I have been using VVmapping for a long time. They are pretty much spot on, the auto routing on trails is pretty cool and Jeremy keeps things updated often as well as offering personalized service.

 

I have both of these and they both are very good. I like VV Mappings turn by turn directions even though I don't use it very often. We also ride spearhead trails and VV Mapping is the only one that has it. The only problem is VV mapping does not have West side of royal blue, Tackett Creek or Pickett on it and you about have to have the maps to ride there. Dans map for TN are probably the best and that's where we ride the most.

 

Thanks for the replies. Do either offer free updates or is it buy once and buy again later when they are out of date?

VVmapping has free updates up to a certain time frame. Check site. Everything is spelled out before you buy.

 

I have vvmapping and I have only used it in the State of Michigan. It is hands down the best available within the State Of Michigan. It is pretty easy to distinguish the different orv trails, routes, and legal roads. I use it on my Garmin as well as on my desktop to create planned rides - and then transfer to my tablets for viewing. I have spent a lot of hours this past off season playing around with different variations of Map programs. Vvmaping paired with Garmin Basecamp and Backcountry Navigator have been the best overall option for my needs -- I have never used Dans Maps, but I see a lot of good reviews on these as well.

 

I couldn't decide between the two since both come highly recommended. So I bought both. Thanks for the replies

Since you purchased both, be sure to share your thoughts at a later date!

 

Will do, I'll be there next weekend to try them out

Update,
I know this is an old post but I did use both sets of maps on my last 2 trips to Tennessee. I have no complaints out of either one of them. Both worked great and were accurate. The one difference, which others have noted is that Dan's Maps do include Tackett Creek. Luckily I had them on my GPS because we went there with some people that had rode there before, but they got turned around and couldn't remember how to get out of there. Luckily, I was able to guide us out of there using Dan's Maps and we didn't have to spend the night in the woods. For Christmas I got a new tablet with Lifetime Trail Maps. Just messing around with it, this seems like it is another great setup, it will be another nice way to navigate.
