Trail map applications

[Ryuk]

We use Maprika on the east coast for AOAA and Rausch Creek.
It actually works great, but does not have CarPlay or Android Play integration, so it needs to run on your Smart Phone or tablet.

Have OnX and have been happy w/their maps and app. Use OnX offroad, and OnX hunt. Haven't tried w/android auto yet. Used it on my phone in my 90 Bronco, and OnX hunt on foot using my handheld garmin. Good way to keep from accidentally trespassing, and to find new places to explore! Where I live the details on OnX offroad are kinda sketchy regarding trails, trails we have used for years are completely off the map, and marked trails are sometimes forcibly closed by authorities, but it's better than nothing!

If @Ford Motor Company ever releases it, the FordPass Performance App looks pretty cool.

Ford Bronco FordPass Performance App Is A Work In Progress (fordauthority.com)

Don't hold your hand on your ass waiting.....it'll grow there before Ford releases that app. They've gone dark and silent on it becoming available.

I was able to find a lot of interesting dirt roads near Sacramento just using Google Maps. I would work out a route and then convert it to GPX and stuff it into my Garmin to help me follow it.

Here are a couple of examples that are interesting routes:

I did these on an adventure motorcycle, but they would be fun in my Bronco too.

Is there a way to use OnX hunt on the Bronco screen with Android, or is that only OnX Offroad?

I am fairly certain OnX hunt will work w/android auto, but TBH I haven't tried because I only have OnX hunt installed on my garmin handheld, and OnX offroad on my phone. OnX hunt has way too much info going on to look at while I am driving, so I mainly use it when on foot, or driving slow on forest roads scouting potential hunting sites. For actual vehicle navigation OnX offroad is much better

I would love to be able to use Google Maps off of an iPhone, but have no clue if that's even possible.

It ought to be, since I can use Pandora with the sound system.

I'm just trying to save additional membership fees. As far as I can tell OnX Hunt will not interface with Android Auto but OnX Offroad will.

Doesn't help me. I'm not getting a new phone just for this one case. But thanks.

Howdy,

what trail map app do you guys recommend, if any? I’m looking to get out and explore with the family. But I have no idea where to go. Any tips on map apps would be helpful, thank you

You are in NorCal. Tons of trails in the sierra’s. You could hit Rubicon and be home for dinner.

No lie I’m a little jealous.

 

[Jon_chimpo]

Me or my 70k bronco are not ready for the Rubicon. But yes, it’s about an hour from my house when my testicular growth increases. I’ve never done much rock crawling, looking to wet my beak, and work up to it

FTFY...

 

[Gil Carolina]

FTFY...

fair.

 

[Jon_chimpo]

fair.

At that point I’d just light a match, and call it in stolen.
