About onX Maps
onX Maps provides GPS mapping apps for outdoor pursuits, with separate products for hunting, off-roading, backcountry activities and fishing. Its signature feature is land ownership mapping that works offline, so users can see who owns the land they are standing on. The apps run on phones as well as on a desktop browser.
Each product focuses on a different activity. The hunting app helps people find opportunities and understand their usual locations, the off-road app lists more than 650,000 miles of trails mapped by users, and the backcountry app covers trails and ski line information. The fishing app helps people find and filter lakes. The company also has onX SOS for emergency rescue, a business offering and access initiatives. It is a hosted commercial service.
