To use onX Hunt effectively in the field you need to be familiar with its features and capabilities, so let's dive in.
Any onX Hunt user can access their Hunt Membership through the onX Hunt App (which is how you'll use your Membership on a phone or tablet) or via the Web Map, a web-based program you can sign into from a web browser on a computer (it can't be saved or downloaded to your computer).
You can log into the same onX Hunt account on up to two mobile devices at a time and access the Web Map on as many desktop or laptop computers as you wish.
However, we can't log someone out of your account if you grant them access, so please protect your account credentials accordingly.
