Trails Offroad Adventure Guide going away

[AVGeek99]

I just discovered this today, super disappointed!!

I used the adventure guides and integrated Trails Offroad when I was in Moab in March and worked great. It had some quirky bugs that were a bit annoying but I figured they would be easy to fix. It was very convenient to have the trail map along side the pitch and roll guages on screen.

I am generally not a fan of paying for subscriptions just to use features built into the vehicle that I bought and paid for. But for features like this I fully understand there are ongoing costs to maintain/update/improve. Adventure Guides with integrated Trails Offroad was one subscription that I would have happily paid for as long as I own my Jeep.

The follow me mode using Android Auto works OK, but I've never figured out how to get the waypoint descriptions to show up onscreen. Maybe they've added this since the last time I used it. I guess I'll find out today.

We appreciate that! If you had an Adventure Guides subscription, you can claim the same amount of time on Trails Offroad at no cost. It includes the entire Trails Offroad library, GPS recording, offline capabilities, and list features.

Just visit https://www.trailsoffroad.com/adventure-guides and enter your VIN in the form. Once verified, your free Trails Offroad access will begin from the date you claim it and will match the length of your Adventure Guides subscription.


We totally get wanting more Waypoint detail on the vehicle screen while you’re out on the trail. We want that too.

The limitation comes directly from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Their driver-distraction rules limit how much Waypoint text can be shown on the in-dash screen while driving.
