GPS

[Gunner]

Android let?s you or used to let you download an area map for offline gps and driving. Not sure if it still does. I don?t believe this is possible with iPhone.
I?m a believer in having a second device if you are roughing it. Drop a garmin and it?s fine drop your phone and it?s going to hurt.

You can do it with google maps on iPhone and with the IOS 17 update you can download as well

Thanks Gunner. I?m still on iPhone 7 and SW version 15.

Good excuse to update to a newer device though.

I have not used my phone much for maps / road trips - but when I did I would get would you like to download updates to keep the cache current.
One of my real old GPS units I remember downloading higher level detailed maps to support side adventures.

> Onx maps

Do they have markers for roads along with the topo? I was thinking if I had to walk out and hit the closet road, that feature would be nice.

Yes, OnX shows all roads and trails as well as it classifies them as to whether they are road vehicle/atv/or pedestrian rated. It shows all public and private land boundaries and lists the owners of each private plot. It has all of the tools for saving waypoints, tracking your route as well as planning routes. Has distance measuring tools and so on.
