Not sure if I miss something. But how can use an app that requires cloud connection if you are in the wood with no cell coverage? GPS chips on phone are super bad and not precise unless they have wifi around.
the fact that it stores everything on the cloud sold me. like you said, I also have a jeep I take the fam on and I love that everything syncs. good video
I am not sold in it. Almost any app that is for phones are internet dependent. Not a problem if you can down load the map, which I am sure you can with that app, and I am sure that is not too much of a problem if you travel within the US and other developed countries. But when you travel through third world countries which lack internet service in many of the remote places, and you can be without internet for days, how many of it's features will be unusable? Additionally, yes it has a lot of information for the US, but how good is it when it comes to international travel? I am planing a trip through Central and South America, does it have the same extensive information for those countries too? I am very skeptic that they do.
Thanks for the review. Living in a state with almost no legal trails outside of State/Federal OHV areas - and having both apps - I still find GaiaGPS more useful.
ive found Gaia to be really good but for some reason, pretty slow on the phones. I might give it another shot as they also have been updating their stuff often!
@@RWWRENTAL - Interesting feedback - I have run Gaia on 4 different phones when cell service wasn't available - 2 of them kept up like a champ, two of them lagged really bad - all iPhones. the 5 and 7 did the best, the 6S and SE lag. I know use my old 7 as a dedicated GPS unit. Thanks for the vids - keep them up.
Have you had any trouble with the vibration damaging your phone? I like trail just like you are riding. I am worried that the camera or other parts of the phone won't survive. I am using a Garmin 700i for now, but like the better maps with onx.
Thanks man, super helpful! Are you showing us the premium membership or the elite one? I'm just curious if its worth spending the extra dough for the elite..
@@PewLand I have that mount and it doesn’t seam secure enough for me unless you use the rubber thing but then it’s a pain if you want to take a picture or something with your phone as well
Especially out in the Western U.S. in places like Nevada, Idaho, Utah...endless miles of trails, dirt roads, mining roads...I tend to take it for granted. But holy crud, I can ride for a 1,000 miles and maybe touch payment once or twice.
@@ridgetop8161 I call it paradise :) In the same time entering mountain trail or even the forrest in most of the EU countries might end up being very expensive. In some cases maybe even put you in jail.
@@szymonchalupka That's too bad, but I guess a lot of it has to do with population and pressure on the ecosystems and the number of other users of the land. Out here, I just spent three days riding in a couple beautiful desert mountain ranges. I saw a total of three other people, and that was at the entrance to the whole range. :) I think every location has its plus and minuses, but I do love our wild lands out here :).
@@ridgetop8161 exactly, in most of the cases it's related to protection of the ecosystems and people walking on the trails. On the other hand nearly 30% of my country, Poland, is covered by forrests. Which I think is similar rate as US. Still, I cannot enter any forrest with the motorbike. Well, time to plan some bike-holiday in the US. As soon as this pandemic comes to end.
yep! you can import any gpx file. New Mexico has a bunch of trail highlighted for you, texas, not much yet. As time goes on, they will be updating. they seem to be good about that stuff
Do you use this software to create a route to use off line? If not what map do you use to create your route before creating a gpx? Also can you use this on multiple devices with out buying multiple apps?
Well done video thank you, Can you easily download tracks that are provided to you to this software and do they show up the same way they do on a regular GPS like maybe showing where gas stops are etc.if that's loaded onto the track?

What about off line use?
Not sure if I miss something. But how can use an app that requires cloud connection if you are in the wood with no cell coverage? GPS chips on phone are super bad and not precise unless they have wifi around.
what if there are no cell signals?
the fact that it stores everything on the cloud sold me. like you said, I also have a jeep I take the fam on and I love that everything syncs. good video
yeah exactly that is what sold me! its pretty great! im sure the app will continue to improve as they are updating

Italian creek cutoff trail...rocks! ugh...I dowloaded OnX because you recommended it. Have not used it yet though.
lol!! that trail was something else! cant wait to go back to taylor!
@@RWWRENTAL yea the camping was so nice! I slept well in my truck! 😂😂
Thanks man, super helpful!

I have no way points on my map whatsoever to search? How do I make those show?
Which cellphone mount do you use at you offroad bike? I need one which doesn‘t „destriy“ the phones cam or anything else cause off vibrations.
Ram mount
@@PewLand
I have that mount and it doesn’t seam secure enough for me unless you use the rubber thing but then it’s a pain if you want to take a picture or something with your phone as well
@@modernrider1398 try out the ram quick grip. It only requires one hand to use and holds much better than the X grip
Looks pretty nice! Is this also for European countries?
cool drone footage at the end !
So what about offline use? When you are out of cell phone range?
you can predownload the map and will display for you
There is a monthly fee you forgot to mention
He mentioned that
You sold me. I’ll definitely try it out for a couple weeks. I’ve been trying to make Gaia GPS work but it doesn’t have as many features as the onX
Have you tried it out yet onX ? Any good?
How does off-road GPS work on a cellphone when there’s no cell service? 😮
You dont need cell service for GPS to work. And for the maps, you can pre download them before you head out to your trip
Side comment, you guys are so lucky you can ride all these mountain trails legally in US! I wish it was also the case in Europe.

@@szymonchalupka We'd definitely enjoy your visit!
is it offline navi ?
wow, I need to check onx out. it looks awesome, esp what you mentioned. all the trails are already green for you.
definitely should! love that everything is already highlighted for you!
Can you import Google Earth KMZ or GPX files into the app or cloud? What does the service look like in far west Texas and southern New Mexico?
yep! you can import any gpx file. New Mexico has a bunch of trail highlighted for you, texas, not much yet. As time goes on, they will be updating. they seem to be good about that stuff
I don't think w out sat it works. Mexico or here in the desert it's zero signal.
Are you still using the Skydio 2 drone? How has it been for you riding MX?
For me, the best is Handy GPS by Binary Earth, 😊
Wish it was available in Canada.
Do you use this software to create a route to use off line?
If not what map do you use to create your route before creating a gpx?
Also can you use this on multiple devices with out buying multiple apps?
You can create in Gaia or OnX.
Well done video thank you, Can you easily download tracks that are provided to you to this software and do they show up the same way they do on a regular GPS like maybe showing where gas stops are etc.if that's loaded onto the track?
You are the best youtuber
thanks buddy! but I am def not the best lol
True but you will get there
In the USA only no doubt!
