onX Backcountry: 3D Trail Maps

onX Backcountry plans outdoor routes with terrain layers, saved waypoints and eligible offline maps.

Our take

Consider as supplementary backcountry research

Activity-specific layers connect route choices with terrain.

Keep in mind: Maps and avalanche simulations do not guarantee safe travel or lawful access; SOS terms, exclusions and connectivity require separate checking.

What you can do

  • Build supported trail routes
  • Download eligible offline layers
  • Track waypoints and inspect available slope/weather information

Good for

  • Experienced users checking routes independently

Consider alternatives for

  • Users replacing navigation skills or emergency plans

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 18.0.
  • Maps and avalanche simulations do not guarantee safe travel or lawful access; SOS terms, exclusions and connectivity require separate checking.

Privacy & permissions

Precise tracks and shared waypoints reveal sensitive locations; restrict sharing.
