This is the same for me

There's definitely someone more qualified to answer this better than me but its possible it was an Early Beta test option for their latest update or its under HD Topo

Every android/onx phone I have hunted around has stopped tracking when onx is in the background, then it resumes with a straight line to the current location when the app is back in the foreground.

I've never had this problem with android, if I completely close the app or phone battery dies it will ask if I want to resume or discard the track and then it draws a straight line, but if I just minimize the app and or lock the screen it always maintains the detailed track for me.

as I mentioned earlier, I have many, many waypoints with a color designated for each species. When I transferred them over to OnX Hunt, it designated all symbols with the default Red. Currently there is no method to 'back shade' or 'mass check off' to sort out a bunch of waypoints for a mass edit

It's tedious to click on each waypoint and make the change. I noticed that you can go into Waypoint File and "check box" a waypoint (or several), to delete or share each one. Could the OnX techs add a "mass edit" check box? For example, all of my mule deer waypoints, I could go down the list and check mark them, then in one stroke change the waypoint color. THNX

It is a little easier with the Onx web map instead of in then app on a phone. Might at least try that.

Your import issue goes then other way as well, when I port Onx color coded and custom symbols waypoints tracks to gaia etc, some deal, all looks the same.

still waiting for desktop offline maps

It would be a lot easier to download onx offline maps for my laptop vs using a developer hack so I can download google earth imagery for offline use when I'm in hunting camp. It would almost make onx a complete e-scouting solution; missing only the ability to import geo referenced pdf/kml/kmz/geotiff overlays.

We hear you, and we absolutely see how that could be useful at times, but right now our focus is on developing features for the Mobile App for in field use, and Web Map features for at home use. At this time, offline maps for the Web Map is not on our development roadmap

That would definitely be a helpful feature when editing a large number of points. We will pass your request along to our engineering team!

Lidar has been released on both iOS and Android. If you are not seeing it on your end, please make sure you are on the most up to date version of the App.

Another argument for having a +/- zoom "Button" function on the OnX Hunt app: When using the app as a GPS mounted in your vehicle while driving, it's very distracting (and dangerous) to be doing the 2-finger "sweep" if you want to zoom in/out on the move...the screen gets smudged up and after the 2-finger sweep, you must push that little button to re-center your position. The present zoom method takes your eyes off the road and a +/- feature would make usage a lot simpler and safer

A few more suggestions: I've been using a Garmin Nuvi w/OnX Hunt Map chip when on the road. When I'm foot, I use Garmin hand-held GPS units w/OnX Hunt Map chip. I had a chance last week to use the OnX Hunt app in my vehicle mounted Tablet with the Garmin Nuvi side by side. I really like most of the features of the app, but in comparison to the Nuvi, it would be helpful to mimic a few of the same features on the app...

- an ability to edit/choose the (don't have a name for it) blue "location" dot. On the Nuvi, I use an arrow that always points in the direction that you are moving.

- an ability to show the elevation of your location "live" as you are on the go. True, you can tap on a spot on the screen to get this info, but that's cumbersome

- an ability to show the speed (mph/kph) "live" as you are on the go.

The less you have to tap on the app screen as you are driving, the better so to keep your eyes on the road

Another note that I jotted down, have your location automatically re-centered after marking and entering a waypoint

OnX Hunt App - is there a Layer to show fences?

There is not at this time.

Would it be possible to remove the time range of recent imagery? When using it on a phone it blocks a fair amount of the map. Thanks for considering

 

[Rogerdoger]

One option I would find handy is the ability to turn off the shading of public land or lower opacity, outline could stay solid. I makes resolution of satellite better to look at.

It will be difficult to completely remove that information, as it is important to know the date ranges that the imagery was taken, and to be able to change the dates, but we'll pass your feedback along to our designers to see if they can possibly make that text block a bit smaller or less obtrusive.

At the present time, when you zoom in, the government lands layer becomes more transparent, and more opaque as you zoom out. You can also turn the layer off to remove all coloration that may be obscuring the map imagery. We'll pass your request along to our mapping team to see if there are any other options they might have to make the imagery a bit easier to see.

Why does the open roads change with zoom level. I have trails 50 inches and under show as open to high clearance 4x4 when zoomed out but when you zoom in changes to atv, motorcycle trail? I also had a lag in tracks showing mid track, I would check and the dashed line would stop about 1/4 mile from where I was but then fill in later.

We have not been able to replicate the issue you are seeing with the roads on our end. Are you able to send a screenshot of what you're seeing to better help us troubleshoot this for you?

As for your tracker, it sounds like this might be a lag with your phone GPS, but without more information, it is difficult to know with certainty. If you can email us at [email protected], our customer support team will be able to look a little deeper into this issue for you.
