Dropped onx and went to Gaia

[ccc23454]

Made the swap, tired of issues with onx and trying out Gaia. So far i like app and map selection is incredible, i really like the topo choices. One thing i noticed so far is i like the way onx shows MVUM roads better but that is likely just going to take getting use to or finding a different map overlay. Anyone have any map packs or overlays they really like?

I use both. I use Gaia 95% of the time, ONX 5% of the time.

I like that Gaia has hierarchical folder so I store waypoints in a folder structure like: hunting/2024/pheasants/MT

I like the high resolution imagery in Gaia and ability to label waypoints such as "Flushed rooster 1-Nov-2023".

I also like that in Gaia private land layer I can see exactly what the landowner name is and how many acres the parcel is.

Here is a link to a post from 2022 on why I preferred Gaia over ONX

I asked again cause thread took a wild turn by page 3 about onx owners plus wasn't sure if anyone had any new info. So far significantly improved imagery and topos I am completely impressed with, nice not having western wyoming buried in snow on maps.

You can’t say Gaia without saying, well, you get it

I have on x and spartan forge

I see and do this with Onyx all the time

I’m trying to figure out who between the two has the best and most accurate motor vehicle utility map (MVUM).

I don’t want to sign up for Gaia’s trial to see their map layers.

Does Gaia have a public/private land ownership layer like OnX?

Gaia has both a public and private land ownership layer. There is 100s of map and overlay combo that you basically develop as you like. A lot more complex than onx but also much higher quality imaging.

Gaia has all the mvum info but doesn't present it as good as onx does (my opinion) but am thinking will get use to it. I am more curious now about accuracy with maps showing roads that are actually just cattle trail or ribbon cliffs or other land features that somehow was interpreted as a 2track (false road). Onx had tons of them in some of my units but haven't had a chance to truly look that over yet, not sure if it's their software or data they are buying.

Gaia gets a little sticky downloading maps sometimes. Make sure you check for completion before setting out. Great app otherwise.

I'm lucky in the areas where I hunt, Onx has superior sat imagery to every other phone app.

Please share a pin so I can verify for myself.

I requested onx to update their satellite maps for an area I regularly hunt, and they did within a couple of weeks. It was a big area that had a blurry image.

Other apps like gohunt and Gaia, and Google maps have the blurry image still.

I just switched back to onX from GAIA. I found GAIA to be much slower and have more glitch’s in the last few years. To me they have to many layers and they have started to make things to complicated

I started it with GAIA and then switched to OnX.
OnX is just easier for me and works well in my areas. Never got the hang of Gaia.
