I run an app called Osmand on an android tablet with a Garmin GPS puck. I tried Gaia and BCN, and never was a big fan of either. In numerous cases I would grab what I thought was enough tiles for a trip, and midway through find myself in an area I hadn't downloaded. Osmand has a high level of...

Insky!

With ski season in northern Utah suffering as of late, the cogs of spring fever have been in motion for both me (Charles) and my girlfriend (Lauren). I have been putting in a lot of shop weekends working on a backcountry trailer build, but I was feeling a major need to put down the wrenches and...

Spotted Fred at the gas station in Price last Friday night! I remembered seeing your phrase "the more we explore", but couldn't remember where until tonight. Cruising some posts and made the connection, super cool! I will say hi next time. I was admiring the 4x4 conversion as I filled up a cup...

A couple action shots from Cliffhanger in Moab. The Jeep gets it done, and I loved this trail.

Great photos, great report! This area has been on my list for a long time, and this makes me think its time to just pull the trigger and go. Liking the new Jeep!

Greg, that would be much appreciated! Please do so. You all pulled my arm, talked me into it :). I'll be headed up Providence Canyon and into the surrounding network of roads Saturday afternoon. Thanks for the updated beta info gentlemen. If you have plans to be out there give a shout out...

Awesome, I appreciate the updated info and the recommendation. I will get my nose back in the maps and see what I come up with. I know there aren't a lot of difficult roads up there but I have been on some fun ones. The more difficult the better for this trip though. (pardon the SN change...

I am planning a trip to the Logan area this weekend, and I was wondering if Providence Canyon is on the table / open? All the info I can find is pretty dated. Any insight is much appreciated, thanks!

I had never been down this late in spring, and they were AWESOME! I had never seen these in bloom, or the Palo Verde for that matter. Had an awesome trip. HAH! Thanks. It was very tempting, and we had some refreshing spray in the Jeep a couple times :) Yes, and my though process has evolved on...

I took my trusty steed out to Sycamore Creek in AZ, and had a great time in some epic weather!

TRD270, each map varies and the program gives you an option to have routing or not which has an impact on size. With routing I believe Utah was 86mb. My Asus is a 7", and I really like the size for this purpose. I also find it large enough to work with for the other tablet tasks I use it for...

Fun video! I like the perspective. Can you offer any more info of where that trail is? I would love to see it for myself but haven't heard of it/ have no idea where to go.

Quick little update to add to the tablet gps info. I just downloaded a free app called MAPS.ME that I am super stoked about and have just begun playing with. It gives me cacheable maps and street routing availability by state, and many world countries. Addresses are all searchable, as well as...

My pleasure! The tablet is mounted in my JK using a Ram X-Grip, connected to a milled aluminum JK grab bar from Carolina Metal Masters that incorporates the lower ball for the Ram system. The X-Grip makes it super simple to take the tablet in/out and it does not matter what type of case you...
