OnX research tools now online

There was a thread within the last year or so with an alternative mapping app that everyone was jumping ship to, and I can't find that thread now. I thought @neffa3 started it.

Can anyone help me out? I'm sick of sending money to these hunting companies.

There's a new one out now that some guys are switching to...Spartan Forge. Since it's relatively new, they are still updating and adding features. It has leaf off imagery and I believe LIDAR now.
 
This is the thread I was thinking of-

Why I prefer GaiaGPS over ONX

I have both GaiaGPS and ONX. On a recent trip to North Dakota, my Alaskan hunting partner proclaimed that he also has both, but prefers GaiaGPS. I prefer GaiaGPS for my hunts for the following reasons: 1) GaiaGPS uses a perimeter outline instead of polygon markings. Imagery is clearer in...

Couldn't get it to load, so they must be using the same server as ID uses for allocating OTC tags.
Not sure what people are looking for.

If you want less competition, you may have to wait for people to be unsuccessful for a few years and move on to the next hobby.

Right off the cuff I didn't see any info on general tags, or what general tags you are able to get an archery stamp for. But I only spent 5 mins looking. I'll check it out later when I have more time. Maybe I'll watch their video on it.

That's it, thank you! It looks like they have android auto also, which has been killing me on ONX.

Does the land ownership seem to pull from the same source as ONX?

OnX uses government info for land ownership, amongst some other sources where there isn't easily accessible public data.

How is onX Private Property Ownership Information Updated?

Learn how and why private property boundaries are updated in the onX apps, and why it's helpful—and important—for you to let us know when something needs to be corrected.

I think it would be good if an upcoming company pulled from the same data sources OnX is.
