I moved all of onx over via export then import but then had to change all of the waypoint icons to what I wanted them to be which is laborious and a little OCD

Spartan Forge Desktop App Takes Monumental Leap
- Thread starter BackSpasm
- Start date
I was told yes, video on the Tube.
Mine has a pin for water source under the structures tab. I'm on the paid version though so I dont know if there is a difference.

No it doesn't.
Thanks it was there.
How do you create a hunt area?
I may not be able to do it in the free version.

I got the paid version and can't create a hunt area.
This video is old too, it’s improved more since then and is about to get LiDAR later this year
Honestly havent tried. I will see if I have or can use it. My "hunt" areas are usually just the area I save for offline, lol.

AI that generates data about high percentage hunting areas…
I want nothing to do with supporting that.
i was considering switching to spartan forge till the revelation of their Intentions for hunting AI within the app.

What are you referring to. I haven't heard about this.
That’s not what it does

That’s what someone who uses the AI to find deer WOULD SAY!!
...yet
Pre launch hype, that's what he said the intent was.
I did some research and apparently that has not come into fruition. The current AI is just another deercast/weather/astrology concept.
Make no mistake though any location-assistance AI would 100% be built on the backs of user data. Maybe they realized the error in that and reeled it in. Or maybe its still in development.
100% sketched me out, but to be fair I have the same concerns about my OnX and Huntstand data eventually going that direction as well.

I don’t know what any of the hunt apps are trying to develop. But I can make some guesses and I don’t like where it’s heading.

They were studying collar deer movement and creating an algorithm off of that. Absolutely nothing to do with user data. He was developing it before the app was a thing. I'm as sceptical as the next guy about privacy but that is completely different than what he was using "AI" to do

This conversation makes me feel like a cynical old man (which I’m neither).
Using collard Deer data is precisely what I’m worried about. Hunting doesn’t need any more easy buttons. When you put all these technologies together you remove the need for skill. If people want an easier go at hunting then they can head to a region with an excessive deer population - at least that way they are learning and helping to keep a healthy herd.
Once the software exists to predict deer
Movement based on collared deer data, the apps will absolutely be incentivized to mine user data to refine the accuracy of software.
I hope the next generation of hunters will be more skillful and effective than we are, but not because Siri told them where to go and how to get there.
