Title: onX Hunt or Huntstand or?
Post by: Bo_nimrod on December 12, 2023, 04:50:15 AM: Just wondering what everyone prefers. :dunno: onX Hunt or Huntstand or?
I currently use onX for Washington but am heading to Idaho next year. Do I pay $100 for onX elite now or $30 for Huntstand for Idaho? I believe Huntstand for $30 covers all states.

The block management info loaded into BaseMap was from 2022. Could still look links up directly, but the convenience of having a current, direct link was one big difference. Also have found instances where there were ownership discrepancies, and it turned out OnX was more up to date, which is critical.

I don't think you can go wrong with OnX.

Spartan Forge is another one that might be worth looking into if you want to try something new.

I think I probably have 4-5 different ones on my phone now, but always end up using OnX the most by far. They seem to have the best mapping, best land ownership, public access and best hunting related app with features that are seriously helpful. In my mind, they are the current gold standard. Once competition entered a couple years ago they seem to really have upped their game.

As mentioned, they go on sale or have codes all the time, don't pay full price.

Post by: JWBINX on December 14, 2023, 08:31:13 AM: I had Basemap last year and it worked fine, but they where very slow to update land ownership.
I had problems with it not wanting to focus properly when zooming in while my friend with onX
had no problems.
I'm going to go with onX this year, they seem to set the standard.
