If you love off-road adventure, don't settle for anything less than apps that show you how to make both enjoyment and safety your top priorities.
A great off-road experience can be one of the most entertaining ways to explore the world around you, but there's always the risk of getting lost. So, picture this: you're thinking there's nothing like cruising a dirt road in your Jeep Wrangler with the top down, cranking up your tunes. It's amazing fun until you end up in the middle of nowhere, and the tunes turn into banjo music. Fortunately, the days of Google maps are over as helpful off-roading apps feature the best GPS for both driving and hiking. So, whether you're hiking the trails or driving your ATV through the swamps, your phone can help you stay on track with offline navigational help.
Still, off-road experiences are also a great way to have hours of fun. Along with GPS features like Lowrance navigation and Sat nav, off-road apps for Android and iPhone or iPad are a great way to scope the trail in front of you. Instead of getting out of your truck to make sure the bank isn't steep enough to tip it over, survey the angle from the driver's seat. That way, you'll have more time to drive around and more mud to take home as a trophy thanks to off-road mobile apps.
Now, if you enjoy adventuring with friends, these off-road apps can also connect you to fellow off-road junkies and the best new places to take your ATV, truck, or jeep in particular regions. Whether you want to adventure in the Midwest, the Southeast, or the Pacific Coast, these apps can help you find a dirt road or trail near you. You'll also have the chance to read reviews and share comments with other users to find out which trails and areas they enjoy the most. Mobile apps can help you take your off-road experience to the next level.

I have spent well over 2 hours searching for trailheads many times. However, after downloading Gaia, I almost always find the trailhead right away. If I do have trouble finding a path, there are helpful trip reports to refer to as well.
