    A work in progress
    I recently purchased a 2023 SR5 Premium and am looking for an app that will help me find dirt roads/forest roads/fire roads in the mountains of N. GA.
    Seems like there should be easy-to-use apps for iPhones out there that will help.
    Can anyone recommend any for me?
    Thanks!

    I've seen quite a few overlander type videos where they use GaiaGPS, AllTrails and OnX.

    GaiaGPS all the way. Great depth of layers, syncs to a web app and works with Apple CarPlay (and Android Auto).

    OnX is good as well.

    In reality, you're going to want a couple of different apps, plus using the Google stuff to do some recon. Sometimes what one map or app says is not something you should follow at all.

    One-at-this-price stripper. Bought new 34 yrs ago, a $13K leftover. Added Detroit TruTrac, 1”rear spring spacer and “pinstripes”… Factory AC kit and roof rack bought at dealer cost at time of purchase, still blows ice cold 32yrs later. 2022 AG ORP all stock.
    I wanted a larger screen GPS for my SxS & Goldie but I got severe sticker shock at Garmin.
    I found out virtually all modern tablets have a GPS chip. From what I can tell only the iPad wifi-only tablets do not.
    I got a cheap $80 8” Samsung Tab A on an after Xmas close-out at Costco and a 5yr GAIA subscription when it was dirt cheap 2 years ago along with RAM mounts.
    For less than $300 I have a big screen GPS…..tablet, GAIA and RAM mounts for Goldie and my SxS.
    Edit: I transfer the tablet between the two and I have the app on our iPhones.
