Quick Answer
onX Maps supports offline navigation for hunting, allowing you to save maps and access them without a cellular connection. This feature is enabled through their offline map downloads, which can be accessed via the app's settings. Users can select specific areas of interest and download detailed topographic maps for use in the field.
Offline Map Downloads and Pre-Scouting
onX Maps allows users to download maps for offline use, covering entire states, national forests, or even individual parcels of land. For example, a user can download a 20 GB map package for the entire state of Colorado, which includes detailed topographic layers and public land boundaries. This pre-scouting feature enables users to plan their hunts in advance, identify potential locations, and create routes for offline navigation.
In-Field Navigation and Waypoint Management
Within the app, users can create and manage waypoints, including the ability to save and edit custom locations, routes, and markers. This allows hunters to track their movements and mark key locations such as stand sites, water sources, or animal tracks. Users can also enable and disable various map layers, including topographic, satellite, and public land boundaries, to suit their specific navigation needs. For example, a user can disable public land boundaries to focus on their own private property or to avoid unnecessary clutter on their map.
