What do you prefer? Onxhunt or Huntstand?

[WhiteOakAcorn]

I know this has been talked about in the past but with the season closing in and different product updates rolling out I'm curious to hear what everyone is leaning towards. I used both last year but mapped most of my points in Onxhunt. There are a number of things in Huntstand I like too. Any thoughts?

No experience with OnX. I can say though that Huntstand has met my needs so far.

 

[Recurveaholic]

I love Huntstand! Do not know about OnX!

Have had the paid version of both. 100% prefer HuntStand.

Really. Why is that? I'm curious because I've never used huntstand

I use HuntStand for my area. It works as it is intended to and it keeps my ass from getting lost if I am in a new area!

Have only had OnX but It has been worth every penny.

I still think Gaia (https://www.gaiagps.com/hike/ ) beats them both - you just have to get used to it.
The premium maps are less expensive, has all the layers OnX has, gives you nationwide access not just per-state.

I use Huntstand and Huntwise.

 

[ThomasHemlock]

OnX and CalTopo do everything I need.

Does it give you public/private borders?

I was a HuntStand user, and my brother was an OnX user. They are pretty similar, really. But because I had access to both I used both. Sometimes I noticed the names with the parcels were different between the two... OnX was always the correct one, and up to date. I’ve since switched to OnX, and split the price with my brother. I don’t imagine I’d go back, but there is no significant differences. Not that I remember, at least.

Part of it is probably because that's what I found first, and am more comfortable with. Layout feels more intuitive, and I have 0 use for OnX's map layers. I want to see ground, not shades of blue.

That, and it has a decent weather and so lunar component built in.

Gaia and Backcountry Navigator.

That's why I use Huntstand...

Huntstand.. I know the guys that developed it and they are good guys. Way better hunters than I. They are hang and hunters and I explained the saddle to them and he went home and went down the "wormhole". I believe he ordered an entire setup the next day

Good to know. Thanks
