onX Offroad ranks first because it is built around motorized trails rather than hiking. onX says the app covers 650,000+ miles of off-road trails and 500,000 recreation points, and lets riders filter trails for side-by-sides, ATVs, quads, dirt bikes and 4x4s. Premium adds open and closed trail highlighting, Featured Trails with descriptions and photos, and unlimited offline maps for $34.99 per year, while Elite at $99.99 per year adds property boundaries and landowner names. Turn-by-turn voice directions run from pavement to trail and sync with Apple CarPlay, and cell coverage layers show where AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile reach. The catch is that the free version leaves out trails entirely, so it is a paid app for trail riding. It holds 4.8 stars from 30K ratings on the US App Store. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not ride the trails.

Price
Free version without trail data; Premium $34.99 per year, Elite $99.99 per year.
