There are a ton of threads on here on this topic from users and from the guys at onXmaps if you use the search function too.
It's a good tool.

I going to spend the $30 and see how well I like it. I'm planning a 2017 hunt in eastern Montana and there have been some shady ranchers moving fences some serious distance into public land. Several years ago a friend got a trespassing ticket on a piece of land that turned out to be public despite what the ranch owner and the officer who issued the ticket claimed. He spent 2 years getting a stupid $100 ticket dismissed just to get the fences moved back to the proper location.That's unfortunate but at least you would have a defensible case. In Wyoming the officers use the onX software, and it is indicates you are on public land you wouldn't be cited for trespass, even if it were wrong.

I have an I phone, how's the battery life last when your using the map?
If you have cell service it's not too bad. If you're out of service, it does go through the batteries.

I use my iphone and OnXMaps on every hunt... I find it invaluable. Regarding saving the battery. I hunt in an area where service is unavailable so you can download the area(s) you will be hunting and save them in the "cache." I keep my phone in airplane mode 90% of the time. Then, when you need to know where you are and either mark a way point, overlook etc you just turn the airplane mode off and then use the gps feature on the phone in conjunction with the cached maps. Saves the battery in a big way! You could run it constantly but let's be honest, you'll only need to look at it periodically.

It's like that everywhere, I took that pic by zooming out fast. It didn't get a chance to adjust
Do you have the layers turned on for national forest or federal land or whatever it says?

I don't think you have to switch off of airplane mode to drop a point or see where you are. In my little bit of playing with it since Hunt 3.0 came out I can turn on tracking with the phone on airplane mode and it will lay a perfect gps track. Haven't tried dropping any points yetI have an I phone, how's the battery life last when your using the map?

I just checked... You're correct, OnX maps runs even if in airplane mode.
I end up closing the program after every waypoint drop or viewing because if you run the GPS continuously the battery is drained quickly. Sorry for the confusion.
