Hey by the way your video editing skills are on point. With the list that stays on the screen, and a live view of the application in another window. Great work

[@HuntDetail]

Thanks for your feedback and support.

[@justsnuggle]

100% agree. I've contacted onyx so many times asking them to organize their icons for waypoints, and allow us to pick like a top five to put in a quick toolbar that just stays open, and it should automatically ask you what color you want whenever you click the icon, or default to whatever you use last. I could go on for days

[@HuntDetail]

Agreed. I’ve noticed some recent upgrades but they should have evolved the waypoint menu a long time ago.

I can see that you worked your butt off to help us in our decision on which app to use for our hunting excursions. I am a turkey hunter from Arkansas, and I REALLY appreciate all of your hard work to produce this video. I am a dentist with a big family. I take my children hunting and your content has really helped me. I appreciate all of your hard work!!!

Well thanks, I appreciate the feedback and support. I simply enjoy taking these deep dives and sharing what I find. Best of luck this season!

Very helpful, thank you! Tried BaseMap last year because of integration with my Sig rangefinder, but even now I can't get the layers working at all on my phone. And on the desktop, the property layers are out of date with several I know have split and sold over the last few years. I also don't see any indication of private land public access programs which here in Montana is a HUGE deal. Nearly 7 million acres of that here and the next closest state is WY with only 3.1 million acres

Thank you for the feedback and support. Best of luck this season!

First comment on this extremely in depth video? Just dropping in to give you a “well done” and I appreciate it!

[@HuntDetail]

Thank you for the support and feedback - much appreciated. Best of luck this upcoming season!

I live in Ohio now but also hunt Elk out West. I’m always stuck between OnX and HuntWise. Only thing I like more on HuntWise is the ability to see a crisper picture when trying their trail version but end of the day I’m always going back to OnX.

[@HuntDetail]

Yeah, it’s tough. I tend to use multiple apps for multiple reasons. Thanks for your feedback. Best of luck this season!

I wish these mapping software Companies and their promotors and reviewers would make it clear that their property boundaries are not accurate and are not legally binding. The mapping Companies use County Plat maps which are not accurate and are just estimates. I've tested the mapping software Companies property boundaries on my own property and found them to be sometimes hundreds of yards inaccurate. Most County Plat maps will say in fine print that the map is an estimate and not accurate and not legally binding. The reason the Mapping companies use them is because they are fee. The only accurate and legally binding property line source is a legal survey, and the surveys are not free. The surveyor charges for a copy of their survey. You may wonder why this is important well, in my state if you kill an animal on my land without my written permission you will be prosecuted for poaching no matter what software you are using. If you are hunting on my land without my written permission, you will be prosecuted for trespassing and attempted poaching no matter what software you are using.

Well, I appreciate your feedback. Best of luck this season.
