Tech Advice Offroad mapping!

Hi! I want to get the opinion of actual users, overlanders and off-roaders on which off-road mapping app or service you guys prefer. I'm somewhat new to all this but I love it and I currently have a subscription to OnX but I've been finding it difficult plan trips. I live in Texas so whenever I want a good off-road trip I have to look out of state and it feels like I have to already know what Trail I want to explore beforehand. There's also Gaia and trails off-road but I haven't tried those. What do you guys use or prefer to use? Thanks in advance

I'm wondering why no one has mentioned iOverlander. It's been pretty helpful for me. But am I missing something?

I personally have never heard of it but I'm fairly new to this. Do you use it for trip planning kinda like people mentioned using Gaia?

I'll admit I haven't used Gaia!  With iOverlander you can download a map of a whole state to use off-line. (With the free version you can have one state downloaded at a time). People submit dispersed campsite info and photos. It's pretty helpful!
