Pros & Cons

Large, multi-activity data set: 650k+ miles of trails, 300k+ rock climbs, 4k+ ski routes
Reliable offline navigation with 3D LiDAR topo maps and breadcrumb tracking
Elite data layers for advanced planning (Private Land Layer, Recent Imagery) and extensive public land coverage
Activity-specific Map Modes and hazard/weather layers for safer field navigation

Competitors often emphasize community features, route sharing, and social tools which this app markets less (based on keyword comparisons)
Some advanced data (e.g., Private Land Layer, Recent Imagery) is Elite-only, which may require a higher tier for full access

Comments on onX Backcountry Trail Maps GPS for Android

★★★★☆ Gerald Ross · May 12, 2026

It really helps to find out where the land is and who owns it

★★★★★ Corey Kasbohm · May 10, 2026

Could not be without onX, it is the best for getting out there!

★★★★★ Cole Schwanke · May 22, 2026

I use it to plan all of my backpacking routes. Easy to use in the backcountry with no signal. Great features for mapping.

★★★★★ Mythical UniKrn (Mythicalunikrn) · Mar 29, 2026

Tons of trails to choose from, make it a day or find a hiking trail nearby. This app is easy to use and doesn't kill your data with ads.

★☆☆☆☆ Felicia Ford · Apr 29, 2026

I switched from OnX Hunt that I used for years without a problem across the country, recording all my tracks. OnX Backcountry has yet to finish recording any of my hikes. I get halfway through a 6-7 mile hike and get an error notice saying track has stopped recording. I click Resume and all of a sudden everything crashes and the tracking stops. It's been two months and over 25 miles of hikes, and I don't have a record of one of them because they all failed and dropped.

★☆☆☆☆ V · May 27, 2026

This app does not support metric units. Gave it a try on trial cause of Gaia curse was haunting me, but with no metric units, this app is not usable outside of US. onX app looks decent, but lack of this one basic feature is a dealbreaker. Trying Caltrop next. Too bad, I was excited about a good app for few hours. I already changed the settings, but topo maps are still in feet.

★☆☆☆☆ Paula Smith · Jul 26, 2026

Glitchy, do NOT trust it!! Pay for the elite membership and the offline maps stopped working, routes not appearing, can't click points of interest. At one point it was just entirely blank. I contacted support, and they gave me a weak excuse and BLAMED ME for having too large of maps, or maybe the map wasn't downloaded, etc. Insulting and frustrating after using the app for several years. Gross 🤢. Do better OnX.

★☆☆☆☆ Kyle · Feb 28, 2026

I pay for the premium membership, $35/year. Every time I open the app I get endless requests to upgrade to the $100/year plan. If I leave the app open and go to chrome another ad to upgrade. Go from my maps to my saved trails and an ad to upgrade. Unbearable
