The real money is monetizing the bigfoot pin drops -- I bet Discovery channel would pay big money for that

I use them when its a super secret spot. That way when Onx gives my way points away to influencers they will be too scared to go there... you know, cuz of Bigfoot being tall and scaryI drop those e scouting as places to explore.
GIAIA is woke. They have a whole page dedicated to DIE. I'm sick of that garbage, it's destroying our country.The hypocrisy of some folks really amazes me sometimes.
I haven't been using OnX mainly because I didn't like having to pay for 3 different apps to get the same features in another app for a lot less money.
OnX Hunt Elite - $99yr
OnX Offroad - $35 or $99 per yr depending on subscription
OnX Backcountry - $30 or $99 per yr depending on subscription
I can get all those features in GAIA for $40 per year and it's all in one app. OnX is all marketing.
Really cheap until it's not

Correct to a degree as it would need some mechanism to get the data to Garmin.Not to restate the obvious, but you mean v. stand-alone GPS units, right? Again, luddite - tech and I aren't friends. Something like a Garmin Montana, there's no similar danger as with a smart phone app like On X?
The money is in tech. The fun is in leased access.Do outfitters make big profits? Seems there's much more money in tech...
Been saying it for years, everyone is so worried about the Government spying on them (rightfully so) they turned a blind eye to private companies. Private companies are far more effective at it than the Government could ever be too.From a pure surveillance perspective, we have zero privacy and it is not the government. Damn near everything spies on you and sends the data somewhere to be reviewed, sold, aggregated, etc. No government is as effecting at spying on its populace that businesses whose customers want convenience.
As technology becomes essential to everyday life (I.e. internet and smart phones to access essential services), the government has a role to regulate that market to protect citizens from exploitation (what capitalism does best).
Technology has outpaced legislation in many ways. This is one of many instances.
Being able to simply wake up, go to school and get a job for 99.999% of our population requires the use of internet and smart devices in 2023. That shouldn't automatically require every citizen to relinquish the right to their personhood. At least not for free.
Lots of studies out there that people want convenience (or candy) and will give up anything for it.Been saying it for years, everyone is so worried about the Government spying on them (rightfully so) they turned a blind eye to private companies.

If you're on Android, Locus Pro is excellent. It's like $4.99 for the pro version of the app (not yearly, it's a one time fee) and a few dollars here and there depending on what you download for offline use. It's not as strong on satellite views but that doesn't affect me because I usually plan all that out on my computer before my trips. It's VERY good about track and point management and has some neat tricks like showing extensive stats about a hike you just took, or showing "distance/bearing" guides to points you have set to go to.Best alternative app/map system?
