Switching to another mapping program can be a painful experience if you don't want to lose your content, but onX Hunt gives you the ability to upload this information into your onX Hunt account to ease the transition.
Table of Contents:
- Transferring content from BaseMap.
- Transferring content from Gaia GPS.
- Transferring content from a Garmin GPS unit or Garmin BaseCamp.
- Transferring content from Google Earth Pro.
HuntWise, HuntStand, and some other mapping programs do not allow their customers to control their own data, so unfortunately you cannot transfer your data from these programs into any other program.
Transferring content from BaseMap

- Click the "Import/Export" button on the left side of the page:
- Click the "Export" tab at the top of the menu:
- Check the boxes next to the content you want to transfer, then click the "Export" button:

NOTE: On Android devices, the "Export" option will be in the Waypoint or Track's menu with no need to tap the three dots.
- Tap "Export."

- A menu of other apps will appear on your screen. Save your content to your computer by selecting your email application, and email the file to yourself.
