This is the first time I have seen LIDAR accessible through a hunting app. It is available on desktop only at the moment but LIDAR with adjustable 3D relief mode that you can browse anywhere is BLOWING MY MIND

Spartan Forge Platform Now Offers LIDAR
- Thread starter BackSpasm
- Start date
It’s been on HuntStand for a while but I am glad SF has it now too. It’s called terrain on there. Maybe a little different but pretty similar.
They really have true LIDAR as well? I looked all over and can't find any mention of it on their site. Google terrain type imaging and lidar where you can see specific tree root balls are different
I think Huntstands terrain model is based off of USGS 20’ contour interval data.
Does Spartan Forge give a resolution/contour Interval of their LiDAR data? Is it available for all States and Counties.
Sorry, you’re right it is google terrain. They look similar but are different.
It’s available on the iPhone app now.

I’m loving it! Even though I have zero terrain within an hour of me in all directions.
I just have to use it more in general. I really like the app and it has a ton of info but I tend to revert back to the old standby because I’m familiar with all the features and can access them more quickly.
It's on the android app also. Kinda neat, I was using my county GIS website before.

I really like having 2 apps, not just 1. Each one on the market right now has features I like but I’ve narrowed it down to 2 that has majority of what I like in the apps in general. If I only had 1 I would miss the other one.
Super happy to have Lidar on the app now. It will be and has already been helpful in my escouting. Hung a cam yesterday in a spot that I previously missed because the detail wasnt available before. Found it on the map and when I got in there, it looks even better in person.
SF is getting better and better. Happy I made the switch from OnX. I don’t see a ton of active spartan forge forums online so if the development team reads this I have a couple of improvement requests: PLEASE let me change the color of the shapes I draw on the map so they aren’t all orange. Please let me export my hunt journals as text so I can print them for a hard copy back up/ store them for my kids to read one day etc. Finally, I would really love it if there was a checkbox on the line edit tool where I can turn off the displayed yardage measurement from point to point. All of those distances junk up the screen on properties I hunt but I don’t always want the lines to be gone from my display entirely
You can bulk transfer but you will have to reassign all the waypoint icons as they will appear as question marks. Been there done that. Give it some time and the use will get more and more natural vs onx. Onx is a bit more intuitive but SF is so feature rich
If I transferred over on a computer then it will be transferred over on the app correct? Thanks
