I did see, and such an awesome idea. I did my first two trail rides this past year and had both with a meetup within the state Forest.
Fun fact: I noticed the new format for rigs and coffee to coordinates and coffee as I was scouting a place for meetups. Most of the people in CPAO are from...
I know this thread is a bit older, but since I'm in the same position (for a year now) and still undecided, I'd at least like to share my experience so far:
iPad with Gaia GPS
I have a paid subscription to Gaia and therefore have access to some very nice map layers. The main problem I have...
While alone in the desert a few months ago I began thinking about King of the Hammers and how over the past decade I have always wanted to attend. Although I was aware that the event was held in Johnson Valley, California, I was not sure what time of the year, so I promised myself to check as...
It won't be long now. I'm delighted that we've found another volunteer for workshops. This year we will deal with (1) Stopping life-threatening bleeding with @XC70_OVERLANDER and @El-Dracho , (2) Making fire - techniques and rules of conduct with @Moritz Jung and @Oligetorix and (3) Outdoor...
I don't know about a direct link, but you can add locations to the map in the app privately. That way only you can see your special locations etc. and it will keep them saved for you. One thing the app can do is the reverse, you can click a point in the app and send the navigation directions to...
Great list - B&H is my favorite toy store!
I’d also add warm gloves and wool socks (Darn Tough are a favorite); a Yeti or similar insulated drinking cup or coffee cup; a first aid kit; a Thermacell bug repellent kit (used my a LOT this summer); or a subscription to a useful app - such as weather...
You need to get out there with your vehicle as is. You will figure out what YOU need to do to your vehicle to improve your experience.
From the list, I would prioritise things that make it safe for you like first aid, navigation and driver training.
If you are a newbie, travel with friends that...
I really like this device, my Garmin Montana 700i.
I've used the other Garmin Inreach devices and their interface is awful, the same as their other backpacking GPS units.
The Montana interface is more like a mobile phone, with proper touchscreen controls and message typing.
The display is large...
...experience. Look for lightweight and compact options that are easy to transport.

I have electronics that use Google/Apple/Gaia maps and a Gamin satellite navigation device, which I use primarily for roads. But…I always have “old school” maps, too. The 50-state Rand McNally resides in the seat back pocket and I have trail maps for many National Parks, forests and wilderness...
This is one option. I would recommend you go with the upgraded ram/rom on it too. Ours is low powered and you can tell when trying to get apps to fire up. But once it's running it's great.
