Best ways to mark waypoints and tracks on OnX?

Setting Up Custom Maps on OnX

When scouting on OnX, it’s essential to set up custom maps to organize and label your waypoints and tracks. To do this, create a new map by going to the “Maps” tab and selecting “Create a New Map.” Then, choose the area you want to focus on and add symbols, such as circles or flags, to mark specific locations. You can also add notes and photos to each symbol for additional context.

Using Symbols and Labels on OnX

OnX offers a range of symbols and labels that can be used to mark waypoints and tracks. For example, you can use a red circle to mark a deer stand or a blue flag to indicate a water source. You can also use labels to add more information to each symbol, such as the type of vegetation or the terrain. To add a symbol or label, tap on the location you want to mark and then select the desired symbol or label from the menu.

Exporting and Importing GPX Files

If you prefer to use other devices or software to track and mark your routes, OnX allows you to export and import GPX files. To export a GPX file, go to the “Tracks” tab and select the route you want to export. Then, tap on the three dots and select “Export as GPX.” You can import this file into other devices or software, such as Garmin or Google Earth, to continue tracking and marking your route.
