Prior to heading to Arizona for elk I knew I needed a GPS system, in my research I found out that most western guys have ditched the old handheld GPS and gone with onX on their phone. I went ahead and got the multistate package so that I can use it here in Ohio and in Arizona. All I have to say is HOLY HELL! Talk about a powerful source of information and tools right in your hand. Heres a quick list of the features that I've found pretty cool so far.
Offline Map download called "off-grid" (No signal needed to use, put your phone in airplane mode and the GPS still works)
Colored waypoint pins with different symbols
Layers. Satelite, topo, hybrid, US Forrest Service, etc, Switch between them with a tap of a button
Forrest fire layer shows current and historic fires. Hunting old burns is supposedly great due to the feed abundance of new growth.
Timeber cut areas to show you areas that have been logged
Wind direction pointer right on the map.
Public / Private land property lines are super accurate
Property owner information for each parcel
And the list could go on.
I'll make a couple of posts in this thread showing screenshots of some of these features.
