you pay the $30 is that you should have paid the $99 if you actually want to use the app lol. I wouldn’t recommend this app unless you plan on paying the $99 and even then I’m not so sure it’s worth it. Especially since you have to pay $99 every year! Way too much money if you ask me. I will not be continuing my subscription next year. I live in Utah which is home to ATV and UTV trails and the first time I used the app I ended up in a dead end River bottom. I’m sure it’s not the apps fault but I wish it were user friendly and a way to see where you are on a map without cell service. This is useless when in the mountains. Maybe I should have paid the $30 and an additional $99 to have this feature??

After encountering so many advertisement campaigns, I finally decided to give this app a try. I was hoping that the misery of the performance of regular navigating apps during offloading would be over with this. Unfortunately, the app performance was not just as miserable, but even worse than mainstream navigating app. During freeway driving, it constantly wanted me to take the off ramps only to immediately take the on ramp and get back on freeway. I was hoping to get to bear lake near Tahoe in California. The app suggested that the road and trail are all open. But right off the highway 89, the Barker Pass Road gate was closed! Hours of planning and driving got wasted just like that. I’ll cancel my subscription. What is the actual use for this app if it’s gonna be like other on-road apps, but even worse?! The next day I called Lake Tahoe Basin Management and they confirmed that the closure is the normal yearly schedule and was not even due to an emergency. App was stating that it’s open!

1) badly mislabeled trails/roads 2) no way to update maps for future users 3) deleted my curated routes when I updated the app(routes that were obvious and should have been included already) I've had the premium version for a few years and the problems I had at the beginning are just not improving. This past weekend, I relied on it to plan a trip around the the south side of Yosemite and it just utterly failed me. I would have had much much better luck just turning down random forest roads like when I was young before GPS. The first "featured route", highlighted in blue, was a paved two lane highway complete with tractor trailers. It was scenic for sure, but no dirt. So I picked one of the seemingly endless "high clearance 4x4" trails in the area and literally 90% of them were mislabeled. They were either wide and well maintained gravel roads that a Prius could easily navigate or were 50" trails or dirt bike trails-- all with the same label. Once your trail narrows to 50", there's rarely a place to turn around and go back. No problem, I forged ahead, not too upset by all the scratches on the rig. But then, several miles in, I got to a closed bridge. Still not super upset, the Sierra Nevada saw record snowfall last winter, it's forgivable. So I tried to mark the spot for future users and there is NO WAY TO DO IT. This feature is only available for "featured trails" which are apparently paved roads. If users can't improve the maps, and the developers aren't using the info from the DOT and Forest Service, then what is the point of this app? There is none. Not in California at least.

There are a few things this app needs to be great - 1) have a way for users to report trails that are closed for whatever reason; 2) once you find a trail there is no way to get directions to the start/end of the trail - the app just locates the trail but then it leaves it up to you to find how to get to that trail - building in integration with Google/Apple Maps and/or Waze seems like it should be intuitive but it’s not; 3) there is no way to contact the developer or support in the app - there should be a way to provide this feedback right in the app instead of having to leave a review here to tell the developer. In any event, it seems like a solid app - didn’t crash and provided nice offline maps that you can set the area for to download so you can view them without any cell signal. Hopefully the developer can add the features above and if so I will update my review at that time.

I use this app weekly for property information. But as my title says it’s lacking for Offroad use. Almost every “trail” and “trail report” that is shown within 100 miles of me is nothing but an average forest service road that you can drive your families minivan down. The frustrating part is that many of these “trail reports” pass through actual OHV areas with real trails. For example in the Yacolt Burn State Forest the L-1500, L-1200, and the L-1100 roads have reports on them. Yet none of the 4x4 or ATV trails have any information. Once again in Hood River County the routs that are marked are nothing more then forest service roads. Yet the actual Offroad trails have no information. Then there’s the “Tillamook Loop” in The Tillamook State Forest in NW Oregon. The so called Tillamook Loop consists of multiple named 4x4 trails with varying degrees of difficulty. Yet this trail report calls it a 6 out of 10. Many of these are far easier then a 6 rating and then there’s a hand full of trails that should have a rating of an 8 or above. But they’ve all been lumped in together with an average rating that doesn’t represent what you will actually be getting into. As I said at the beginning I use this app weekly for property and land ownership information. But I do not trust it when it comes to anything about trail information. Daryl Keenan

This app is perfect for adventure motorcyclist such as myself. Having offline maps downloaded to your device for times when you are not with cellphone service is very convenient. Creating routes at home prior to adventure, complete with dropped pins of highlight points, is simple to do. Unfortunately this app has two major flaws. The first is that it cannot be used for turn by turn directions as typical navigation software allows. Instead you have to simply follow a line on the map as best as you can. I’ve read that this feature is being rolled out but I’ve yet to see it. The HUGE issue I’m having has me looking for an OnX alternative as I simply cannot work with the app as is. The maps get VERY glitchy!! Often times it’s severe enough that the app cannot be used!! OnX support has been helpful on trying to correct this issue but the only way that is successful requires me to delete and reinstall. This fixes it but only temporarily. Reinstalling every few weeks is getting old!! My recommendation for those interested in this app would be to start with a basic subscription first. Save on the premium membership upgrade until after you are confident that you won’t have this problem.

You are unable to delete an import of waypoints making it completely useless to me. Their support told me I would have to delete each waypoint I imported ONE BY ONE in order to not exceed their waypoint limit. I can’t import anything anymore and deleting each waypoint one by one would take over 60 hours of my time the way this is designed. What useless software and terrible support service. I cancelled my subscription immediately and hope something better comes along. UPDATE: the suggestion in the reply to this review would mass delete important markers from my personal research and is not a viable solution. I’m sorry body can fix this and that it is designed in this way. I need someone to simply delete one large import I made, not delete everything. Fix your software. Add a warning that says are you sure you want to import xxxx waypoints, it exceeds our max and it will break your account.

Pros: - cool imaging with satellite and 3D - highlighted OHV trails are impossible to miss - Waypoints allow marking and adding notes to a specific location Cons: - numerous official OHV Trails missing from map - satellite and 3-D only work with Wi-Fi or clear data signal - other than the highlighted OHV trails (which are missing a lot) there is no clear indication of what other trails or roads are open to the public or OHVs. -no ability to make highlights on trails more translucent or dim the highlights, which blocks out trail details and makes it difficult to view other map areas and details. - no ability for users to publicly add trail details or information (although some details and information can be added only for personal use by using waypoints). - satellite imaging cannot be adjusted for dates or seasons, making it very generic and a lot less useful. - No ability to route to a trail, or even see what roads will actually get you there. This app is all fluff and no stuff. I feel like I fell for gimmicks over performance and wasted time. When OnX actually provides an app that has a ‘value’ worth the fees, then I’ll consider subscribing again. Until then, I’m unsubscribing and going back to Avenza Maps for now. While Avenza is much simpler and doesn’t have the cool graphics and details, it is free (app is free and some area maps have a one time fee, but many NFS OHV maps are free. There is No subscription or recurring fees). It’s also more accurate (has all up to date NFS OHV trails) and each downloaded map covers an entire NFS area rather than a small square. If I want more graphics, I’ll use google earth.

Stick with Gaia gps. Especially here in Canada. Many more map layers and easier to use. Just because some “overland influencers” use it doesn’t make it better.

Sometimes I accidentally open Twitter as you both have nearly identical logos - and I despise Twitter but keep it because, well, im not too sure why...

Not a fan of this company. They use data from openstreetmap, which is an open source map made by volunteers. I’ve made over 10000 edits since 2009 and OnX expect me to pay full price while they use my edits for free? No thanks, I’ll keep using OSM.

I subscribed based on the listed premium features and quickly learned they weren’t actually available in Canada. At least onX offered an immediate refund without question which is good but also points to their awareness of the issues with their offering in Eastern Canada. Their marketing borders on deceptive.

Facile

I would love to give more than 1 star, but I cannot try the fully featured app without paying. Note that if you want the app to maybe be relevant in Canada, you need to most expensive plan. I cannot even try before buy to see if it matches my needs. What a shame, I wanted to love this app so much 🙁

The app is useless if you use the free version of it. You don’t get off road trails or a description of the trail. But paying a subscription for just that is stupid.

This app is absolutely useless for dirt or snow riding in Alberta or bc. There are almost no dirt or snowmobile trails in either province according to the app

I downloaded on onX hoping I could see trails in my area, but it doesn’t show a single off-road trail anywhere from well-known ones by everyone in my area too. You’re lucky to know it.

Gaia gps is way better.

The app says the first 7 days is free trail, so for my understand is they should not charge until the 7 days free trail end, but no, they charge my credit card immediately when I choose the plan and agree the apply pay! Even more, when I found out 5 minutes later and try to cancel the subscription, it won’t refund the money and force you use it for one full year, then end the subscription one year later, there is no other option or complain link in their app! I have to request refund from Apple support and raise a complain to Apple! Watch your money and don’t pay it unless you really want to! I won’t purchase onxoffroad anymore just for this fraud!

Well, I got a coupon code emailed to me from onX offroad. I’m trying to use it but it does not work. And then I’m in Canada and I’m trying to pay and there is no Canadian choice. Just USA. Very complicated everything. So I’m on the website trying to find help. They have a robotic texting. But as it is giving me suggestions that have nothing to do with my situation.. I’m trying to email but it’s not giving me an email address. So I guess there’s no contact with these guys. They just want lots of money.

Says it’s on sale for 99.99 but regular price is 69.99 lol such a rip off. Just download ihunter it’s way better

I’m located in Alberta Canada and would not recommend trusting these maps. Most of what it shows as OHV trails are actually not listed on the government maps and you could be fined if you attempt to ride them. Some trails show were even on private property. To make things worse it’s missing half the trails that are designated for OHV use. Not sure where they got their map data but is completly Incorrect.

App makes you log in through safari so if you don’t have safari app doesn’t work

Was cool when it works.

I’m paying for elite but it won’t let me use it and it keeps telling me to upgrade. It also made me sign up for something.com and I have no way of understanding how to use it. This is pretty much useless. There are way better apps out there for backcountry.

Terrible app. Buggy when you zoom or change perspective, it teleports all over. I added waypoints and downloaded an offline map for a backcountry outing, turns out the waypoints were gone and the map was 2d, completely useless. There must be a better alternative to Fatmaps.

Been always a supporter for OnX and always use it for planning my trips, however, the service became unreliable lately and I couldn’t even access my offline maps anymore as the app says I need elite membership which I’ve been always on. Tried restoring purchases but still not working, really annoying as I’m planning out trip for tomorrow

I wish they would spend some of the advertising money on the system. Big disconnect between the company and customers. About a year ago they sent me a Canadian webpage and discount's to subscribe. Then told to click the iOS APP link. Then to discover Apple Canada didn’t even have a APP. Contacting support and struggling over a month to get a hold of someone that knew something. I was told to install the American IOS APP which is basically impossible for a Canadian. Requires wiping your phone and install USA iOS which requires a American address and American bank account. Now I see they finally have a Canadian app

Not bad if you plan on creating your own maps in a region and you’re making them all. Can only import 4mb maps. Pretty disappointed for Canada.

Not sure why premium is pushed in markets it’s not useful. Still no off-road utility. BRMB Canada layer would be an improvement but just use OSM if you need offline maps.

I wish you guys would do Canada as well

Ils veulent vous forcer à prendre un abonnement

One reviewer allowed 20 minutes. I’m done in 10. First of all, you need to create an account before you can see what it does. Then your hit with a 7 day free trial and you find out you must pay $50/year to use it. Next, you find out that $50 doesn’t give you anything when you live — or travel — in Canada. You need the “elite” version for that. And this is all in the first 5 minutes. And what a waste of 5 minutes! The next five minutes was writing out your first impressions… 🤪 Kind of a bad joke.

Awesome that it’s in Canada now but there’s no point because there are no data or trails on it. I guess they expect you to map it for them. Kinda defeats the purpose of downloading it to find trails and such.

On the surface, this appears to be a valuable addition for anyone's navigation and planning portfolio. but try to use it and it becomes something very different. does not accept that i have subscribed and i constantly need to refresh. constantly nagging for me to upgrade to elite. turns out maps in canada need an elite subscription anyway. i usually allow an app a couple of strikes before i toast them. 3 strikes in 20mins and i'm done
