About 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.

OFFROAD ATLAS stores its data in the rmaps sqlitedb format that you can use with another mapping app that can handle rmaps data, such as Maverick: GPS Navigation.

Night Mode available only on Android KitKat (4.4) and later devices.

Great idea and execution to make MVUMs easy to use. However, it seems nearly all of the MVUMs around me in Colorado are outdated so the app doesn't serve much purpose until the database of MVUMs is regularly updated with what's available on the USFS ranger district sites. It would also be nice to have some sort of in app file management to see what is already downloaded and what is pending, plus the ability to delete or update specific maps and/or regions.

As another reviewer put it, this app seems to have a lot of promise, but it needs some work. For example, for Tennessee area, there are lines shown that would signify off road tracks. However, these roads are not for off road. It is just regular roads. It would be great if the app would have color grids to signify off road lanes. Also, it does not connect to my GPS and other maps such as Google Maps and Wayze. I worry about trespassing onto some private land. There are many private land in middle TN area, and I do not want to accidently destroy someone's property. It would be great if the app maker fixes these issues.

I use it regularly hitting trails in the Francis Marion National Forest minimally maintained and non maintained roads. Some are hardly visible and this GPS works great for finding them and identifying which are non or minimally maintained. Two thumbs up

Been looking for something to guide me on local forest roads. Works great on my Galaxy S7 Edge. Used it this afternoon for hours of back roads riding in the forest. Thumbs up on this great app. Question for developer: Any way to flag an area you encounter on the trail? Would love to see it on the map for future reference or going back to later. Sammy

They idea of pre-planning a route, with good chance for a successful trip is greatly improved with this app. Very competent and useful information based on mvums that are as up to date as possible. With the app and a phone call to the ranger station(s) for confirmation before leaving, it's as close to an "easy" button as it gets. Very nice!

The app seemed to have a lot of promise. Unfortunately the tracking stopped before we got to the national forest. I assume this is because of low cellular signal in the forest rather than an issue with the app. The problem is I can expect low cellular signal in most of the National Forest trails in Michigan.

Great MVUM app for Jeeping! Works great with Backcountry Navigator as well. If you're the Trail Leader for your Jeep Club trip or if you're going out exploring on your own, you NEED this app! And in the off chance your phone has a technical problem, the developer is readily available to help you troubleshoot the problem. Offroad Atlas should be on every outdoor adventurer's phone!

App seems to work but once active I can't turn it off and all non-app controls are dead. Only a power down and reboot give me back my phone. UPDATE: I tried the app after the developer's quick response and find that I can indeed close the app through the recently used menu. For some reason I didn't find this option from a scan of the app information. Thanks for the concise and quick help response. UPDATE2: The double tap for the end button is a more common functionality and very welcome. Thank you.

The poor resolution makes these maps painful to look at. Don't know where the refund button went but I so want my 99 cents back.

Love the app and it's just what I've been looking for. Still only has 2016 maps. Update: Still only has the 2016 maps. New updates has new maps but the year is still showing 2016 on the maps.
