COMMISSION

OHV routes are color coded specifically for ATV, motorcycle, snowmobile, full size 4x4s,
street legal vehicles, and green sticker vehicles such as dune buggies and side-by-sides.
The OwlsheadGPS.com website provides three products for GPS and computer users:
•§
a tool to view a map of the designated OHV route network;
•§
a GPS map that can be installed on most GPS devices; and
•§
downloadable OHV route files for computers and GPS devices.
The OwlsheadGPS Project’s tools and data are free to use and are available to the public
via any computer or mobile device—with or without an internet connection. Route maps and
data can be downloaded, stored, and used outdoors by the end user at any time.
As of 2016, the project area covers 101 million acres, 37,116 routes encompassing
57,077 miles of trails with the goal of expanding to all California public lands. The latest
phase of this project was funded through a 2014/2015 OHMVR education and safety grant
to convert the OwlsheadGPS.com web-based data and system for use in applications
for GPS-enabled iOS and Android mobile devices. The grant also funded data and map
updates to OHV route designations that are expected to occur in BLM’s West Mojave
planning area.
