Quick Answer

Yes, it is possible to mark significant landmarks with onX Maps waypoints.

Creating Landmark Waypoints on onX Maps

onX Maps allows you to create and manage waypoints to mark significant landmarks, trailheads, and other locations on their maps. To create a new waypoint, tap the ‘+’ icon on the map, then select ‘Waypoint’ from the menu. You can also import existing waypoints from other sources, such as GPS devices or spreadsheets.

Organizing Waypoints with Layers and Tags

To keep your waypoints organized, onX Maps allows you to assign them to custom layers, tags, and folders. This makes it easy to filter and view specific waypoints based on their location, category, or other attributes. For example, you can create a layer for ‘Hunting Spots’ and another for ‘Trailheads’, making it simple to access and navigate to these locations. This technique is particularly useful when scouting public land boundaries and planning e-scouting expeditions.

Using onX Maps Offline and with Public Land Boundaries

When scouting in areas with limited cell coverage or internet access, onX Maps allows you to download offline maps and access your waypoints even without a connection. Additionally, the app provides access to public land boundaries, helping you stay within designated areas and avoid trespassing. By marking significant landmarks and organizing your waypoints, you can effectively plan and execute your e-scouting missions, even in remote areas.
