## What is OFFROAD ATLAS?

OFFROAD ATLAS allows you to safely explore our National Forest land, even offline. The app shows your GPS location on our seamless Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) to help you identify roads, stay on trails, obey use classifications, and navigate alternative routes in and out of the forest. We also offer quick access to the official MVUM PDFs.

What is a MVUM?  It is a map that shows where you can legally operate a motor vehicle on National Forest land. OFFROAD ATLAS uses your phone’s GPS to show your location on our seamless map. We combine the MVUM with other data such as local roads and our map is easily downloaded for offline use.

You may browse the map while you have wifi or cell service and OFFROAD ATLAS will automatically download any of the areas you view for offline use when you don't have network access. You may also bulk download any of the areas you plan on visiting.

Always have as much information as possible, please consult the published (printable) PDF Motor Vehicle Use Maps available for any individual forests you plan on visiting to get the latest dispersed camping allowances, seasonal closures, and any other relevant information. As always, be careful, many trails and roads are not suitable for passenger car travel. Some are only traversable in the most capable off road vehicles by the most experienced drivers.
Have fun, be safe, and respect the trails.

The OFFROAD ATLAS map service depicts Forest Service roads and trails that are designated for motor vehicle use under the official U.S. Government Code of Federal Regulations for identifying designated roads and trails (36 CFR 212.56). Road and Trail MVUM. Additional roads, such as highways, county roads or public roads, are included for mapping purposes. This map service shows the specific types of motorized vehicles allowed on the designated routes and seasonal designation. Data used in this map service are designed to be consistent with the MVUM (Motor Vehicle Use Map). The road and trail data are compiled from the GIS Data Dictionary data and Infra tabular data that the U.S. Forest Service administrative units have prepared for the creation of their MVUMs. This data is published and refreshed on a unit by unit basis as needed and approved by the individual units in order to stay in sync and consistent with the published MVUMs. Interstate, Highway, Other Major Non USFS Roads, and Historic roads for reference are for mapping purposes only and should not be relied upon for their availability for motorized use.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-08-08, version 1.7.1*

This is the worst app I’ve seen. I have been scammed out of a dollar. Clunky, laggy, poor quality. Developers just ripping people off.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2021-01-03, version 1.7.1*

Even with high speed internet, VERY slow navigation. Only shows a small fraction of the trails.

### 1/5 — Old, broken, zero stars

*2020-10-17, version 1.7.1*

Old, broken, zero stars

### 1/5 — Weak

*2020-07-18, version 1.7.1*

Not worth it even being free.

### 2/5 — Too Clunky

*2020-04-03, version 1.7.1*

Kinda useless downloaded the maps and too clunky maps expire

### 1/5 — DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY

*2020-03-18, version 1.7.1*

I paid for the app and first 2 minutes I hated it. Every time I scrolled the map or zoomed in, I’d have to wait for it to load. EVERY move, no matter how small, it was delayed to load the data. Absolutely worst purchased app I’ve ever purchased. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY

### 1/5 — Absolutely worthless

*2020-03-09, version 1.7.1*

No trail no roads. Interstate and blurred pixelated nothing useful. Not even for .99. Don’t get this it is worthless

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2019-10-26, version 1.7.1*

Don't waste your time or money paid .99 cents for a crap map of the USA no directions.

### 5/5 — Excellent App! Knew where we were all day long!

*2019-08-30, version 1.7.1*

We spent 9 hours over two days in a national forest which we’ve never visited before and ALWAYS knew where we were. I could keep track of our progress and made all my turns. We were in a Jeep running roads and trails which were properly labeled to keep us off the atv and utv only trails. I downloaded maps for the forest ahead of time, hooked my iPhone to a Garmin Glo Bluetooth gps, carried the phone in a Ram mount, and ran 12v to both units, not a hiccup all day. Part of the time we had no service too. I was able to investigate the area and trails we wanted ahead of time using the app also. No way I could have the confidence I had using paper maps, this app is worth every penny. Keep up the good work.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-02-19, version 1.7.1*

The legend doesn’t match. The lakes are really bad. Found one area I was looking at traveling and there was just a bunch of lakes on the map that don’t even exist. Not a usable application. Wish I could get my money back.
