    Hi @Kushal Thakkar Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club ! We have a more than full convoy but i made an exception for you and added you to the convoy list: MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING As it's your first drive i can accept you without flag or radio. Do make sure to have these for your second drive onwards as they are absolutely essential. If you still have time today you can head over to Dragon Mart and pick up both. Please watch the Newbie Briefing Video with full attention so you have a good understanding of the essentials and come prepared. Of course there will be a briefing as well after deflation but we sometimes miss out some things. See you tomorrow !

    In the past you could access this service but the owner received a message and had to give his approval for the records to be shared.

    Made an updated overview to show the differences in the various apps. It is also an option to pick two different apps for different functionalities. Nowadays i use the Caltopo website for my route-planning and archiving, and Gurumaps on my mobile in the vehicle. As these don't sync with each other instantly, this means i need to do this manually. Additionally i still use the Garmin 276cx with Birdview imagery downloaded which gives me the least hassle of all. The only downside is that you need to download the imagery beforehand via Garmin Basecamp. If i do an unplanned recce in new terrain, then this is an issue of course. In that case i use Gurumaps, either online imagery or the offline downloaded map.

    Gave the DMD2 app a try over the last two days. - The user interface is sleek and easy to set up. - App is Android only. - Lots of customization option and add-ons are available (TPMS/OBD/Joystick Controls, Roadbook). - Offline street maps can be downloaded (but no satellite imagery). This was for me the biggest NO-GO - When i started the app without internet connection, it forgot that i purchased a membership and kept running in demo mode. - The app is relatively new and still has some bugs, but the founder is working on them diligently and there are support channels. All in all, this is a nice app if you are ok with using a constant internet connection. In my case because i use an Android phone for my GPS app without a SIM, this was a bummer. I tried using the hotspot functionality on my main phone but i don't like the fact that my GPS app would have to rely on constant internet to be able to use the satellite imagery.

    ON X is indeed quite popular in this US, and i was assuming it was meant for US only. (see below). OnX Backcountry vs. Gaia GPS: A Head-to-Head Comparison - Territory Supply Will give it a try and add a review soon. Or if you decide to test it feel free to give your feedback ! The TREAD app looks indeed promising, but will only work in conjunction with a Garmin Tread Device, correct ?

    This is a Hyundai from 1987 ? Or else something is wrong with the VIN

    In my case on the app i can click on "offline maps" but it only seems to download the street and topo maps, not the sattelite imagery.
