Title: OnX Hunt Updates
Post by: fisheral87 on August 15, 2018, 04:57:03 PM: Anyone used the app since the latest update? I’m looking for information on the offline maps, the map file size has decreased significantly and I want to be sure I am getting the correct content?

Thanks,

Al

Easy way to check is to download the map, close the program and/or restart your phone and put it immediately in airplane mode, and see if your map is there.

I've been using the app since the update but haven't tried downloading / using offline.

Post by: fisheral87 on August 17, 2018, 08:00:52 PM: Maybe I’m just behind on the updates and it’s because the blocks are smaller. They went from 300MBs to 100MBs in size with the same layers but everything does seem to be there.

I’d like to see them have a better option for downloading more area than clicking through to get each block.

Thanks all.
