OnX ran like hot garbage on my Android phones. It runs so much smoother on iPhones.

Also Google earth has a desktop version with a lot more features than the browser version. Both are free.

OnX in the field and GOHUNT on the laptop. I have tried GOHUNT in the field, just doesn’t work as well as onX. I do really like Gohunt topo map that they have on the app, but it just never works well and is slow to load when in service. If they could get that dialed in, I would probably just drop onx.

DaNewb:
A cool 'feature' of OnX is the sync'ing of real-time gps tracking between both smartphone & desktop versions...without cell service.

If you're out in the woods with your smartphone, with OnX tracking enabled and your OnX desktop version is also open on a computer at home...anyone watching the desktop version will get real-time updates as to your location and movements in the field.

A smartphone with an active account or phone number is also not needed to use OnX. I use an old inactive phone I wouldn't care to lose for outdoor stuff, but then, it's also the only smartphone I own because dinosaurs do still walk the earth.

That is actually pretty cool. I will have to remember that
