Collaborative Folders: Plan the Adventure Together
Collaborative Folders in onX Backcountry help you and your crew stay aligned before you hit the trail. From route planning to sharing campsites, everyone contributes to the plan in one place.

Pro Tip:
If you’re anything like us, you have a ton of custom markups on your maps from many incredible adventures. When you want a clean and organized map, you can temporarily hide an entire Folder’s content from view—just navigate to My Content, select a Folder, and check “Hide Folder on Map.”
