Recent Imagery for Off-Roading

Scope the terrain and trail conditions with the most recent satellite imagery to plan precisely and navigate safe off-roading adventures. Exclusively with onX Offroad Elite.

Look Back. Plan Ahead. Do More.

Recent Imagery Feature

Recent Imagery gives you the insight to plan smarter and see if a route is accessible by watching trends in trails and terrain over time. Monitor changing snow lines, thawing bodies of water, field cuts, timber thinning, wildfires or prescribed burns, and much more with frequently updated, advanced aerial imagery.

How Does Recent Imagery Work?

Elite users can select the Recent Imagery layer in your Basemaps Menu to apply medium-resolution (5-meter) imagery to your 2D and 3D maps that reflect conditions from two weeks prior (currently back to March 2023). Using the date range bar, toggle through previous conditions and track changes over time.

 Recent Imagery was recognized as a top innovation for adventurers by Time Magazine
