Do you trust OnX?

I'm wondering about, with respect to the number of hunters that use OnX relative to the total number of hunters, what is that percentage. I don't know that it's out there but I'm curious. Possibly state by state number of OnX users versus number of tags sold in a given state would be the metric compared to number of residents of a state and how many folks access all trails.
 
This maybe out there... Most rangefinders take into account inclination. Is there a GPS system, OnX or otherwise, that takes into account elevation and distance horizontally to be fairly close with respect to distance traveled? My thought is with a barometric altimeter or gps elevation along with distance based on map scale it would be pretty much spot on.

If you are planning routes mileage is only half the equation. Mileage plus elevation gain is a whole other ballgame. Sometimes 6 miles is far. Sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes it takes more time and effort to go 3.
 
Regardless of Onyx or gps, etc are those using elevation in their calculation or is it straight flat map surface mileage?
