    I've been using this for over a year now but have never read any instructions. I've just been winging it, mostly using it to create a map of my movement so I can find my way around, either going forward or finding my way back (I wander off trail a fair bit). But I felt like learning about it more and found your video on UA-cam. Really well done! You stuck to the basics and I got a lot out of it! I will always be amazed at how they can come up with stuff like this and appreciate your clear explanation about how it works! Thanks!

      Thanks! If you want to go deeper, we host monthly masterclasses where we go in depth on how to plan specific objectives. Join one of our live webinars sometime! ua-cam.com/video/08akYbVuzGM/v-deo.html

    I've been using this for a while for hiking but this summer I started using it for kayaking. It's not as useful because some of the features don't translate to water but measuring distance down River and marking camp spots and stuff is really handy. I don't know if it's even possible to add more watersports features but it would be really cool.

    Nice video. It would be nice if there were a basic intro instruction video. I can't save an existing route to gpx file for my smartwatch.

    I'm using this daily riding dirt-bikes in the national forest on roads trails and single tracks, connecting thru
    WLF Enduro .
    It's nice to know if I'm "legal" and for what "user groups" the trail is open to use it; horses, hikers, bikers, atv, etc.
    Android device & patiently waiting.

    Does this app sync with Apple Health? I love OnX’s features, my only hesitation is having to run multiple apps to track my fitness data.

    Why can’t I save a trail? This is like the most basic feature we need 😥

      You save it by clicking the trail, when the window opens there’s a bookmark like in Instagram… it’s next to the X on the right of that pop up. That’ll save it

    Nice maps, crap routes. Alltrails is better for navigating hikes. For example, Im getting ready to take the middle route to San Jacinto Peak. That's a popular trail combo you don't have. You have Deer Springs and the San Jacinto Peak Loop. If I select the loop, only half the route is highlighted green and I can't get rid of the blue highlights of the surrounding trails. Alltrails locks on the route and only highlights the route I want to take.

    Only getting 40' contours on the topo map. Am I missing the setting somewhere to get 10' contours? Please help, 40' contours are completely worthless for backcountry application in my area.

    So it shows your location on the map in real time??? With or without it cell service?

    • @onXBackcountry
      @onXBackcountry  Рік тому +1

      the onX Backcountry app shows your location on a map in real time! You can view your location when you're out of cell service in our app if you download an offline map of the area you will be hiking in before you leave cell service.

      They have dedicated hunting versions, this one's more for backpacking and that sort of thing.
