Why does the resolution on my Onx suck?

[Fatcamp]

Google Earth is much clearer. This caused a dangerous situation for me last week.

I don't like it. Google clearly shows the trail out that is not visible with Onx.

Ideas? I updated and it didn't help.

GE will always be better but my 5 mile maps aren't bad.

Maybe someone can let me know what these purple swatches are?
They’ve been there for months

I always assumed they were clouds!

Obvious question… but would need to rule it out… We’re you in Did you download the highest resolution maps? I have forgotten to download high quality maps before and relying on the low res wasn’t great

Do purple clouds make purple rain?
Prince would be proud

I believe you have the "roadless areas" layer turned on.

That was it! Thx!

Do you have the “recent imagery” feature turned on? That often has much less resolution.

Also, if downloading and using offline you need to download high res, when you actually have good internet and high res displaying.

This wasn't a downloaded map.

I will try downloading for the area and see if it helps.

Maybe you had poor signal at the time

I'm at home now, and it sucks.

Not nearly as good as google earth but definitely adequate.

Connect to wifi?

Downloaded map in high resolution evolution connected to wifi. Map sucks and I still can't see the jeep trail I needed.

Maybe your expectations are simply too high.

I use google earth to scout alongside OnX and mark paths on OnX using Google earth as a guide on the computer prior to leaving the house.

Maybe, except a couple years ago we used Onx to find this same trail? For the first time, racing a thunderstorm. I knew it was there but had never walked it.

I specifically remember it being very clear and now it's not visible at all. Maybe the landscape has changed but I think I need to reconsider my options.

Can you take a screenshot of the area and dm it to us? That will help us to take a look on our end and see if we are seeing the same thing you are, or if there is another issue causing your map to be blurry.

Is it better on the computer?

No, it appears to be the same image.

Trees grow and clouds cover images. What you saw a couple of years ago has almost zero bearing on what you see today.

I think your expectations are just too high. Your only option is to subscribe to multiple mobile satellite imagery services and hope one is great where you are hunting at that time.
