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?

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.

We offroad jeeps and RZRs and I'm having a heck of a time getting OnX Offroad to show me actual street names when we have to jump from WV Hatfield McCoy trails to a street to get to the next section. Any suggestions on this? Using the app on iOS for iPhone 14pro and iPad pro. We have the premium subscription for onX.

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?

How do you display the weather? Mine just has the word “weather” there. When I touch it, a window opens showing the weather, but when the window is closed, it goes back to just the word “weather”. Is this one of the differences between the Premium subscription (which I am on) and the Elite subscription?

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.

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.

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
@ArkansasOffroad 2 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!

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.

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.

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.
