Comments on onX Backcountry Trail Maps GPS for Android
★★★★★Matt Kepler· Aug 14, 2026
This app accesses land ownership records, topology, trails, and categories other than hiking, such as climbing, skiing, and mountain biking permitted areas. I got a deep discount on an elite membership and the app paid for itself after one night of camping in dispersed public BLM land rather than paying for a private campsite.
★★★★★Jessica G.· Jul 11, 2026
I just upgraded to premium, will see how I like it once I hit the trail later today. I have Onx Offload elite, feel like if you have a membership for one there should be a discount for getting another of their products. Doesn't have to be a big discount, even 10%.
★★★★★Ted Behar· Jun 20, 2026
An invaluable resource for any backcountry activity. With the Elite status I can determine who owns which private property. As a land manager/planner, this is like having access to the municipal GIS without the need for internet connection. The new layer with dispersed camping locations is informative as well, though I do have some concern it might lead to additional population pressure, much like social media has for so many tourist locations. Customer service has always been exceptional.

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

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.

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.
★☆☆☆☆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.
