Are you able to view the maps on the app if you don’t have service?
If I remember correctly, this is how it is. Have a look at the OB 1 App How To subforum, please. There is also already a topic about the offline functions, look here:
Maybe this helps already!

For further support regarding the OB 1 App, please refer to: Introduction to the Overland Bound App Forum

I hope I could help you a little!

@Michael will surely say something more detailed about it!

You need the right app for the job.

For Offline Offroad Orientation is maps.me nice , to see where you are, for the big picture. You have to download the map bevore you start.
For offline Road navigation is here the way to go. "Turn righ in the colorado road in 50m" is possible. You have to download the map bevore you start.
For offline offroad Navigation severall Apps are able to. Onx, GaiaGPS, Mapout, Locuspro, and severall more. You have to download the map bevore you start.
For offline Track-Navigation I like wikiloc. The "Member" Account allows to use it better offline - but it is usable too without. You have to download the Track bevore you start.

You probably will like my personal list of favorite travel-apps too.

All apps has their pro`s and cons.

I have a friend that uses wikiloc. I just downloaded it. I saved a trail to my phone as a file but now I have no idea where on my phone it is. Haha

You seem to know your trail apps so I’m hoping I can get your help. I downloaded the wikiloc app and saved a trail as a file to my phone. When I open it i am brought to OB maps and I get this error.

I love OB-1 and definitely contribute as much as I can to it, but for me I am a huge fan of Gaia GPS. It is our primary tool and we catalogue everything in the system. I have tried others but, for us, it seems to fit the bill.View attachment 203869
