If you mean GPS through phone, It’s good enough. App is still a bit clunky but some easy upgrades would make it great. Download offline maps if you know you won’t be within service.  If reception is spotty where you’re hunting, go to offline mode or you’ll get some aberrant points miles away along your track.

Great points....also, if you don't have reception and are using offline mode, switch your phone to airplane mode to save your battery.

I used on-x in CO last year. It was very useful. For Long Island, I really haven't used it, as I tend to go to a spots that I am already familiar with and some of those spots are small 25 acre parcels. Out west, a section is 640 acres and is considered a small parcel. If you are hunting large parcels or unfamiliar ground, i think it will be useful.

The off line mode really appeals to me as I believe some state land parcels near me won’t have service.

Its nice to mark waypoints.  I have my home treestands, my spots at work, and my spots at camp in the Dak’s.  I like using the boot tracker when I scout, I can mark where I see rubs, scrapes, etc.

I have it and like it but BaseMap and HuntStand have surpassed Onyx with newer and more updated maps

I have used OnX extensively hunting in New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. It’s also good for finding public lands in NY or anywhere for that matter. I find that the actual owners of private lands tend to not be very up to date with real estate transactions but you always know where the boundaries are. The downloadable maps work great for areas without internet coverage.

overall, it’s a great resource that I use a lot.

Works like a GPS. Can mark stand locations, rubs, scrapes, downed deer, last blood, etc. Gets you to within 20 feet or so. Helps identify public land boundaries. You can e-scout and mark areas that you are interested in and navigate to it. If you already have a Garmin or similar, On-x does not add that much for navigating.

I have it, I like it.  Paid for the NYS map, good for property lines etc if you're going to be on public land.  That seems to be it's main plus, the property lines, and sharing spots with people who also have it.

I use it and like it , they recently added a weather station feature which is nice . You can send people way points with photos attached now too. 

[Kmartinson]

Onus seems great. For me I like huntstand, it seems pretty user friendly

[Billdogge]

I use it. Great for really finding boundaries.

I have the upgraded version with property lines. That is the main reason I will use it. Very handy  for for finding borders of small public or private lots.. Other than that I prefer Google maps for waypoints etc..

I use it also and I love  it... Ive never shared waypoints though.  Does that feature work while offline and no cell service?

I have used it in the past, I think I am going to try HuntWise this year

We used to use Huntstand regularly, but the last two years it deleted all of our waypoints for our hunting property about two weeks before the season, so buyer beware.

The first year it happened, I contacted their customer support and they restored them. The second year I also contacted them and they still haven't responded. It wasn't just me either, every member of the property that shared the waypoints had the same issue. All of our tracks, sightings, harvests and waypoints were deleted.

On X is great but HuntStand has the scent cone feature that I love
