Title: ONX Hunt app
Post by: Gonehuntin01 on August 19, 2020, 08:03:50 AM
Does anyone know if you can buy a couple states or do you have to buy the whole US?  I'm hunting Washington and Oregon and am curious if I need to buy the single state or multiple.  Thanks in advance.

You can buy one state or all of them.  You can pay monthly though and just buy a few months a year.

That said, for $99 a year, it's going to be in big trouble when GoHunt rolls out their maps and you get mapping plus all of the tag info for a few bucks a year more.

Basemap i believe gives you all 50 states for the same 30 bucks a year. It seems to be a good app, just not quite as user friendly as OnX.

Camofire had single states and all, keep an eye there

That's my only complaint about OnX so far.  Is only being able to purchase one state, or having to purchase all of them at once.

If you call them, they will give you a deal on the just the states you want. They have done that for me the past couple years.

I’m trying out BaseMap this year because it’s way cheaper. I think onx is a littler more intuitive and has some better features but it may be that I’m just not used to basemap yet

Back in 2018 when I went to ID to hunt elk and wolf, I got a hold of OnX to see if I could just purchase ID, and they turned me down. Maybe if I call again, things might be different?  ID is really the only other state I want besides WA.  And WY... and oh wait... maybe MT...  :chuckle:

You can buy single states, you just have to set up a different account for each state, using a different email address.... 

Kind of a PIA, but saves you a little cash if you only want 2 or 3 states and you get the 17.99 deal on Camofire.

Not sure what this is all about. I bought the chip with my Garman gps 2 years ago for WA. It still works. I bought the Mt chip last year and planned on using it again this year. Is it supposed to quit after a year?

Up to date ownership.   :chuckle:  Property we bought over 2 years ago hasn't been updated.   :bash:

Right? Tht only proves that the chip is a great deal because its "effective" beyond 1 year.

Keep your eye on camofire.com, I just picked up the 50 state OnX for $59.99  :tup:

If you are military or LEO, give them a call.  The discount is pretty dang good.

I’ll echo this. They still have a few kinks to work out in the beta phase but GoHunt is really putting together a good thing with their mapping product. The 3D feature alone is so nice. It just about eliminates the need to jump back and forth on apps like you would with OnX and Google Earth. They’ll be dropping their phone app soon too. Will be hard to justify paying for two separate products if I can get my tag research and mapping for all states on one app.

I'm also hunting both Washington and Oregon this year. I bought one year of the ONX app just for Washington. I think it was $25 using the "RMEF " discount code. I have noticed that It also gives me an Oregon map, but with out all the layers that I have for Washington (talking about land ownership, GMU boundaries and elevations), but still a good map that will let you mark waypoints and keep tracks. Since I know my Oregon hunt is on public land I will plan on using my ONX version there. I will carry my Garmin GPS because I already have one with an Oregon chip but expect the ONX on my phone to be all I'll really need.

Basemap is on camo fire right now for $18.00 free shipping.
Ive never used it but I figured for $18.00 cant hurt to have both onx and basemap.

I agree, might just go that direction.  I have to do a little research first.

you can use the basic stuff in basemap free of charge too.

I've spent many years in the software industry, and have talked w/ OnX in a professional capacity - they have made some "interesting" decisions (my opinion of course). I'd choose GoHunt and it's up and coming features over the others.

Basemap has gotten to the point they can do what On X does, but they got there in a fraction of the time and with a lot less people and choose to reflect that in their product costs it seems. Basemap are WA boys too, its a local grown product.

There are lots of GIS systems out there that are a lot more powerful than any of these, but you would have to roll your own hunt specific layers to take advantage of that, definitely not a convenience.

One thing to keep in mind with parcel data and up to datedness - all of these are totally reliant on records from county assessors - it's not uncommon for county records to not get updated in a timely manner, some counties are a little slower than others...

Thanks for all the info guys.  I'm still up in the air for now.  I'm definitely going to be doing some research to figure out what's going to work best for me.  I already have Washington on OnX, just trying to figure out the rest.
