If you want your wife to be able to track your location you need to get a zoleo or a garmin in reach. Though I’d guess starlink is going to make it possible to get service any where in the near future and eliminate the need for a zoleo or in reach.

I prefer OnX. I have tried base maps, go hunt and others but feel OnX is best all around and they continue to add more to it.

:yeah: I use OnX and had a garmin up until this fall when I grabbed a Zoleo. Nice combo

For in the field navigation i still use OnX but for e-scouting GoHunts mapping is absolutely fantastic. Gotta be on a laptop or desktop to truly take advantage of it.:yeah:

I’m sure soon enough texting through satellite will make the inreach obsolete so I wouldn’t invest in one if I didn’t already have mine. I still carry it for emergencies but that is it.

I have ran into at least two times where public land showed up private on GoHunt and a couple other cases where the boundaries were not right, off by a couple hundred yards. I don't know if they fixed that or not, but it was the reason I switched back to OnX a couple years ago.

In the field OnX for sure. They have closed the gap for e-scouting as well to the point where I only buy GoHunt if I need the research. OnX has some now that's OK if you just need a general idea.

I have seen areas where the OnX property lines are off as well so always double check before getting right next to the line.

When hunting I run a Rhino 650 and a InReach mini, paired to a mini IPad I carry in my pack. I down loaded all the maps Earthmate would handle. And for me it all works for what I need to get around.
I may upgrade to a mini IPad with chip and cellular which would give me better map views.
I also have goggle earth.

Also Google earth has a desktop version with a lot more features than the browser version. Both are free.
