I’ve been a loyal Gaia GPS user for years—it’s been my go-to for kayak fishing, overlanding, and backcountry camping across Alberta. But recently, I gave OnX Offroad Elite a shot… and now I’m questioning everything.


In this video, I compare OnX Offroad vs Gaia GPS—from offline maps, trail access, custom waypoints, to land ownership overlays. Whether you’re navigating remote trails or planning your next overlanding route, this honest breakdown will help you choose the right mapping tool for your adventures.


📍Topics Covered:


  • Gaia GPS pros & cons after years of use
  • What OnX Offroad Elite does better
