  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Those fancy mapping apps will not save you...

    ...to my ipad which does not have GPS. Confused yet? LMAO I'm making it hard but I did not have the money for a full blown pad. I use onX maps and Gaia. I don't like Gaia at all. Never updates well for me but does okay for basic things. Unless you're in a steep valley both should work okay but...

    Yeah, Gaia is intended to be used by downloading the maps for the area ahead of time. Then it functions like an animated paper map that shows you where you are as you move along. Greatest thing since sliced bread IMO. I don't usually use routes, but once created a route using gaiagps.com just...

    ...poses a problem if/when your electronic device fails. This seems to be the preferred method of trip planning by most people thanks to apps like Gaia and the OB1 app since they make it so easy. The problem is you have no idea where the file is taking you and you are ignorant of anything...

    ...piece of the route in it. Wasn't really useful beyond the map, where I was anyway. There weren't any off-road trails nearby. Created a route on Gaia. Never bothered to see about downloading a map area. Beyond the layers, it seems to have the same information and usability as onX. I did like...

    Signed up for Gaia a few days ago and in messing around with it, I can't seem to get it to focus on overlanding vs hiking. It seems most things focus on hiking. I see how to create an overland focused route, but how about just general browsing?

    I primarily use Gaia and have found it very good for the trail stuff (and Trails Off-road is great if they have mapped the trail) but use a Garmin (mine is Overlander) for a longer trip in conjunction as it has both trail and roads. My gripe with Garmin is that , imho, their manuals suck. I am...

    Overland Expo West

    I dont know too much about east coast. As you move out west backroads and trails are fairly easy accessed. Apps like OnX, GAIA, this app have lots of trails and backroads on them. This app people upload their own GPX filea that you can see on the map so you can get some route/camping ideas...

    US Rocky Mountain Park City - Overland People Rigs & Brunch

    If anyone would like to lead a San Rafael Swell trip, Red's Canyon, I can help with a planning call and share spots via Gaia / etc. The weather still seems reasonable right now. If folks are interested for, say, next weekend - April 12 - 14, we could start a new thread regarding it. Let me...

    Cancelled South Carolina Adventure Route

    I think the SCAR route I have downloaded is in separate folders? I’m still learning this. I got my gpx file for free just by googling it, then downloading it to my phone then uploading it to Gaia. It’s a process but it works.

    Like others have said, they have their pros and cons... I use HEMA, which is basically an orange version of Gaia. I have used On X, and the garmin Tread... I personally like Hema/gaia best, but I like that OnX works over apple carplay and its one less screen in the car. The Tread has a ton of...

    Which App is best?

    I can clearly see by reading your post you haven’t found an Offroad map app that fits you needs. I think the problem might be that you’re from San Jose California. (LOL) just messing with you. I fully agree with you I haven’t found an Offroad App that fits my needs either.

    ...for something I can plan a complete trip with. Something that lets me nagivate a two day or a two year trip. With PROPER navigation onroad (Gaia and OnX utterly suck, OnX is actually garbage for this), decent coverage of trails and unpaved forest roads, access to high quality maps, and maybe...

    Which App is best?

    Thank you for your insight and yes I have to completely agree. I have yet to find the perfect Offroad app. I have been using OnX and Gaia and have found issues with both. However hopefully they will get better and listen to us the end users and make the necessary changes to their apps.

    Which App is best?

    Gaia. I find their route building and overlays much more detailed. Also like that Gaia is a bit more diy.

    Which App is best?

    They all suck one way or another. I have yet to find a good trail app that isn’t useless while traveling. Gaia is reasonable for trails, OnX is hopeless for me personally. I find OsmAnd the least worthless, but insanely infuriating to use.

    Which App is best?

    GAIA Premium , huge selection of maps. I like the older topos for exploring. Pop up an old Topo and your driving down the road how it looked 100 years ago, great for finding ruins and old homesteads. I spend hours researching, and have hundreds of waypoints marked for exploring and run around a...

    Which App is best?

    Not necessarily. There could have been different factors involved in their error. Gaia premium does have a layer that shows private property and like all the layer options, it has a toggle to increase/ decrease the intensity of the layer view. It could be they didn‘t have premium, had the layer...

    I ran across a YT video where they were using Gaia and ended up on private land. The landowner encouraged use of OnX because it makes it clear if it's private or not and Gaia does not. Is that true?
