Whether you’re planning a hunt or scouting a new area, the Basemaps menu in the onX Hunt App gives you the tools to better understand the landscape, allowing you to switch between Satellite, Topo, or Hybrid Basemaps and toggle between a 2D or 3D map view.
High-definition topography captured via LiDAR is available with the Topo Basemap enabled.
How to change your Basemap
Tap on the Basemap button in the lower, right-hand corner of your screen.
Tap Satellite, Hybrid, or Topo to change the displayed Basemap.
- SATELLITE: displays imagery providing an aerial perspective, typically 1–4 years old on average.
- HYBRID: displays satellite imagery with superimposed contour lines.
- TOPO: displays a topographic map at a 1:24k scale (1:25k for Alaska).
If you're using the Web Map from your desktop or laptop computer, you can access the Basemaps menu by clicking the Basemap button ( ) in the lower right-hand corner of your screen.
To view high-definition topography captured via LiDAR, select the Topo Basemap and tap the LiDAR toggle button to turn it on.

3D Maps and Elevation Exaggeration
3D Maps allow you to view a three-dimensional map of any given area in the Hunt App and can be a useful tool for visualizing the geographic features of a given area during your planning process.
3D Maps require an internet connection—not available offline.
To enter 3D mode, tap the Basemaps button ( ) in the lower right corner of your screen, then tap 3D Map.
Your viewing angle will change from a top-down, 2D view to a 3D perspective.
To adjust the viewing angle, place two fingers on your screen and move them up or down at the same time.
Elevation Exaggeration
Elevation Exaggeration helps you better visualize subtle changes in terrain used for bedding areas, water sources, or feeding zones.
To use Elevation Exaggeration, turn on Show Terrain Exaggeration Control in 3D from the Settings menu.
Then, turn on 3D Mode, tap the "Elev. +" button, and drag the slider up or down.
From the Web Map:
Open the Basemaps menu, enter 3D mode, and drag the slider button to the right or left.
