Using onX Hunt with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto

Connect the onX Hunt App to a compatible in-dash display using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to change Basemaps, mark your location with a Waypoint, and adjust your map view directly from your vehicle's screen. We recommend a high-quality USB cable for the best performance. You'll need the mobile App on your phone for all other actions and tools, including generating turn-by-turn directions with onX Navigation on CarPlay.
