How to share onX Maps information during a group hunting trip?

Sharing onX Maps with Your Group

To share onX Maps information with your group, first ensure all devices have the app installed and are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Open onX Maps, go to the “Settings” menu, and select “Sync Devices.” This will synchronize your maps, layers, and waypoints across connected devices.

Using Map Layers and Waypoints for Collaboration

Once devices are synced, use onX Maps’ layer system to create and share custom maps with your group. This can include layers for public land boundaries, hunting regulations, and other relevant information. You can also create and share waypoints to mark specific locations, such as deer stands or water sources, to help your group navigate the terrain.

Utilizing Public Link Sharing for E-Scouting

To share your maps with a larger group or with hunters who may not have the onX Maps app, use the public link sharing feature. This allows you to generate a link to your map, which can be shared via email, text message, or messaging apps. You can also use this feature to share maps with landowners or other stakeholders, making it an essential tool for e-scouting and hunting planning. When creating a public link, be sure to set the share settings to “Public” or “Shared with specific users” to control who can access the map.
