How to use onX Hunt

The Map Layers menu in the lower left-hand corner of your screen allows you to overlay your map with dozens of different map layers showing private land, government land, hunting/game management unit boundaries, and much more. 

Premium or Premium+ users have access to all general layer collections and the layer collections for one or two states, respectively. 

Elite Members have access to all Map Layers.

Tap the Location button in the lower right-hand corner of your screen to center your map on your current location, shown with a blue dot on your screen.

• One tap centers the map on your current location in a north-up orientation and follows you as you move.
• Tap the button again to enter a fixed-heading orientation and show a directional "flashlight" indicator.

If you adjust your viewing area, the App won't stay centered on your current location as you move.

• If you notice your location dot moving off the screen, tap the Location button again to re-center the map on your current location.

Tap the 2D/3D Map tab at the top of the Basemap menu to switch between a two or three-dimensional map.
