What scenarios would require switching layers on onX Maps during a hunt?

Scenario-Based Layer Switching

When planning a hunt, it’s essential to consider the time of day and the terrain. For example, if you’re hunting during the early morning or late evening, you may want to switch from the topographic map layer to the satellite imagery layer. This allows you to see the landscape and vegetation in greater detail, making it easier to identify potential ambush points or hiding spots.

Using Layers to Adapt to Terrain

When navigating through dense forests, you may want to switch from the satellite imagery layer to the topographic map layer. This provides a better representation of the terrain, allowing you to identify potential escape routes and hiding spots. For example, if you’re navigating through a dense thicket, you can switch to the topographic map layer to see the contours and elevation changes, helping you to find a safe path forward.

Using Waypoints and Offline Maps

To make the most of onX Maps, it’s essential to create and save waypoints for specific locations, such as water sources, food plots, or known animal habitats. When offline, you can access these waypoints and switch between layers to get a better understanding of the terrain and your surroundings. For example, if you’re hunting on public land, you can switch to the public land boundaries layer to ensure you’re staying within the designated areas.
