Since bursting onto the scene, OnX has been rapidly innovating and adding new value adding features at a break-neck pace. OnX was a non-player in the off road community just a few short years ago, but they quickly made a name for themselves with the release of OnX Off Road in 2019. While we use Gaia extensively for research, route development, and navigating the backcountry, we love OnX's extensive and fast growing library of detailed trails. That mapping addiction has only grown more intense with time, so it come as no surprise that I hold subscriptions to both Gaia GPS and OnX Off Road, along with a number of other mapping applications and off road specific trail platforms. I've been a map geek since my teenage years, when I used to tape USGS mapping quadrants to my bedroom wall, highlighting every trail and dirt fire road that existed in Marin County, California. For the sake of this article, we'll be focusing on Gaia GPX and OnX Off Road, which are the two most common platforms we see using for planning their adventures, and to navigate the backcountry. Some of the honorable mentions that are worth checking out include CalTop, Garmin Overlander (comes as a tablet), RidewithGPS, and the Overland Bound One app. To be fair, there are a quite frankly dozens of other mapping apps and platforms, some of which work great, others, no so much. And for good reason, these two mapping applications have assumed the place as the industry leaders for off road vehicle exploration and travel. Whether you're just getting into overlanding or off roading, or if you've at it for the last two decades, there's a good chance you've heard of Gaia GPX and OnX Off Road.
