I have on order a Tiffin GH1 Class B van I plan to use off roading easy to moderate routes. I use Apple Carplay and iPhone 16 Pro Max to Navigate off road trails. I researched and found On X to be sufficient but am running out of time and am looking to hire an experienced overlander and route planner with experience using On X OffRoad. I got the Elite membership since I plan to boondock as much as possible. I will prefer a hands on tutor in the San Antonio, Tx area but I understand it may need to be online. But I need 1 to 1 online sessions specific to my needs. Just show me how to create a route from one destination to get to my overlanding route on my iPad, then how to use Carplay and iPhone in my rig to Navigate the Offroad routes. Then how to upload pre-made routes created by other overlanders and use those as well. I have only lesrned how to select sections of the map for the Colorado Alpine loop and have downloaded them for off-line use. I do not get my van until end of Feb. 2025 but csn use my truck and carplay for testing the navigation function. Once I learn how to plan, build and navugate a trip via On X then we can progress more deeply as time permits. please email me to jsavoie@mac,com, I may join and become a member but I am not sure my sprinter van qualifies for anything more than easy and moderate levels of difficulty!
please advise!

Honestly, all you want to know is on YouTube. Will say plan your route on a computer is easier than the app.
Also do not forget the OB1 app, I use both on every trip and planning, I especially love OB's tracking, even on a "known" route I still record all my movement and stops, really cool.

On both apps, take the time to "Download Offline Maps", that way when out in the boonies with no signal, the map will be there and is seamless.

Good luck on the adventures and share pics of the rig and trips!
