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.

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.

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
