[QUOTE="Hawkeye Pierce, post: 1910509, member: 112455"] I went out with cousins who had OnX and I used BaseMap, this year I have both. Basemap will link to Google earth for 3D imaging for e scouting.there is also i difference in when the satellite images are taken I've found also. When you download the maps you can switch the layer overlap to the topo map before you download so you can get a map map if you want one. My land nav skills aren't as sharp as they were in the military and I'm not the biggest fan of technology, which baffles my friends seeing that I turned 36 last week, I'm waiting for it to go SkyNet so I can destroy it (80s movie reference). All that to say I do like the ability to set a waypoint and just walk to it. Also we were in the Frank Church wilderness of no return, yes that's the real name, of Idaho far from cell service, 4.5 hours to be exact if you have a lead foot. We always had an arrow for our personal marker and it would show us our direction as well as we could set it to mark the trail and keep save it . Which is handy to know where you have been as well as way points for water, tracks, scraps and any other points you want saved. Wow that was longer than expected. [/QUOTE]
