I used it this season exclusively for navigating back roads and marking the truck. Hunted a lot of new areas and it was nice to get me back out in the dark. I tried to weigh the cost of a gps and the On X app won out. I have my phone on me all the time and it works surprisingly well even without signal.

OnX will turn your phone into a valuable piece of hunting equipment. But don't leave your compass at home. Your compass doesn't need batteries or satellites to work.

This advice is for people who may be new to the app. You can put your phone on airplane mode, so it won't be searching for a signal and using up power needlessly. You could also bring a power bank or stick with you, but this is just extra baggage for day trip.

looks like a really good tool. I only need one state too, so it's pretty cheap at $35/yr. will probably pull the trigger on it. I want to chase hogs in the spring, and you can really get turned around down in the public WMA river delta areas down here.
