Do you trust OnX?

I would think OnX with the use of the gps tracking would be more accurate than the step counter.

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?

Thank you!

I’ve always thought that OnX overestimated Distance traveled, I guess I will have to take a better look at it.
