I use it often and its worth it to me, what counties are you trapping in the U.P Would determine if it would be worth it to you or not. Some counties it shows the Landowner property lines and the name of owners along with all public lands. Some Counties it doesn't.

Yes it is worth the price in my way of thinking. You can down load a area when you have WiFi or cell reception and use it when and where you don't have reception. I also have a Garmin Oregon 450I just in case of dead batteries in one or the other.

Its worth it to me. I think it is easier to use on my smart phone than my GPS is and it has some great features. They are now putting the weather on the APP.
It's a trappers life for me

I used the 1 week trial of On X during my kid's "youth only" elk hunt because the hunt area did not include the areas we normally hunt. It was very easy to use to find the open area (designated by fish and game) AND those area that were also public hunting grounds. I liked it so much, I bought the 1 year subscription for my state and have been using it for trapping. In fact, it even has a "trap" icon for marking trap locations. It has been very helpful when a buddy has marked a hot trapping location that I've never been to, then I can follow the moving map write to the spot and set on location.
Another thing to take advantage of: Steve Rinella is a spokesman / sponsored by On X. If you use "MEATEATER" promo code, you get a discount. Think my total was $23.00 for single state.

I just did the 7 day free trial and it is not showing property owners names like a plat book. It isn't showing private or public land neither. I may not be doing something correct also. You can choose what you want displayed. Go to "my layers", click on the drop down arrow by your state, choose what you want: private land, government land, wmu's, etc.

Check the map layers and make sure the public lands layer and land owner layer are turned on. I have used it all fall. I use it 10x more than the navionics app I also have that is 10$ a year. I find it is like combining google maps, a plat book, and a handheld gps into 1 package. I think the only limiting factor to how much map area you download is the amount of data your phone can store. If you want high detail you will have to download smaller sections of your area and switch between them, or you can zoom out for less detail but more area.
If your county has a plat book, onx should be as up to date as the plat book. They claim they update on a 2-3 year cycle, with the most current data the county provides.
I have used it this year for northeast WI, manitowoc county, oconto county, marrinette county, forest county. All worked great for both private lands, and navigating areas of nicolette and chewamegon national forest. I downloaded sections of the n as time ok nal forest because my data service is spotty up there. It was great.

Coykill, I have problems with it showing any information in Michigan also. It may give you the option to turn it on but won't allow you too, let us know if that's The case with yours also. Deff has some glitches that need to be worked on. I did use it in South Dakota, Illinois, Missouri and wi with no problems. Did not work in Colorado or Michigan very well

I use it in the UP while Grouse hunting. It doesn't show much private land up there. In the lower part of Michigan it works great and also Kentucky. It does work well when I down load areas and I do not have good service. I guess they just haven't gotten the UP private land ownership all plotted yet. I do like the satellite imagry.
It is what it is.
