I like Trailforks, lets you switch between all sorts of different activity types and where to go do them, however you have to pay for it monthly. You get a 7 day free trial upon downloading the app, and after that its pretty much useless, but you google "ohv trails near me" and 9 times out of 10 the search results will show you full-featured trailforks for that particular search.

I've met a lot of the devs working on it and they're a bunch of upstanding fellas who all mountain bike, so they know what kind of stuff makes a good tracker.

Strava is free to use too, but it doesn't have the range and features Trailforks does.

I haven't had reason to exercise (no pun) it much yet, but I've been playing with Gaia GPS:

I switch between Gaia and onX Offroad. However onX I believe that tracking is a part of the premium features. I do like them both

So do you use one for driving and one for the other or just interchange them on the area.... what id like to be able to do is basically have somewhat of an idea of where im going routing ... but also something that i can basically say start and it maps lql my movement or location where i can go back see how far ... share the route with people lik you guys etc.

I find that they have different trails locations from different users. With onX I really like being able to download the trails for offline use for those no cell areas especially my first trip. But I can use the Gaia with bronco on Android auto while using onX on my phone. Gotta love technology ?
