ONX, GO HUNT, BASE MAPS

[Gonehuntin01]

What is everyone's opinion on the different options here.  I have only used ONX and had good luck, but am seeing some great features with the others.  Let me know what you think.

Go hunt is more on planning hunts, unit breakdown and draw odds not really a gps program like onx or basemap. 
I haven't played with basemap enough to tell you if its better than onx but at first glance basemap is a lot cheaper for all 50 states and in my opinion has better imaging.

[HUNT JR]

 I agree that basemap seems to have better imaging. I also have not used it enough to give it an honest review. I have OnX figured out and dont look to change much. The new GoHunt imaging software looks nice, but being so new I also havent tried it. Hopefully it is reliable right away.

Been using base maps for two years. Love it. Had onx for a few months and it just didn't impress me. But that was a couple years ago so it could of changed. But I have no reason to switch.

My impression is that GoHunt will have a working mapping app in the near future but it's not ready for this season.  I use Gaia GPS - add that to your list of ones to check out.  A bit cheaper than OnX (probably because they don't pay for advertising on hunting shows) and has public/private land layers, GMU boundaries, satellite imagery and multiple kinds of topo maps if you get one of the upper tier memberships

[Stein]

I have OnX but will be dropping it once GoHunt comes out with theirs as there will hopefully be no reason to pay for a separate program.  I honestly use it much more in the desktop planning stage than during the hunt, but it's nice to have for sure when Plan A doesn't work.

ONx recently added a 3d function that will be a nice upgrade

[Brushcrawler]

So far the OnX 3-d beta isn’t very impressive. I think the rest of the program is awesome though.

It’s more like 2.3D.

Is the 3D available now?  First I've heard of it.  Haven't received any notification from OnX.

I have liked what I have seen so far in the Beta version. I heard Randy Newberg talking about the full version and he said its pretty awesome

[Stein]

Randy's opinion may change when the sponsorships are renewed, I can't imagine he will be repping both OnX and GoHunt but who knows.

[Gonehuntin01]

Good to hear everyone's opinions on this.  I currently am using OnX, just putting some feelers out to see what everyone else thinks.  I'm very interested in what GoHunt has coming out and definitely a plus, being all in one program.

[vandeman17]

I think both serve different purposes so why couldn't he rep both? Onx for in the field navigation and Gohunt for offseason prep and research.

[Stein]

Because GoHunt is going to become a direct competitor to OnX very soon when they release their mapping software.

Oh gotcha

I'm hoping to switch to gohunt, but I want the share waypoint feature as I use that quite a bit.

Onx has been getting clunky lately, lost a lot of downloaded maps and its freezing up when I go to mark my location, have to close and reopen it in order for the waypoint to show up so I can immediately edit it, or it just ends up being a random dot on a map and can't remember why I made it. 

Also I hate downloading offline maps, it was super easy at one time you just clicked grids and they downloaded, now you gotta scroll around and it goes through this "preparing map for downloading" bs. Then downloading several maps at once is a nightmare...take foooreeevveeerrrr to get a new area ready to hunt!

Do any of the other ones show landowner info as much as ONYX does?

[Wazntme]

It would be a tedious task to switch all of my waypoints to a new platform so I’m stuck with onX at this point.

Basemap is fully customizable. Property owner info, land boundaries, road's, trails, topo, water depth contours, hunt gmus...the list is long.
And saving a offline map is as easy as a screen shot.

Just upgraded my iphone Onx to try the 3D enhancement - it erased all my maps !

It doesn’t look that tedious....

Just did the update myself and I still have my maps

I've learned to not be in the first wave updating OnX, especially when they introduce them right before hunting season.

It's not fully out, just the Beta.  I believe it is only available on iOS devices, so iPhones and MACs.

Maybe you just need to update them? It took a few minutes but mine came through just fine. Send them a message if it doesn’t work, I lost a few maps months ago and they were able to call me and talk me through a fix within a couple of days.

Onx is glitching out and freezing up

Just called onx, the 3d feature isn't available for android phones.

I had some freezing issues, they said 1000 waypoints is  *a lot*  and too many tracks causes data issues, said to delete tracks if they're just roads you've driven down.
