onX Maps: How to Use Pt 2

[@beorbeorian150]

One trick I use is to copy the coordinates and paste into google earth. Then I can use the street view feature to get a look of the area from the closest paved roads

[@timwright8101]

Hey Kevin! Super hyped for my hunt this year! Thanks bud🤙

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Tim Wright way excited for you my friend. Best of luck and shoot the biggest one!

[@michaelbosisto6259]

I’m sure you already know, but your video would be more enjoyable if you get a recorder and some stereo microphones. That will cost ya $150, so it’s not bad. Thanks for your content …. KZbin on my hunting friends

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Great suggestion, and I couldn’t agree more. This was one of my first ever videos and I’ve learned a lot since then, and have upgraded in both the audio and video department! Thanks for the support!

[@michaelbosisto6259]

@@TheBeginningHunter as Joe Dirt used to say….. I can buff it out. When I get my channel up and going, let’s get in touch. I’m a Washington hunter, and I have some very cool ideas for my channel

@@michaelbosisto6259 sounds great!!

[@derekclark7477]

Love the Flushing, MI shirt.

I take it you’re from Michigan!!

[@derekclark7477]

The Beginning Hunter, yessir. Closer to Metro Detroit than Flint. Was having problems with my OnX not retaining pins after a few hours of scouting turkey today. Thanks for the videos/help.

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Derek Clark glad to help! There’s a lot of other videos on here that might be useful that I’ve recorded. Best of luck this season!

[@czeslawrogalski1837]

That was very helpful, thanks

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Czeslaw Rogalski happy to help. There are additional videos that I have produced that go into more depth on things. Give them a check out and let me know if you have additional questions!

[@mhoward29]

Excellent video. I am getting onX for Oregon as well. I was worried I wouldn't be able to use it on my phone because where I hunt there is no cell service.

[@TheBeginningHunter]

mhoward29 thanks for the feedback. That was one of the most common concerns from hunters about onX was their fear of not being able to use it offline. But, it is super easy to save maps to be used offline and I was able to save entire hunting units this year during my Antelope and Mule Deer hunts. It truely was a game changer!

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Wanted to touch base with you and let you know I uploaded a new video specifically for using onX without cell service. Take a look!

[@d-regdon3474]

New user to the onX app, pretty amazing. Using my iPad, I’ve gone thru the exercise in setting up way points and such. Saved map to offgrid with 10mi. Medium resolution ……… can’t seem to figure out how to transfer to iPhone ???

[@TheBeginningHunter]

D-Reg Don great question! When you saved it with your iPad you saved it to just that iPad. What you need to do is go onto your iPhone and save the maps to that since the iPhone will be what you will be using in the field.

[@darylbickford1913]

Tuning in from unit 38 Idaho 😉

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Good luck!!!!

[@laurencepetz365]

Unit 4 in Idaho here.

[@TheBeginningHunter]

laurence petz all the love from Idaho!

[@jamiewalters9916]

Once your year runs out, can you still use the app on your phone using the airplane mode? Will it have all your way points etc..

[@camokitty]

Do you have a link to part 3? Couldn't find it for some reason

[@TheBeginningHunter]

I do! It’s on here. You can click on my name and it will take you to my popular videos to include part three. Thanks for following along!

[@2010frankieg]

im watching this and tring to learn for texas but my government land color and public land color seem to be different. if you have all 50 states would you mind seeing what im talking about? maybe the $99.00 version has some features that the $30.00 doesn't?

[@2010frankieg]

I just don't to think I know how to use this and end up in trouble. if you have time cool and thank you. if not, im just gonna call it quits lol for awhile

[@TheBeginningHunter]

No worries at all! Your land colors may look different than mine and many states do. What you can look for is when you click on the parcel of land it will say if it is public or private land right at the top. Each state has different “public organizations” that manage land and Texas is no different. If you’re in doubt on if a parcel of land can be hunted you can call the department that manages it by finding their number online and ask them. Just be sure to reference what land specifically your looking to hunt. Does that answer your question? I can reach out to onX and ask for clarification if needed!

[@2010frankieg]

that's great advice thank you!! I needed the input from someone like you who already uses the app for hunts. im so thankful you went out and made these videos. thank you again I will prep hunts with phone calls. @@TheBeginningHunter

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Frankie g I am happy to help! If there’s anything else you need let me know! Best of luck this season and shoot the big one!

[@watrrfowler]

Can you show how to enter a gps coordinate?

[@laurencepetz365]

when I add stuff from the field it shows up on my pc when i get home except my tracking how can i get this to up date while i am in the field so my wife can see my progress from home

[@TheBeginningHunter]

laurence petz she may need to refresh or log in again after your hunts have tracked. Are you using off grid maps when your tracking or are you still in cell service? It should be a fairly immediate update to your pc. I love the idea of her staying up to date on where you are!

[@laurencepetz365]

@@TheBeginningHunter Almost always on off grid map. service is very spotty or non- existent where we hunt here in Idaho. I can't even get the tracking to show on the pc after i am home.

[@TheBeginningHunter]

laurence petz well it makes sense that she wouldn’t be able to keep track of you real time when your phone is out of service due to where you are hunting and having to use off grid maps. However, when you come back into service and have internet connection your tracking and waypoint data should sync up with your pc at home to allow her to see where you are. Unit 4 sounds like just the place that I like to hunt!

[@nowayhunting]

when you use the computer, will it show up on the phone app too?

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Yes! Any changes you make on the phone will show up on the computer. And anything you do on the computer will also show up on the phone!

[@nowayhunting]

@@TheBeginningHunter thank you. i have hunt stand and my markers went away by themselves and i could not find my deer stand so i had to bow hunt from the ground. it sucks!!!!!

[@rayallen6200]

How does it track you if you have no service for GPS

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Great question. It’s the same way that when you are traveling with your phone as your GPS in the car it can still track where on the road you are. Essentially what happens is that it saves a copy of a map and you can still track your exact location via GPS on it.

[@ljgaines8170]

Great videos I've watched part one now part 2 I don't have a computer at home all i have is a smartphone and I've Subscribe to the own xhunt app can I do everything that I need to do on my phone thanks buddy and enjoy your videos

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Thanks for the compliment, and the support!

[@pastorchavagonzalez9956]

Hello I really like yous videos. And I have a couple question: What color of areas is good for hunt Rabbits? an what BLM means? Can I Hunt in areas with BLM Letters?

[@TheBeginningHunter]

It depends on what state you are hunting and I am not sure what areas hold rabbits more than others. BLM stands for Bureau of Land Management and this can be toggled on in the app when you use the Public Land layer. Hope this helps!

[@Laborman17]

As an add on usually you can hunt BLM land as long as it’s not posted. I’m in California where there’s more rules then hunters lol. But I hunt mostly BLM and wilderness zones

[@bombdiggity699]

Where is your favorite place to hunt in Oregon?

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Ashley Jones depends on what species I suppose. I love hunting mule deer and elk in the northeast part of Oregon, blacktail deer by the coast, and antelope down in southern Oregon. Lots of hunts, not enough time!

[@timwright8101]

Eastern Oregon is where I’ve been hunting since I was a kid, are you hunt a fossil unit.

[@jdalley5192]

It seems like you’re doing this on a computer. Does that transfer automatically to your phone?

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Jd Alley that’s the best part! Anything that you do on the computer is automatically going to transfer over to your phone, and vice versa. I’ve added a ton of stuff to my onX when in the field and it shows up when I get home and hop onto the computer. Thanks for the question and for following along!

[@alemariposita]

I can't see your full screen?

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Alejandra Maya not sure what’s happening and why it won’t let you watch this in full screen. Are you on a phone or a computer?

[@ducatimidnight594]

Who else found themselves putting their finger on the screen trying to move the map lol...

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Ducati Midnight I even did it. Hard to use the laptop then use the iPhone!!!

[@tradyrb2147]

Keep a backup GPS with spare batteries with you at all times. This onX smartphone is a toy. Do not bet your life on this gadget

[@TheBeginningHunter]

I have found onX to be very reliable, but I agree with you 100%!

[@pauls835]

IMO you spend way too much time downloading offline maps because if you don't have good cell service the app is pretty worthless! Better know where you are and you have to download all your maps and save them ahead of time.

[@TheBeginningHunter]

Paul S I always know the unit that I will be hunting and save maps for the area. Saving larger maps will allow you to keep lower quality maps but the maps will cover a larger area. Spend the 10 minutes before a hunt to download some maps using WiFi and you’ll be set. Good luck this season!

[@andreamakarewicz2463]

One tutorial

[@jimtebelskis5437]

Looks like you guys don't use the app - waypoint stuff was impractical, stupid use.

[@jasonbrowning5280]

Lol you think you're gonna use the quads God gave you.. but it's Washington and quads /motorized vehicles aren't permitted on the trails. And all the access roads have been locked shut by decree of king Inslee the terrible. So you'll leave your god given quad at the truck and both your truck and quad will be stolen while you're hunting. Just another level of anxiety and spice added to your hunting trip.
