I appreciate onX Backcountry Trail Maps GPS because it seems mindfully designed. It allows you to download maps for offline use, which is wonderful for when you're trying to disconnect and be present in nature. The app helps track patterns of where you've been without being invasive. I also like that it shows property boundaries; that kind of awareness is really important for responsible outdoor recreation. Knowing I can explore without the app constantly pinging for data or, worse, selling my information to Facebook, is a big plus. It encourages healthy usage patterns by letting you plan ahead and then mindfully disconnect while you're out on the trail. It's perfect for an evening wind-down activity, planning a hike for the next day and getting a sense of the route.
