Quick Answer
Yes, you can overlay weather data on your onX Maps for better planning by accessing the in-app weather layer, which integrates weather forecasts from various sources, including Dark Sky and Weather Underground.
Integrating Weather Layers with onX Maps
onX Maps offers an in-app weather layer that allows you to access current and forecasted weather conditions for your scouting areas. This layer is integrated with weather data from sources like Dark Sky and Weather Underground, providing you with accurate and up-to-date information. To access the weather layer, navigate to the “Layers” tab and toggle the “Weather” switch on.
Creating Custom Weather Layers
If you need more specific weather data, you can create custom layers using onX’s “Custom Data” feature. This feature enables you to import data from external sources, such as weather APIs, and display it on your map. To create a custom weather layer, go to the “Layers” tab, select “Custom Data,” and enter the URL of the API or data source you want to use.
Using Weather Data for Scouting
When scouting areas, it’s essential to consider the weather conditions that may affect your hunt. By overlaying weather data on your onX Maps, you can identify areas with suitable weather conditions, such as calm winds or dry terrain. This information can help you make informed decisions about where to set up your stand or when to hunt. Additionally, you can use onX’s “Waypoints” feature to mark areas with favorable weather conditions, making it easier to plan and execute your hunt.
