What is the best gps to use for Wisconsin trails. I was thinking on something with a 5" screen and mount to the dash. Looking for input.

I have an iPad with the GAIA GPS app. It's able to save all my tracks, unlike a GPS that quickly fills up, needs to be uploaded to my computer and then they're no longer available on the GPS - it's impossible to see where I rode a year ago. I'm paying $29 a year but it has free access too, I'm not sure if I have to pay for track storage, I figured that part out after I signed up. If track storage is free, what matters to me, then I'm out $29 a year because that's the only feature I care about.

Avenza and OnX are two similar apps.

Screen shots from my iPad, all these tracks are still there for easy viewing -

1500 miles of smiles over 3 weeks -
I bLPBMRn XL

700 miles over 8 days not counting trailer mileage -
I B8z52wX X2

Hold my beer rides - :oops:
I whJQkWX XL

The next two show the importance of long term track storage. I have a lot to ride here and need to know where I haven't ridden. Click on the pic to enlarge and see the topo details.

I have used a 7” Garmin Drive 65 with VV Maps. The screen was too small, so I now use a 10” Samsung Tab A with VV Maps running on the OruxMap app. The tablet is in a Ram mount attached overhead to the ROPS cage.

I have never even owned an iPhone because I can't see the screen but my grandson, who is an avid off-roader, has software in his iPhone that shows all the many trails in WV.

It's probably the same program that CID above mentioned. It's much better than any Garmin GPS I've ever seen.
