I use both BaseMap & OnX, they’re both better than the other at certain things. Lately I’ve been using OnX a lot more because it’s easier to organize my information on the map- I can set my points to show a different picture & a different color for different activities, BaseMap makes you choose one or the other. The other huge thing for me is OnX has CarPlay. I’m primarily a bird hunted, so I can see posted land & available land on my stereo while I’m driving. That’s huge to me.

Well I am old, and I like clunky things. Don’t own a smart phone. Have a flip phone because family insisted I have something.

When hunting I run a Rhino 650 and a InReach mini, paired to a mini IPad I carry in my pack. I down loaded all the maps Earthmate would handle. And for me it all works for what I need to get around.
I may upgrade to a mini IPad with chip and cellular which would give me better map views.

I also have goggle earth.

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.
