Yes we carry them, they are 24k topo with public and private BUT NO PARCEL INFO. What they have over the x maps is Birdseye sati lite imagery overlay. Is it super cool? Sometimes.... Other times I gets cluttered imo

One thing people always confuse with birdseye sat imagery is its not as dimensional as google earth,vit's a flat image. But it is handy for looking into that next basin over to see what it looks like without actually having to hike over there needlessly

spin05,

No experience with Garmin's Hunt Maps.  However, I just wanted to pass along that Birdseye imagery will overlay with the OnXmaps.  The overlay will still allow you to see all markings from the OnXmap. To verify I was not screwed up, I turned on my GPS and enabled a Birdseye image.  I was able to see the Birdseye and all topo lines and boundaries through the image...ect.

We did a comparison of the features and map accuracy.
