Saving Offline Maps from your computer
While you can’t use offline maps directly on a computer, you can still create and sync them to your mobile device.
-
Log into the Hunt Map at www.onxmaps.com
-
Click the Offline Maps button in the left-side toolbar.
- Select New Offline Map.
Use Offline Map Preview to compare detail levels before saving (only available on Web).
Using the App without Cell Service
Once your Offline Maps are downloaded, you’ll still be able to see your location using GPS—even without a signal.
What downloaded Offline Maps look like:
-
A green checkmark and solid green border = downloaded
-
A download icon and red/white border = not downloaded
If a Map isn't downloaded, tap the download icon and wait for it to complete.
To use your Offline Maps, enable Offline Mode:
-
-
Open Offline Maps and tap Go Offline, or
-
Turn on Airplane mode (saves battery).
-
To return online, tap the red Offline button or exit Airplane mode.
Managing your Offline Maps
To edit or remove a downloaded map from your device and free up space, tap the three dots next to a map name in the Offline Maps menu.
- Select Edit to change the map name or add notes.
-
Select Remove to clear local data, or Delete to permanently remove it from your account.
Offline Maps can't be repositioned—if you're not happy with where an Offline Map is saved, delete it and save a new one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share Offline Maps with someone else?
No. Each person needs to download maps to their own device(s).
Can I save maps in landscape orientation?
No. Maps are saved in portrait orientation only.
Why isn’t the map I saved from my computer showing on my phone?
Close and re-open the App, or drag down the top of the Offline Maps menu to refresh.
What does “Update Available” mean?
New data is available for that map. Tap to update and ensure you’re seeing the latest info.
Will I still see my location offline?
Yes. GPS works without cell service. If your location isn’t showing, tap the location icon and/or check your device's location service permissions.
What’s the difference between Low, Medium, and High detail?
Higher detail maps are limited in size and take up the most storage space on your device, but also offer the same level of detail you can see with service. For ultimate coverage, save High-resolution maps inside of Low or Medium-resolution maps.
