    Good tutorial but you left some steps out. When you want to go to a waypoint, how do you indicate which waypoint you want to travel to? When you turn on the compass, is the idea to keep walking so the blue dot with the funnel (arrow) stays on your track? I notice the overland version has a "go to waypoint" feature. Does HuntX have this "go to waypoint" feature also.
  • @hphillips7425
    That would be a good tool for many different uses especially big woods
  • Love the tip. How do I prevent the app from going onto screen saver mode and blacking out?
  • How about a mode to walk back, using breadcrumbs? I ask because what I see is the software draws a straight line, which is fine however at times there are valleys, bodies of water and such that prevents a straight line return.
  • @TheZibil
    does onX work without cell signal in the middle of no where?
  • @ryanchapman9779
    ONX, I use your app on my cell and desktop and have thousands of acres mapped upwards of 100k all of which I have done manually. I have tried contacting you before, but have never heard a word back from the company. I am not writing to bash or complain but instead give a suggestion for easier user use. My suggestion is this; when you have you tax assessment map layer on for whatever state, it allows you to click a parcel or tract to show you the info on that tract, it also highlights the tract. My suggestion is for ONX to create a short cut to skip the drawling of that tract and simply save the outlined parcel from which you can change colors and make notes. This would be a game changer/time saver for large properties and users with lots of land.
  • I have basic version. What is maximum number of waypoints I can create? ThankYou
  • @alvindueck2104
    Does this app require you to pay a subscription fee or some other fee? How many adds do you have to put up with? Does the app collect your data? What does the app do with all your saved locations?
  • @willisbyler811
    I appreciate your ability to show your tracking device but my tracking device is not working I can start it but it won't give me the option to stop it what am I doing wrong
  • @johnhoard2802
    New to the app. When someone says I dropped a pin....How do you actually do that?
  • @dwhunter8904
    Mine does not work this way. My blue "flashlight" always points north when in the tracking or navigating mode.
  • @bobbymarkey7419
    On x has ruined public land hunting, way over hunted now day been hunting public for 15 years remember trying to figure out the local maps at a young age finding good pinch points, this day an age hunting is to simple and accommodates to many non ethical hunters. The last 4 years I have seen more ppl then deer. walked in on shot over, plus my state needs to match what ever state ur coming from an out of state license. Honestly just wish it was like the old times.
  • @jrberry7993
    Talks too fast and mixes too many features at one time. Example: I want to know how to track my movements through rough terrain, then backtrack the way I came. Nothing told me this....
