One more reason why I love OnX

I'm for the most part very pleased with my one state OnX subscription. I travel quite a bit enjoying the outdoors, use it kayak fishing rivers and lakes, Dirtbiking, Mountain biking, mushroom hunting, hiking, Arrowhead hunting, super helpful hunting public land, and the save map feature is key in river bottoms where usually one cannot get service. They have always been helpful with questions or glitches. I give it two thumbs up.

Dropped on X due several reasons land not updating property images, boundaries are off, can't connect in a lot of places. Went with Basemap so far no problem with anything and I get the entire USA for $30.

When you go into a no service area with onx you need to make sure you are logged in first before you lose service. I keep my phone and tablet constantly logged in to avoid this problem. After that it's as simple as using the offline function.  I've had a couple glitches with offline maps not loading properly but not many. I think it may have been related to not using the offline function and the phone trying to update with memory from storage.
The summer time areal photos are out of date and not being able to see through the trees in some areas is a downfall.
Property lines that I have seen match up well with borders in onx.

If these guys at onx and the other apps are turkey hunters, how do you know this isn't just some "Deep State" scheme to hack into your secret turkey spots, and your paying them to do it.  :TooFunny:

It is what I have been using as well, they have better zoom than OnX but their maps are not as new. Other than that I like it.

Few things in my lifetime have changed the way I hunt more than mapping software. I love being able to mark things on a map and use topo intel in the field to plan a move on a gobbler. Wished they had a turkey scratch icon to use so I sent a question today and got this reply within the hour. Good stuff.

Glad you sent that message to them. Been thinking myself many times this season I wish they had a turkey scratching icon and just thought yesterday I need to message them.

Guess I'll still send them that message and hopefully with multiple requests we'll see it happen.

I heard last year a few got in trouble for doing just that..True or not who knows.

I have the elite package all the states...I'm fairly happy other then as mentioned the detail is garbage..Google maps smokes onX and it's free..So what it don't have property lines and fancy pin drops.

I may check into others myself,just sucks to have so much saved on one platform

I was just joking, sleep deprivation and all.

I'm not signed up for any of those programs and hadn't heard about any of that going on last year.
Goggle maps are pretty handy.

I still think it's cheaper to just get your friends all likkered up and talking to find out about good secret spots

Prime example of the pro's of ONX the other day, hunting a national forest with very little private, of course a few birds were on the line, followed the map and got into position on a little sliver that went in between the private, confirmed by fence lines but they were not posted.

Called in the flock and killed one!

When you "add a waypoint" in your tools tab you can choose between a lot of icons, you can also color code the point, add notes, etc.
