DryRig vs iOverlander

iOverlander is a community-sourced overlanding database with a free ad-supported tier and optional paid subscriptions.

iOverlander and DryRig both help you find places to camp. iOverlander's app is free to download, with ads: the free tier allows one place-download set at a time and does not include offline maps or search. Optional plans listed on iOverlander's site are Pro at $59.99/year and Unlimited at $99.99/year (USD; the app shows prices in other regions). Unlimited is required to download places for large countries such as the US and Canada in one tap. DryRig focuses on the US and Canada with locations drawn from authoritative public sources, summarized reviews, cell-coverage estimates, and a low-clearance bridge layer.

About iOverlander

We don't assert precise, dated feature lists for other apps — those change, and the honest move is to check the source and try a few. Here's iOverlander's general positioning:

iOverlander is a community-sourced database of camping, water, fuel, and other traveler-useful points. Its own subscriptions page lists a free tier with ads, Pro at $59.99/year (three place sets and three offline maps at a time, ad-free, with search), and Unlimited at $99.99/year. Annual plans start with a 7-day free trial. Prices are in USD.
It has worldwide coverage and is a long-time favorite of the overlanding community.
Listings are crowdsourced, so freshness varies by how recently travelers updated a spot.

Where iOverlander is a strong choice: worldwide overland travel and crowdsourced spots outside North America.

Our approach: real data, no fabrication

When DryRig doesn't have a value — a coverage reading, a review — it shows that honestly rather than inventing a number. That's the difference we lead with: every count on this page is traceable to an authoritative public source. Many travelers keep more than one app installed; download DryRig free and compare it against iOverlander on your own routes.

DryRig vs iOverlander: FAQ

Is DryRig free like iOverlander?

DryRig vs iOverlander for the US and Canada?

iOverlander shines worldwide and relies on crowdsourced entries. In the US and Canada, DryRig maps locations from authoritative public sources — Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, NPS, Recreation.gov, and OpenStreetMap — so coverage is broad and consistent across all states and provinces.

Does DryRig work offline like iOverlander?

DryRig lets you download regions and listings so the map keeps working where there's no cell service, and those downloads are part of the free app. On iOverlander, offline maps are not included in the free tier; Pro includes three offline maps at a time and Unlimited includes unlimited maps.

Does DryRig show low-clearance bridges?

Yes. DryRig includes a dedicated low-clearance bridge and tunnel layer sourced from OpenStreetMap and cross-checked against the National Tunnel Inventory — important for tall RVs and not a typical focus of general crowdsourced databases.
