New HUNT App Now Available for Download From onXmaps

MISSOULA, MT – Feb 1st, 2016 - Available today on both the Google Play and [Apple] App Store, onXmaps offers a new and improved Hunting App that turns your phone or tablet into a dedicated GPS device. onX HUNT 3.0 unlocks the full GPS functionality of modern phones and integrates it with the best land ownership data and mapping tools available. This powerful combination allows hunters to always know their location relative to public and private land ownership boundaries, geographical features, custom waypoints, roads, and trails. For a full list of HUNT 3.0 features, visit www.huntinggpsmaps.com.

“onXmaps has quite simply been the biggest game changer in the last 5 years for me and my ability to hunt not only in Montana, but in completely new states and units. Show me a hunter with onXmaps in his hand and I’ll show you a hunter soon to have success!” says Randy Newberg, the host of Fresh Tracks TV and the popular HuntTalk online community. Randy is a strong advocate for being responsible and educated in the field and is an avid user of both the HUNT App and the HUNT Chip for his Garmin GPS unit.

The onX HUNT App comes loaded with valuable map features for use in the field such as a triple-verified Private and Public Land Ownership layer with Owners’ Names and Property Boundaries. Hunters immediately see the value in this data when dealing with property boundaries, finding new public lands, or even gaining permission to access private property. onXmaps’ land ownership data has become the professional standard in the field. HUNT users include State and Federal Agencies, Game Wardens, and Conservation Officers who use maps daily for field work where location and land ownership accuracy cannot be left to chance.

New Features released in HUNT 3.0 include an Improved User Interface, Tracking and Compass, Weather Radar, National Forest Visitor Maps, and USA Trails.

The latest User Interface was designed to quickly and seamlessly navigate map features and menu items inside the App, access Saved Maps for offline use outside of cell service, change between several Basemap options, and even customize the map layers by turning layers on or off and setting transparency.

The addition of Tracking and Compass provides GPS-quality navigation tools within the HUNT App. This allows the user to track and display their hike or adventure right on the map screen. You can also load a previously saved track to easily follow your way to a lookout or stand in the dark. The new built in compass allows users to get bearings on landmarks for navigation and orientation when in the field.

Weather Radar gives users the ability to see real-time location of storms and precipitation in the area; allowing for more detailed planning and decision-making in the field. The USA Trails layer can be overlaid on any of the numerous Basemaps included with the HUNT App to give a detailed view of how the terrain and trails are positioned.

If full-speed cell coverage is a concern for you in your hunting area, simply save your favorite Map Layers and Basemap to your phone or tablet before going afield. The intuitive Save Map function allows the user to maintain full functionality and map data within the HUNT App wherever your adventure takes you.

Unlike other Hunting Apps, the onX HUNT App allows users to completely customize maps for their specific needs. Whether hunting or scouting, users can customize the HUNT App to #HUNTsmarter.
"HUNT 3.0 brings to life a new era of hunting maps. The App unlocks hundreds of layers of map data that make scouting and execution in the field much easier. I have found that certain combinations of map layers can help me identify hidden access points, key habitat for wildlife, and much more. I'm a firm believer that if you do the research and know your maps, you can drastically increase your chances of success!" says, Eric Siegfried, onXmaps President & Founder.

With detailed maps for all 50 states, the HUNT App provides a powerful, portable, and cost effective mapping tool for any hunter in any state. Visit your App Store today to download the HUNT App by onXmaps and start your free 7-day trial.

I think hunters will like this. In fact, I am sure you will like this. My Garmin Montana GPS might get some rest this season.

I've been playing around with the update today. Very much improved, I really think you guys nailed it. Looks awesome.

I like the updates. Will the chip (for Garmin) be updated ?

I don't see this replacing my Garmin in the field just because of my Garmin is a lot more durable and water resistent...my phone, not so much. Along with cell service...even though the option to save maps is there, it eats up a lot of space on the phone when saved, and I usually use my phone for pictures or video when out. I see the battery as an issue too...phone batteries suck, and that means investing in another battery charger for it to keep it charged when used all day..maybe multiple times, and if taking pictures and video...battery drain big time.

I also like the ability to use basemap data and google earth data with my Garmin. I don't see that as a very usable...or is it even an option with the app? I can't look at everything on the phone...too darn small.

I certainly see why a company needs to come out with new products and stay on the cutting edge, but for me personally...the Garmin will stay my go to device in the field for GPS. Getting to be a lot of things each year to be paying for to update...along with each state you have if you did the app and the chip.

That's my own personal opinion though on how I use these devices.

I sure like your products and my Garmin 450 is with me always in NM. Never used a GPS personally til 8 yrs ago except surveying and at work as a Park Ranger.
I still carry a map & compass. And I now have 3 GPS systems,4 counting a laptop.

The app might be good option to try.
An outfitter buddy uses it all the time,but he is tech savy.
At least down load app to phone when I get to a town with real service. Back up or on the road use.
He does run into same problem as I would using a cell/mobile device here where I am in NM, no signal and dropped calls/links,constantly roaming. Eats batteries fast.

I have to keep the PC part of my phone turned off for this reason. Cell service is very spotty and I have to have a charger in each truck.
GPS always gets at least 7 Sat.'s if not 12,the usual. I'm lucky to get cell service with a booster here at home.
Actually having Basemaps on my PC with wifi to use when I get service has been great option to go back and refresh my data,at least put a pencil mark on my maps. Sitting in my truck on a mountain road for lunch and checking the internet in the wild is pretty wild.

So far I am liking the update the little I have had a change to play with it. My one complaint though is when I zoom in, the sat imagery disappears and all I see is what is public and whats not and no details. IMO, I would prefer the imagery even if it ends up pixelated. Is there an option to change it?
