Onx maps anyone used it?

[follow maggie]

I use it on my iphone & my computer. Like it a lot

I saw this and looked onxmaps up and bought it. One question, why is it a faded shade where I want to look at. Everywhere I look up it has a light haze over it. I zoom out fast and the areas around are nice and clear. I'm new to it , so I was just wondering. Thanks

Might have to do with the layers you have set up. If it is a piece of private versus public or state versus federal, etc.

It's like that everywhere, I took that pic by zooming out fast. It didn't get a chance to adjust

If your going to hunt montana it is an absolutely critical piece of gear.

I have used it New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and Colorado. It's unreal!

Do you have the layers turned on for national forest or federal land or whatever it says?

[jackelope]

Some layers turned on:



All layers turned off:

I have the chip in my garmin etrex 20 and I absolutely love it. Didn't realize where I was hunting I crossed between gmus several times made a big difference as the regulations are different between the two.

Got it off. Thanks

I have an I phone, how's the battery life last when your using the map?

If you have cell service it's not too bad. If you're out of service, it does go through the batteries.

I use my iphone and OnXMaps on every hunt... I find it invaluable. Regarding saving the battery. I hunt in an area where service is unavailable so you can download the area(s) you will be hunting and save them in the "cache." I keep my phone in airplane mode 90% of the time. Then, when you need to know where you are and either mark a way point, overlook etc you just turn the airplane mode off and then use the gps feature on the phone in conjunction with the cached maps. Saves the battery in a big way! You could run it constantly but let's be honest, you'll only need to look at it periodically.

I don't think you have to switch off of airplane mode to drop a point or see where you are. In my little bit of playing with it since Hunt 3.0 came out I can turn on tracking with the phone on airplane mode and it will lay a perfect gps track. Haven't tried dropping any points yet

I was actually just looking at their site... I have used it before, the 30 day trial. It worked well and had very detailed info. I would recommend it.

i have the onx for my gps and i forgot it at the house last weekend. headed over east and crested a ridge into a canyon with close to 40 mule deer in it and ran into a private property sign so i turned around. got home and double checked that chunk of land and it ended up being state land. never again will i forget my gps with the onx app while out scouting

Most valuable tool I have on me.

Except Whitman county!!
Unless I need to update my version. Whitman is a blank on my onx map
