Quick Answer
onX's waypoint system is particularly beneficial for hunting scenarios involving extensive public land areas, long distances, and multiple access points, such as large deer or elk hunting territories, backcountry hunting excursions, and boundary scouting.
Large Public Land Areas
When hunting on large public land areas, onX’s waypoint system helps you navigate and keep track of multiple access points, trails, and boundaries. With up to 1.4 million public land boundaries, you can create waypoints at critical locations like trailheads, hunting stands, and water sources. This allows you to quickly and easily identify and revisit key points, even in areas with limited cell coverage. For example, in Wyoming’s 9.3 million-acre Bighorn National Forest, onX’s waypoint system can help you stay organized and focused as you scout and hunt across this vast territory.
Backcountry Hunting Excursions
For backcountry hunting excursions, onX’s waypoint system is essential for navigating complex terrain and keeping track of your route. By creating waypoints at key locations like ridges, saddles, and stream crossings, you can ensure you always know where you are and how to get back to camp. For instance, on a 10-mile backcountry elk hunt in Montana’s Beartooth Mountains, onX’s waypoint system can help you stay oriented and avoid getting lost in the dense forest.
Boundary Scouting
When scouting public land boundaries, onX’s waypoint system allows you to quickly and easily identify areas with restrictions or closures. By creating waypoints at key boundary locations like gateways, fence lines, and warning signs, you can stay informed and avoid inadvertently trespassing. For example, in Colorado’s 3.2 million-acre White River National Forest, onX’s waypoint system can help you stay aware of boundary restrictions and focus your scouting efforts on areas with open access.
