X2 on CalTopo. OnX and the other mapping apps geared toward hunters are great and all, but CalTopo is awesome and it's totally free. I also use the slope angle feature religiously. You can set it up to be either gradient or fixed, too, which is nice depending on the piece of land.I’m not familiar with GAIA, but CAL TOPO has slope angle I use it religiously. Combined with Forest Service 2016 topos, it’s hard to beat for finding pinch points in hill country.

The false color IR layer in Caltopo is interesting. I just started working with it. If I'm not mistaken, I think I first heard about it from Robert Loper, on here, in one of his videos. Apparently, the layer makes vegetation density stand out and makes picking up subtly transitions easier to pick out and highlights probable bedding areas. It's fairly new to me so I'm still learning it.
In the base layers box on the right hand side of the screen it is in the second drop down box from the top. There is usually something like 2013-2014 in there. click in that and drop down and you should see false color ir.You’re absolutely right @NMSbowhunter. Problem is that I can’t remember how to get to that layer . Totally stumped

Very Cool! For others that are reading this you need to select NAIP as the Base Layer then False Color IR from the dropdown.The false color IR layer in Caltopo is interesting.
