Save the maps, and any markups you’ve added, to your smartphone or tablet and take it into the field with you. With the GPS already built-in to your phone and with the maps on the HUNT App, you’ll also always know your location relative to public and private property boundaries, and can easily view land owner names and hunting district boundaries. State-specific HUNT Apps are available for purchase at www.huntinggpsmaps.com for $29.99, and a free 7-day trial is available to download on both iOS App and Google Play stores.

“Many people don’t realize that the GPS on a smartphone does not need to be in cell range to work. It’s satellite,” said Matt Seidel, onXmaps HUNT Product Manager. “You can study maps and look at access points and review public versus private and hunting district boundaries all from home, and then simply save the maps on your phone and take your phone to the woods with you and have all the data at your fingertips.”
