Compatible GPS Devices
onX Maps is compatible with devices running Garmin, Magellan, and other popular GPS software platforms.

Using onX Maps with Handheld GPS Units
To use onX Maps with a handheld GPS unit, users need to download the onX Maps app and transfer the maps to their device. This process typically involves using a USB cable to connect the device to a computer and then transferring the maps using the device’s software. Once the maps are transferred, users can access them on their handheld GPS unit, allowing them to scout and navigate in offline mode. For example, users can transfer up to 10 GB of maps to a Garmin 64st, which is sufficient for most hunting and scouting applications.

Users can download maps and waypoints to their device, allowing them to access them in areas with no cell service. This feature is particularly useful when scouting in remote areas, as it eliminates the need to rely on cell service to access maps and waypoints. Users can also create custom waypoints and layers using onX Maps, which can be transferred to their device for offline use.
