Best apps for planning a group off-road trip

There's no single app that does everything for a group off-road trip, so most crews end up stacking a few. Here's an honest take on where each fits.

Navigation: onX Offroad / Gaia GPS

For on-trail navigation and offline maps, onX Offroad and Gaia GPS are the standards. Export your planned route as a GPX and import it into either one.

Coordination: where the group falls apart

Navigation apps are great at where am I, less great at what's the plan for the whole crew. That's the gap: the route, the fuel cost per rig, the lodging, and the trip chatter usually scatter across a group chat and a spreadsheet.

That's the part WheelingTrips is built for: one shared plan your whole crew can see, with the fuel math done per vehicle, then export the route as GPX into the navigation app you already run.

Use the right tool for each job, and keep the plan in one place.
