BaseMap vs OnX

I have been an OnX user for several years now and recently seen an advertisement for BaseMap. It seems as though their product is pretty competitive with OnX with a few additional features. It also costs far less. Only down side I can see is it doesn't appear to have the gps chips ability but not sure that's a necessity nowadays with cell phones. Am I missing something? Anyone with first hand expierence willing to chime in?

Their import function treats kmz line segments like OnX used to. Clicking on a segment will show every point used to create the path as well as elevation and distance. I imported a decent size KMZ with roads and the unit boundary. If I click anywhere inside the unit the app stops working because of the number of points and related data associated with the unit "area" path.
They are changing the import function and got back to me within hours, which was nice. I haven't been able to do more testing until they delete my data and I start over.

Has anyone else tried basemap? I've used onx for a few years and like it, but basemap is a lot less money.

I bought the pro version of basemap i messed around with it tonight on the computer and a little on my phone some really nice features and once i mess around with it a little more and figure out how to use it better its definitely gonna worth $30 a year i cant see how the onx app is worth 150 more a year

I have both on my phone right now, I have been comparing them side by side. While both apps have some advantages, I feel like the basemap app suits my style better.

OnX is a little quicker when it comes to loading data while in the move. If I am driving down the road, it can typically keep up.

Basemap has more useful features when it comes to research and scouting. Within the unit numbers, it will tell you harvest data and other information that I find useful. I have also been able to log my google earth data into the app.

I have yet to download sections for use outside of cell service on basemap, and I do prefer the OnX topo overlay onto the satellite imagery layer.

Both are a huge benefit, I don't think you can go wrong either way, but moving forward, I will likely be using basemap.


I'll tell you who it was . . . it was that D@MN Sasquatch!

I have used basemap on several hunts. It has been awesome. Used the saved map feature when there was no cell service. Worked great. You get the whole US for $30. OnX should be very nervous

I have onx on my phone and a chip in my GPS.i had a property line surveyed awhile back. It was surveyed off of a corner boundary marker by a licensed surveyer. Both my phone and my GPS with the chip in it are off by about 10 feet the whole length on the property line. So I'm not too sure how accurate it is and I don't know if I'd trust it when hunting around private property.
