One guy I ride with has OnX on his tablet.
Way too high tech for me . I use the Polaris app (RideCommand) for land ownership and Gaia on my phone now & then.

 

Gaia app on your phone and PC (web based on the PC).

The app can be offline or online. I've never needed anything else. Fantastic GPS/mapping/route finding/planning, etc...

 

I have the Brp app, and the polaris one, on my phone, though i never used them... yet... So i can't give any good info on those.

 

I've had a Garmin Montana 700 for almost 3 years. Rain, shine or snow and no issues.

 

@ Vwluca - have you had the Garmin in remote areas? How does the Garmin do when cell and other service is nonexistent?

I took have heard good things about:

Gaia
OnX
Ride command

With options like this - is the Garmin a step above for the cost?

Good to Know

I'm very pleased with mine. Yes many times I'm far north with no cellular signals.

It's a GPS so it doesn't need any 😉

I also have a SD card for ATV trails for Quebec.

The only "negative" thing for me, is that it's a pretty complete unit with lots of functions that I don't use/need for trail riding.

I’ve had a pair of Garmin gps for 25ish Yrs now. Honestly been so long I don’t remember how long. I am completely out of touch with what is on the market today.

196 and 296. Work well, I’ve used them flying, in trucks, jeeps, the CanAm, boat. You name it. They have various topo, or marine cards. I have them for my areas. I forget what model they got up to in the series, but you can probably get a used one relatively inexpensive. They have never once failed, that the best I can say about them. It pops off easy and fits in my coat pockets for hunting etc.

There are multiple adapters for mounting, antennas, power cords, etc etc. they keep a nice cookie trail on them, and lots of info in the system. I’ve seen this question a few times, so I snapped a couple pics for ideas, even if not one of these. Good luck.

 

Thanks All -

Good to Hear!!

 

I have a Garmin Montana 680 on my Outlander. You asked about remote. I live in Alaska and I go many miles into the wilderness. The Garmin always has signal even if you are out of cell range. Most of the places I ride don't have cell service.

 

Thanks for the feedback @dramey.

Your environment certainly is witness to "cell service not required" 👁️‍🗨️

Good to know!

Cheers!

 

Onx on an iPad and you download the maps in areas you’ll be if service is crud. But I’ll say hard to go wrong with a Montana either

 

The more I read the more it seams like the tablet/iPad and proper app is a great option..

Easy to see too.
