Lidar and Terrain -X for OnX

[Tony Trietch]

OnX Maps has a new function called Terrian-X (still in beta) for seeing slope angles and aspect, in addition to topo using lidar now. Pretty cool stuff!

Here is a link to short explanation:

That lidar feature looks really useful. It's wild how accessible that type of data has become just in the last 10 years.

Yeah the amount of detail is crazy. I am not going to use the "game changer" phrase but this will save me time and effort.

I am excited that Onx has the lidar. I have been using Caltopo in addition to Onx. The lidar is better, the shaded relief is awesome, and you can download 3d maps for offline use.
