Hi,
Hopefully next year I can get some time to get the Jimny across the water and take on some adventures abroad. Obviously here we have Trailwise2, but what do people use when going to places like Spain / Portugal or Norway?
Cheers
I've done a fair bit of trail riding in the Pyrenees, planning routes each day. The general rule is that unless there is a sign saying you can't go there, or a chain/locked gate etc, then you can. Lots of great tracks and very few people on them. Some will be very slow and bumpy in a 4x4!
Offroading is not allowed In Norway. You will get a fine up to 100 euro if you leave the road especially in the Mountains.
That said, if the track looks like a road, or is marked like a road on the official maps, it is ok.

I live in Norway and do a lot of overlanding.
There is so much to see and experience and discover without breaking any laws.
Sorry for being so defensive But it is from experience.
Viv and I went to Norway about 15 times over a period of a dozen or so years. We used a Land Cruiser and a Shogun. As Yakuza has said, there is plenty to see without breaking any rules. Just think Scotland but a whole lot grander. We only stopped because they closed the ferry service from North Shields to Bergen. We climbed as high as 1,500 meters and drove 40 miles along a dirt road to a small hotel complex that is closed in Winter. If they reopened the ferry, we would return.
