Best GPS, Hunt Plotting Phone App

[Brad_Colvin]

I use gaia and onx. I use gaia for map scouting at home because of the vast amount of layers and true usgs topo maps. Their topo maps are way more detailed and the historical satellite imagery is better in most areas than onx. Onx for me is MUCH easier to use in the field for navigation. You can transfer all your pins you dropped on gaia at home to your onx account for in the field navigation.

It's been a few years (due to being transferred with my job) but I use to use the app basemaps and really liked it.  I know the maps had a lot of detail and the platform at that time was user friendly which is always a plus for this dumb hillbilly!

Thank so much for the info.....

Anyone mentioned OnX? My only complaint is the land owner details tend to be dated. At least for Maryland.

I went with Huntstand . Reason being it is Multiple States vs OnX where you pay additional for more than one state. Huntstand Pro which shows property boundaries and owner info cost 24.95 per year (multiple states).  OnX cost 29.95 for a year for one state, 99.00 per year for multiple states. So far it seems real good. I will keep you updated on how it functions. Thanks for all the input.....

I currently use Gaia and like it very much. However, they have a bug they've been working on for some time whereas there are"holes" in the private lands boundaries. My subscription runs out in December. If they don't have this bug fixed by then I'll be buying Huntstand as a replacement.

Good luck with yours. I will keep you filled in on mine. I am just learning it. Once I see how it works in my spots, I will update info. Thx......

I tried OnX. Basemap and Huntstand and Huntwise. of the 3 I liked Basmap the most and found it the easiest to use, though OnX does have more up to date maps. Avoid Huntwise, even if you do cancel before the 7 day trial is up they still charger your card monthly.

Thanks for the heads up Steve. Be safe....

where i hunt i'd say i only have cell service about 5% of the time

what advantages do these services provide if you're "offline" over say just using the state's interactive public land map and having it zoomed into where i'm hunting before i lose connection?

Yes, that will be my test in my New York spots.......I do get cell reception, but it's spotty in one spot...

OnX

OnX

It is a great app, except it would cost me 99 bucks a year because I hunt multiple states. OnX is an excellent app.
