What's everyone using for map apps?
OnXmaps 100%

I am interested in these maps as well.
Do any of these maps tell you who owns the property and whether or not property is public or Private?
I use OnX and Topo Maps+. OnX gives landowner names and mailing address, but does cost a yearly fee.
I also use the free version of Topo Maps+, which uses the USGS maps for topography, which at times shows me more details.
With both apps, you can download maps to use while offline or don't have service and both have aerial imaging as an option.
X2 ONX maps
OnX is extremely popular. And from what I've seen, for good reason. Everybody I know who has it feels it is well worth the price.
As a mapmaker (GIS Specialist) in my previous professional life, I build my own custom maps and then use the Avenza app. But, wouldn't recommend that for everybody. OnX is tough to beat at this point.
OnX user too. One state is 29.99 per year. Pretty reasonable to me. I love the download feature as many areas I hunt are spotty.
Gaia
I use HuntStand and OnX Hunt. I prefer OnX but there are a few features that neither have that the other does so I use them both pretty regularly.
I have a 20% off code if anyone wants to try OnX Hunt. Just use "mossyoak" for a 20% discount on the subscription.

OnX for me as well. I really like being able to quickly bounce between aerial and topo or hybrid.

I've had OnX and Basemap.
Switched to Gaia and just renewed for another year.
Big onX fan here. Use it for hunting and work. Where I'm from it's so flat you can watch your dog run away for a week so topo doesn't do me much good. But other parts of my state are hilly and I've started looking at hybrid topo when I go to these places but any quick tips/tricks y'all that use topo have kinda picked up on to make it easier to understand. Sorry, don't mean to highjack the thread.
OnX....gota go... turkey gobbling.
I've tried several and onX is by far the best.
I use both HuntStand and onX both provide landowner and public land information. I buy an onX single state 1 year map if I plan on going somewhere on vacation or out of state hunting and want to download the maps. They also have some layers that HuntStand doesn't have. However, HuntStand was only $20 for all states this past fall and I bought that version. I use it mainly for my local areas but it's nice to have some of that additional information HuntStand offers if I don't have an onX map for states I'm traveling through.
Camofire has onX single state maps for $18 about once a week. Their shipping is like $4 so I generally buy two, considering these are just postcard size pieces of paper, it makes me feel like I'm getting my money's worth on shipping. Then I enter the code for the second one when I need it. They also sell the elite cards for like $60 (don't remember the exact price).
I have GaiaGPS and onX. Gaia is like Android and onX is like an iPhone. Meaning Gaia will do more but is slightly more difficult to use...but the stuff you do use day in and day out is just easier on onX. However, a recent complaint on onX is that they changed their aerial images partner and now (especially in the SE) the aerial images is a summer image and it is all greened out so that you can't see two tracks, lanes, and features that used to be easier to see. This will likely be anywhere in the east. They say they are working on it. So who knows.

I do exactly this as well. OnX is great for finding public lands, but Topo Maps+ gives much better detail and often shows old Jeep trails and roads that OnX doesn't in the topo realm. Plus it's free! Highly recommend.
Thanks guys
As cell service has improved in the more remote areas I hunt, I migrated to Huntstand and OnX. Each have their strengths. To pick one I think it would be OnX.
But for a free, easy to use app on the app store its really hard to beat "US Topo Maps" Even if you drop off a side hill into a hollow without any cell signal, you can still take a screen shot of the topo, and it doesn't cost a dime.
I've been using OnX for a couple years now and love it. It does everything I need it to do, and more.
OnX changed hunting I love having the whole package.not only do I have the states I've been to marked up but I have potential trips ready to go.

I have Gaia and OnX. Much prefer Gaia. OnX is too 'cluttery' and runs slower on my phone and browser than Gaia. Gaia is cheaper too.
