Thanks for the tutorial! I was looking at the onX Offroad 7-day trial version and am really impressed. Tell me though, do you know if this app can be downloaded into a GPS (I have a Garmin Montana 700i)? I'm sure you know Garmin maps have their limitations when it comes to trails and Forest Service roads. Being able to download onX maps to a GPS would be especially nice.

I’m in Minnesota. The first trail that pops up is something called Mallard Lake trail, 7.1 miles. But it’s actually closer to 100 miles away. I know there are lots of trails and back public roads to drive on way closer to me. But every trail is says it’s a short distance but it’s very far. What am I missing?

@gp271 4 ай бұрын

I'm guessing that the distance you're looking at is the trail distance, not the distance from where you're at to the trail.

Go to "My Content", find the waypoint listed, and the tap (or click) the three dots to the right to see a list of options. Delete is on that list.

Noticed a few videos back when you did a vehicle overview walk around thing, you had a garmin tread overland. On about switching on/off lights with PowerSwitch, any way why not just use garmin explore ? Or do you just prefer the set on on this mapping, also could the routes to loaded too the explore software and then too the overland. Anyway nice one take care 👍

Thanks! Garmin explore doesn't have near the offroad data that onX does. I actually use my garmin for on road navigation and then onX for offroad.

I am fairly new to tech, am 50 lol, however found OnX family of maps a couple years ago. I AM NOT Sponsored, but I am very pleased with the variations, usability and user friendliness of these programs. I do a lot of hiking so the Backcountry one is great for finding trails, elevation, difficulty, etc. Fishing, camping, general off-roading, I use Offroad. OnX Hunt is great to let me know if I am stepping on people's property..great for making sure I don't get shot for trespassing! The downloadable maps is useful as well. No service, no problem, still have the detail of an area NOT available on paper maps. $30.00 a year, for each, but I personally think it is worth it for I do. Hope this helps.

@ArkansasOffroad 2 жыл бұрын

If you're on trails or anything off grid that you create in onX, no, there is no turn by turn directions. They have a "navigate" feature which will give you turn by turn directions (using apple maps or google maps) to your trail that you have on onX, but it stops there.

Question for a newbie. When tracking, I've had the problem of it stopping and I lose it. Why is that? Also, on our return ride back, the map is backwards, I should take a right and the map shows left. What am I doing wrong?

@ArkansasOffroad Жыл бұрын

You should be able to "pause" while tracking, if you click "stop" it will stop whatever youre tracking and save your route from when you first started it. Make sure you're only pausing. You should be able to tap the little compass icon to change your map orientation so it's not backwards. Hope this helps!

Yesterday while using my iPad I lost all connectivity but I could still track myself live on the map and I could save my track at the end of my ride. How does it connect if I have no cell service.

@ArkansasOffroad Жыл бұрын

Your phone or iPad still has an internal GPS, so it still can track and record. However if you didn't save your maps, you cant zoom in and actually see the roads, satellite imagery, etc.

@wadewishneski3075 Жыл бұрын

so basically you have to have an area saved before going to that location since you will not have cell service? In other words you cannot show up to a location and use OnX Offroad?

Googled how to use this app and this was one of the videos hat it showed, but this video didn't help with what I was looking for. I'm so used to AllTrails for hiking but it doesn't tell too many off road trails, so thought I would try this one. So I can highlight a route to a trail, but the trail itself doesn't highlight. How do you save the actual trail to your main map, then be able to route to it when the time comes? Trying to learn a more detailed app after using a simpler one for so long.

As frustrated as I am with this app I still keep it on my phone just to open it and be frustrated with it upon opening. I have a few trails I would like do but when I navigate to the trails it, flawlessly, brings me to my neighbors house about 50 feet away. I can NOT get it to navigate to the trailhead. I have to google the trailhead (after reading comments on where it is located) and plug it into my Apple Maps and the switch back to OnX to do the trail. What am I doing wrong? I have yet to find an app that I can navigate to trails with. GAIA pulls up hiking trails even though the filter clearly says Offroad so that is out. Help please.

OnX Off-road REALLY drops the ball in several vital areas :#1) you cannot name your way points unless you download/screenshot your track/map and edit the screen shot by using Photoshop or Photo editor.. ..total BS. If you do try and print your map, you must have erased the waypoint icons and hope you remember where they were . Speaking a lack of attention to detail.. you can choose a Sasquatch icon but there is no icon for a frickin' bridge.. WTF ? #2) Once you save your track and did not finish the route due to weather, loss of daylight or whatever , you cannot "open" the track and begin where you left off... you must start ALL OVER and hope you can. complete your track.. if it's a multiday track you're screwed because you cannot "layer " your tracks ...more total BS...
