I’m heading up to Colorado for an elk hunt the first week of November. I’ve got OnX on my phone and will download all the maps I need for offline use. I also will have the OnX chip in my GPS for redundancy. I have a baseplate orienteering compass and would like to buy a waterproof paper map as a back up to my electronic devices. Based on the research I’ve done, my Topo seems to be the most recommended paper map. I can buy a map of the GMU I’ll be hunting from them, but it’s scale is 1:100,000. The custom maps allow you to zoom in to 1,24:000, but only covers a small potion of the unit. What should I do? Is the 1:100,000 scale map sufficient to navigate if it comes down to that, or should I get 3 or 4 of the zoomed in map to cover the areas I plan to hunt. Really need some advice as this is my first experience with paper maps and compasses.
