Well i drew myself a MT deer tag and this will be my first time heading over there to hunt. I’ll be hunting solo and still have no idea where I’m going to end up as of yet. If you have any suggestions im all ears!! I’m just curious though, what’s the best week to be out there? I need to request some time off for work and just have no idea when would be best? I was thinking about the week before thanksgiving, but again, I’ve never done this so not sure. When do y’all usually head over to hunt deer? Thanks!
no cell service functionality is pretty broken when it breaks.

I see no reason to carry a handheld GPS anymore.

I see no reason to carry a handheld GPS anymore. saving the maps is only a part of it, when you're off the grid you don't have a base map, last season I ended up having to drive to signal just to get google maps to load so I could see where I was. Not to mention the super slow acquisition time when you make a waypoint. Not realizing I had to stand still until the signal was accurate enough, I created waypoints I later found were hundreds of yards from where I was when I created it. Don't get me wrong, good product for private/public... just not a GPS replacement. Now I use both.

Don't get me wrong, good product for private/public... just not a GPS replacement. Now I use both.When you save the maps to your phone, you absolutely have a base map. You have to go into your OnX and select “Off Grid”. I used my phone and pre-saved maps in Idaho last year with zero issues, including savings waypoints and making tracks. Tbob- sorry for the slight derailment. I don’t have any advice to offer, as this is my first year headed to MT as well.
