In vehicle navigation while hunting

[TSAMP]

What is everybody using when you're driving between spots, on and off pavement goinf to waypoints? I have a non fancy screen/navigation f150 so I usually am holding my phone running onx. It's annoying and if I'm being honest with myself it's one of the reasons I am considering a new truck, for one of those giant screens with carplay.

I started thinking on a tablet, or I see garmin has a in vehicle package. What say you experts?

Following. I’ve been thinking of putting a navigation radio in my truck but haven’t yet.

Instinct.

I replaced the head unit in my 2008 Tundra to a CarPlay unit and use OnX. It’s awesome for driving to a parking spot in the dark, the fog, snow, etc.

It’s a Sony XAV AX5000. If I were to do it over I’d probably drop the extra coin to have wireless CarPlay, but it was another 3-400 as I recall. I think I paid around $500 through Crutchfield for this one.

OnX popped up on my F350 also. I'm going to give it a try while out of service.

onx, every day I hunted

To my knowledge onX is active on car play but not for droids yet.

Until then I'll continue to use Google maps one the dash / onX on my phone.

I use Android Auto with Gaia GPS app in the Silverado. I pick my overlays...topos or satellite images.

Best I found was Gaia on my phone. Phone velcroed to the dash. Gaia keeps your location centered on the screen and has USGS Topo map layers. Hard to beat having real time navigation on an actual topo map.

OnX on phone, mag mount to dash works for me

Amazing what all folks need, just to get to their hunting spot these days

OnX on CarPlay is nice in a new area. Particularly the ones checkered with private.

@Billy Goat, I don't know. That smile looks like something else maybe. Like "he got a really purdy mouth, ain't he?" Or something like that. Creepy for sure.

I’ve spent plenty of time looking at a map while parked at a fork in the road two hours before daybreak. This sure makes it easier.

I can certainly understand this, some of the best spots ive bird hunted were random spots that looked nice while driving to a waypoint on a map.

Ain't nothing creepy.

Just I'll race you to the next mailbox.




Come Friday night, we just kinda come up with entertainment

I know, we really should be going back to simple things like basic maps and a compass, and surveying tools too.

Everyone should always be able to read a map and compass, but if I have a choice over paper and a compass or a gps, I'm taking the gps. Especially traveling to a area ive.never been to in the dark and driving after working all day.

On my 2023 Tundra screen I use OnX
