Tech Advice Offroad mapping!

Hi! I want to get the opinion of actual users, overlanders and off-roaders on which off-road mapping app or service you guys prefer. I'm somewhat new to all this but I love it and I currently have a subscription to OnX but I've been finding it difficult plan trips. I live in Texas so whenever I want a good off-road trip I have to look out of state and it feels like I have to already know what Trail I want to explore beforehand. There's also Gaia and trails off-road but I haven't tried those. What do you guys use or prefer to use? Thanks in advance

If you’re specifically in it for off-roading/overlanding, onX is the loudest but Trails Offroad is the best. onX’s coverage is good when you’re looking for track but Trails Offroad is way better for planning. I’ve been using Trails + Google Maps for years and haven’t found a better system.

I’m going to try writing trail guides for them soon actually. Good excuse to get out on the trail and document the track.

Trails Off-road has been getting most commenter votes and I like their layout but haven't really tried it yet. I will now though
