For the first onX Tech Tip, we're going to go over one of the most important features of the Hunt app: Offline Maps. A common misconception we see is "Well I hunt where there's no service so this won't work" but you don't need any service to use all the features of the app and to see the information. All you need to do is save your map for offline use before heading out and you'll turn your cell phone into a fully functional GPS unit. Below is a detailed walk-through on how to take advantage of that feature. We'll be giving away a Premium membership to one Rokslide user who "Likes" this post so like below for a chance to win.
