This is great backcountry app. I underestimated it at first, I thought it was confusing and clunky until I was actually out in the field with it and then it all came together. It's lifesaving good.
I didn't think much of this app until I used it in the field, then it all came together and I was blown away. It's life saving good. Absolutley awesome backcountry/hiking app.
This is an extremely underrated app. It’s confusing and not very good if you’re sitting in your house, trying to figure it out but once you’re out there, it all makes sense and it’s awesome. This is a life-saving trails app.
This is a good advanced masterclass. Is there an orientation masterclass. How can I save a gpx file for a route/track that is previously on the map? I need to use gpx file for my smartwatch. Also, I can not find where on the app to export. No option.
@onXBackcountry @codytownsend Thanks for the tour! You mention integration and exporting. If I upload and contribute routes can a friend who prefers to use the Gaia or Caltopo apps Export my route (GPX or KML) and use it in another app or is it a one way street into OnX? It's a cool platform for sharing spatial data and I love the extra layers you're pulling in but I don't want my contributions to be locked into OnX. As a contributor perhaps you'll let me set the Sharing settings to Creative Commons for example.
Im here to learn how to use the app. This is a phenomenal app that overlays property lines while showing your location. It appears simple so I’m moving on, too much talk about everything except how to use the app.
FWIW if the team at OnX reads this.... I am struggling to drop a waypoint (or any marker for that matter) at the highest point of my route based on the elevation chart.
The internet was a little slow last night - so apologies for the lag in the recording which can make it a bit hard to see what I'm trying to show in the webinar. Thanks again to Josh for joining us last night and for Rocky Talkie for contributing radios to the giveaway. Hope to catch you on the next masterclass -Matt
At the current time all ski reports are categorized on the 'line' level vs the 'region' level. you have to click into individual routes to see the ski reports for those lines. It would be beneficial to have a zone/region level ski report as well - i'll forward that feedback to our product team -Matt
@@onXBackcountry thanks for the reply. What Im thinking of is a list of all ski reports (by line vs zone/region level reports) in a region. So the reports are still organized and attached to the line but there's a way to peruse all reports in a region too, and/or see recent/new ones. Maybe the lines as they are listed under a region have an indicator of new/unread reports.
Thank you, Matt and Mike. I missed the live webinar but finished watching the recorded session. Great info and please continue with these regularly. Cheers!
Awesome tutorial! I may have missed it, but when I download an offline map of a trail I drew, the elevation/distance profile becomes unavailable. Is there a way to keep that graph for offline use?
The advice to have a solid idea of how fast you can ascend while skinning and booting was a really useful tip for me. Definitely something I'm gonna keep in mind while training for the spring
I’m 55 so I just want to point out I’ve maps full of the trips I’ve taken on my shelf. I document the trip on my maps and I have maps that are for firewood, biking, packing. Some maps are covered in my memory’s, some are a single trip. I feel comfortable with maps and can accurately navigate. Planning is where I enjoy this technology. The overview available allows me to feel familiar in new terrain in new surroundings.
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 RU-vid. 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! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-08akYbVuzGM.html
This app has improved a lot since the first release. I have made the switch and I’ll be using it as my primary mapping software for my hiking and MT biking. Can’t wait to see the Onx Fish, avid fisherman from Minnesota I love the hunt app can’t wait to see what you guys do with the fishing app. If you need any beta testers, let me know ice fishing season is coming quick here.
We hope so too! one lucky winner and THREE of their friends will get to join the tour, stay 3 nights at Gravity Haus Truckee-Tahoe, and they ALL get skis from Salomon, Mammut Beacons + Probes + Shovels, and Rocky Talkie Radios. This is the trip of a lifetime! 🙌
on the bottom right of your app you can turn on 'tracker' which will track your hike and show you your milage and time. If you have tracker turned on and you click on the hiking trail, you can see your progress on the trail card on the elevation profile. I hope this helps!
