I looked to see if OnX has been discussed or not in "Search" but didn't see so. Anyway, I've had it with OnX not having quality satellite imagery. I've got the best OnX has to offer but the imagery still isn't as good as HuntStand. I don't want to switch from OnX to HuntStand, but I think I'm going to switch.

Before I do, is there a better choice? I know there are other hunting imagery apps, but I do like HuntStand, but I've used OnX in the past.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

I swapped from OnX to Spartan Forge and am satisfied with the imagery. They also have a pretty good movement and pattern predictor that I have found is somewhat accurate. Each has something I like over the other, but overall satisfied.

I pay for OnX and HuntStand. Can’t decide which one I like better. You can do a lot with HuntStand (on line stand check in, etc). The OnX UI is much more friendly. Never heard of Spartan Forge but I’m going to check it out because I haven’t found anything yet to do everything I want

I love OnX's software. But it aggravates me that HuntStand has MUCH better imagery than OnX. HOWEVER, HS's imagery is not up to date!!! Not even close. But damn, it's detailed!!! Spartan Forge...hmmmmmm, I'll check it out! As long as I can get property owners listed as that is a major requirement.

Just tried Spartan Forge... I liked what little I reviewed it, BUT... I have to have updated satellite imagery. It's not up to date as HuntStand. So, SF is out!

So I called OnX to ask them why their satellite imagery wasn't as good as HuntStand and whatdoyaknow.... Their staff is off for volunteer work today and they will be back tomorrow. I'll report more when I speak with OnX.

The best I have had is Base Map app. Has all the features you need and if you need help at any time their customer service returns e-mails really fast. I have had them for four years. Also has ONX but did not renew it this year

Huntstands imagery is more up to date and more detailed than OnX. They also have monthly satellite image overlay, it’s not as detailed but helps.

HuntStand

That Spartan Forge is slick. It has Lidar.

What i use. I mainly use for the property info to be honest

HuntStand has that monthly satellite option I like it if you are going into a public spot and not sure what is there.

HuntStand is far and away the better option. Many more features and much more capable. I cancelled my OnX subscription because I hated using it so much and because it literally melts my laptop and desktop when I try to use the online version.

This. HuntStand is amazingly detailed and can get monthly imagery at a lower resolution.

Kinda off topic but my HS maps are kinda dark. I have e mailed them but didnt really get a good answer. Any ideas how to brighten it up ? Its only on this app. On x is fine. I would probably prefer HS if I can figure this out

I like huntstand better. It's cheaper. I do wish huntstand would work with android auto

I ended up speaking with my old friend, Brian Murphy, who was Director of the QDMA for many years and now he works for HuntStand. Wow... HS is really doing some good stuff. So, I'm trying HS.

Right now, I'm getting frustrated with HS. I just don't think it's as intuitive as OnX. I'm still playing with it. We'll see.

I still feel like BaseMap is the better one.

Their plan looks interesting. I’ve got HS and like it but how often is Basemap updated on imagery?

At one time in the past OnX had the boundries of WMA's and HS didn't so I went with OnX. That may no longer be the case.

HuntStand

Onx is far superior if you travel and hunt public land. HuntStand has better imagery. I use both.

OnX imagery is ages old, when I said it’s beneficial to have up to date imagery for any Hunter they had no explanation other than it’s just to give you an idea of the boundaries or something along the lines of that. How hard can it be to update imagery? Literally at least 4 years old now.

BaseMap

I have used Huntstand for years. Does everything I need. I have camps in South and MidWest. Only issue I have with it is if you wont have good service you need to open app and load area you are going to or it won't work well. I know several guys who use Onyx. They like it better than Hunstand. Also I use the free version of Hunstand.

I used OnX for years and made the switch to HuntStand. Its a better product IMO

Does Huntstand support landscape mode or is it portrait only ?

My only issue with HuntStand is that they don't have a good topo/imagery hybrid layer.

Same here. Would be nice to see contour lines over a satellite image.

My HuntStand has it. I have HuntStand pro and it has about anything you can imagine.

Neither.

Basemap.

Are the contour lines in 20ft increments like a standard topo? Mine has the "contour" layer but its in I think 20 meter increments. Not detailed enough to add much utility at that wide of increments imo.

Oh OK. I never paid for the Pro.

So what's the cost comparison between all of these? I've been OnX. OnX Elite is $99 a year but you can get a 20% code (use Mossy Oak or Pinhoti). Looks like HuntStand Pro is $60 a year. Does it offer the same nationwide info as OnX Elite? What's the cost for BaseMap?

Base Map Pro is $69.99 per year

The promo code industry50 is valid for 50% off any OnX subscription

HuntStand

I like HuntStand best, I like Spartan Forge but the imagery isn’t as good and the data on land owners is off

Do you have Pro or Whitetail Pro?

The pro has the contour lines. I have it and it's $29.99 a year. Have HuntStand and OnX both. Prefer the HuntStand Pro version the best. More user friendly and better imagery.

I guess I should have said the Quad Topo. The general contour doesn't help me much. If there is a way to overlay Quad Topo over satellite, somebody let me know. I also have Huntstand Pro.

I have been using HuntStand for the last month... I like OnX, but I'm not putting up with less than desirable imagery. HuntStand is WAY clearer with its maps and I like HuntStand a lot. So, goodbye OnX!!

HuntStand, I'm using you for the foreseeable future.

I've been happy with OnX

I use both and like different things about each one. However, Huntstand has real time satellite imagery (undated monthly) and the printed maps are fantastic. I will not renew onX.

Edit!!! My son and I share an OnX subscription. To be fair to OnX... here is what happened when I started this thread. This past weekend, I was looking at my son's OnX on his iPhone and it was clear as day!! The imagery was great and, on my iPhone, the imagery was blurry. So I played with my setting on my OnX app and duhhhhh, I got the OnX app to show much better imagery!! So, THAT was my complaint about OnX and when compared to HuntStand, HS was much better in its satellite photos.

I shake my head and want to ask OnX, "Who wants to see blurry imagery???" Because someone like me may see the blurry satellite imagery and be unsatisfied. So OnX, don't even let your users be able to see blurry satellite images when MUCH more clearer images are available with a click and no extra costs. I mean, who wants to see blurry images when clearer images are available with a click? Just take the blurry option off the table!! Geezzzzzz!!!

Thought I'd give OnX credit as my complaint was imagery and I fixed it but it wasn't because OnX made it easy or known!!!
