OnX maps which layers are important?

[Huntinman57]

Just curious which layers I should download for my Colorado elk hunt? I am very new to the onX so any help will be appreciated!

I would start with the Roadless layer and trail overlays.

Public lands can come in handy on occasion

The forest fire layer could also be helpful

I also like the timber cut layer

Where do you find the layers on the app?

I think there is National Layer and State Layer buttons. Different options in each.

I wouldn't download any of them to my phone without spending a substantial amount of time using their web map on the pc.

I show several layers but for whatever reason I don’t know how to turn them on and off from the app. The pc I could do they not have capability from the app?

Tap on map layers on the bottom to open them and then there is state layers and national layers. Tap on the one you want on or off. You can change the transparency of the shaded areas also from there

If you are using the app offline with downloaded maps, you can turn the layers on or off that where on when you downloaded the map. On your phone look at the bottom of the screen, look for map layers and my contentView attachment 70331

I got it figured out I needed to get on the online map turn them on then they worked on the app when I turned it back on

It does not hurt to download all of them with the map. I use the 10 mile setting and I'll do the outside areas if needed also in a 10 mile. This seems to make the map easier to navigate in my opinion. I down load on computer with all of the layers, you can shut the layers off if not needed.

On the subject of downloaded maps, Is there a way to have a downloaded map follow you. I always have to scroll the map as I am moving to keep me in the screen.

They all have a purpose, which ones are important to you depend on where you are at and what you are doing.
