[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2929141, member: 97050"] I promise this isn’t a boomer anti technology post. I have basemap, gohunt, onx, scout to hunt, and probably some others. I hunt multiple states, doing usually deep in expedition type hunts. So, e-scouting is important. I simply don’t have time to drive around western US to scout. I don’t even know what states I’ll draw, which gives me less time. Hence why I still opt to use a paper map. I have onx in a garmin series GPS for land ownership. All my scouting on gohunt just gets transcribed to the map and/or the GPS, so everything satellite related is done at home and not in the field. As if I would have signal. Azimuth can be determined on the map. Declination is on the map if shooting an azimuth on the compass. So no need for true north, just a standard grid to magnetic. Map holds my notes as well. For me, it’s easier this way with more accuracy. Once I’m boots on ground and going where I mapped out, the satellite imagery isn’t really relevant anymore. I’ve already executed a decision. [/QUOTE]
