I realize this is an old post, but I'd like to know if anyone is using this.
Thanks in advance.

I did try this app and a few others from 2015 to 2019. Off the top of my head they were Pocket Ranger, Trail Link, Alltrails, US Topo Maps Pro and one other that is no longer offered. My favorite app is the US Topo Maps Pro. It really has everything you could want for planning and executing a ride pretty much anywhere including offroad locations. Great dashboard too. There is a free limited version. It doesn't offer suggestions on where to ride though.

I've pared down on all the apps except the US Topo and Garmin Connect. Mostly I plan a ride and use the Garmin Connect to show me where I went, the terrain I rode and how I did on the ride. I still enjoy looking for places to ride on the internet and mapping it out.

Thanks JR. Looked at US topo, didn't realize there was a free trial available. May well follow your lead on this since we are in the same (often poorly charted) part of the world. I am in central Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna halfway between harrisburg and Williamsport.
