GoHunt vs. OnX

[Fredbear329]

OnX is better for me for 2 reasons:
1. Cheaper
2. More detailed information about local FWAs. GOHUNT only listed these as “state” land.

Gohunt is still missing the travel management areas where I hunt in NE Oregon. Three years now, twice given a link to public maps, and still MIA.

I have just started using GoHunt, but I have used HuntStand for years. I will use both this year in the field and see how they compare.

Did you guys see this? GoHunt recently added this 'Explorer' feature as seen below. The further west I move, the more of the "clouds" are lifted to reveal the map to me. It's the damndest thing, I keep crossing ridges just to see what's new over there, can't stop.

Also a lot of the map is darkened and the land status is hard to see because I went to an area that I didn't set up offline maps before I left the house. Even though I have 5G, I should know better than to rely on that so this is helping instill in me better planning and habits.

All snark aside, this is a great tool on the desktop and an absolute liability in the field. I'm on year three of hoping it gets better and keeping paper maps in the glovebox. I'm going to save the money next year and just buy more maps.

I’m going with BaseMap this year. Subscribed to OnX past five years and the tool doesn’t meet price point anymore.

What's the deal with OnX? That was going to be my next stop

OnX was great when I started using it. Previous to that I used Gaia which was terrific for topographical merged maps, not so much for ownership.
So OnX was good, got better. Then states started offering free ArcGIS mapping and competition like GoHunt surpassed OnX in value. Like OnX help clearly stated merging KML files, but then if that doesn’t work, convert to GPX format. That never worked for me and I looked elsewhere, found BaseMap. Now I get the whole country + SOS for cheaper.
