Leave a Review BaseMap
Lots of features. Great for being in the outdoors!
I’ve been using BaseMap for several months, for hunting and scouting and for hiking. There are some really great features including a variety of map views and many great overlays to help you locate exactly what you’re looking for. The 3D map feature is awesome to see terrain. Marking spots for baits and cameras is very simple, and I love being able to add pictures. Highly recommend this app to anyone that will be outdoors. Recent updates to the app have made it even better. The offline capabilities are excellent for when there’s no cell service. And the weekly GearDrop game is a great way to explore the many features and layers.Show lessWaddysarah

Thank you for the review and for using BaseMap!Best Outdoors Map App
I’ve tried just about every map on the App Store and BaseMap is easily the best. The sheer amount of options with layers and maps is unmatched. The customization is unmatched as well. It is so easy to track and mark everything I’m doing and compile a custom map to meet my needs. They’re always adding new features and details. I’m hoping to see some more markers for wild plants such as trees, flowers, edible plants, non-edible plants, toxic plants, and more for the avid naturalist and to assist the hunter as well. If you know what your game is eating you have an edge in finding them. Keep up the great work, guys!Show lessEndlessCascade
Not bad, good price, but needs work.
Really need to work on updating the public hunting land...I live in WV and the boundaries are no where near where they should be, does not give accurate amount of acreage, and a lot of the public areas aren’t even on the map. Take for instance sand hill wildlife management area it is 2,000 plus acres and the app states it is 16 acres on one then 2 or 3 on the other. I just bought a year subscription due to the price over onX, but if this what I can expect from this app this will be the only year I’ll eat $30. I understand y’all are just gaining traction, but if you’re going to compare yourself to onX and have people say that your app is better, y’all better be squared away before hand.Show lessBigred6578
Would be 5 stars
The app is great and everything I would want In a hunting app. The fact that it has google maps and google earth is awesome. Before I used to switch back and forth from onX and google earth but now I have it all in one. Being able to buy the whole country for $30/ year is super sweet too.
Everything is awesome except for one fatal flaw; when you’re moving around on the map interface it miss clicks on pieces of property and a page pops up with the land data and property owner info. This wouldn’t be too big of an issue by itself but a second page pops up behind the first that is an advertisement to upgrade to another of BaseMaps services.
So when you’re moving around the map scouting out an area or property, the miss click will happen and then you have to exit out of the first land data pop up and then exit the second advertisement pop up to get back to the map. This will keep happening every 10-15 seconds, just enough to make you go nuts. If there was a way to get rid of the upgrade advertisement and maybe a double tap for the land data then the app would be a lot better in my opinion.
That being said, I probably won’t switch back to onX because of this. It is really annoying and that’s why I can’t give it 5 stars right now. If you’re on the fence about the app I would recommend giving it a try.Show lessjuanathon

Thank you for the great review and for using BaseMap! Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the parcel overlay. Double tapping on the map is industry standard to zoom in. A single tap will select the item you tapped on and show the information in a pop up. It sounds like you are referring to the Hunt Research add on...this will pop up if you have a hunting unit boundary layer on and tap on the map. If you turn that layer off, you won't see the pop up. Please reach out to support@basemap.com if you have any questions.Positives and Negatives
I like that one subscription gets you access to layers in all states. Compared to that other hunting maps app this is convenient. Some layers are really useful and only available in this app, not in the competitor's app. It is easier to draw overlays in this app.
The map view occasionally crashes, does not display with correct layers selected/deselected. Force quitting and restarting gets it working again. Some layers are displaying far less detail than the competitor. Notably, POI has way less detail than recreation sites in that other maps app. Lastly, I realized the app was tracking my location when no tracks were being recorded and cannot find any option to purge this data.
Overall I will probably only renew pro sub when the relevant layers are useful for a particular trip.Show lessVytwit

Thank you for the feedback. We will pass this on to our development team.The BEST mapping app out there!
Great app! Much more detail and options for layering than other apps currently on the market! It honestly is the best hand held mobile app there is. I have TONS of experiences with the competition and basemap takes the cake!
With so many more layering and in depth mapping options it’s worth every little penny for the membership and it’s a fraction of the cost of most other applications. And the newest addition of the GearDrop is so nice! Literally all you have to do is have the app downloaded, drop a pin and you can win hundreds of dollars in FREE gear no strings attached!
If you’re sitting in the fence with downloading the app, just do it! Sign up for the free trial and I promise you you’ll not stop there. For this price it’s a no brainer current and the most accurate info for all 50 states is at the palm of your hands.Show lessdallinh64

Thank you for the review and for using BaseMap!Mountain
This app is the real deal! Been in the Big Horn mountains for 9 days now. Super easy to use! Easy to re-locate wallows and fresh sign by using the markers. Love the (track your steps function. The app shows great detail of trees, grassy areas, and rocky areas. By the way it’s super useful to route out the easiest way back to your spike camp. I do recommend paying for the subscription if your hunting in the mountains just for the topography maps(it will help you plan your hunt)Show lessCl8ton!!!4567993456
Love it
After having time to learn about the many multiple options that this app offers, I will never hunt or scout without it. Whether you hunt private, or public, you wouldn’t believe what you can learn by utilizing the multitude of layers BaseMap offers. This weekend I placed a trail camera deep on my property, where I have never stepped foot. Not only did I add a marker where the cam is, but I left a track back to the camera. It literally marks your steps. Great stuff BaseMap!Show lesssb_22
King of Maps
I’ve been like most other outdoorsmen, and tried multiple different mapping systems. The big names, the small names, the chips. This year I finally settled in to what I believe to be the best mapping and scouting tools to date. BaseMap thoroughly provides information so clearly and easily, while maintaining the most accurate and up to date information in regards to property lines, ownership, and access. Everything about it has been enjoyable and it comes at a large fraction of the cost of its competitors. Very pleased, and highly recommendShow lessREELhiphop
A Must for Any Outdoor Enthusiast!!
I have been using BaseMap for the last few months and love all the functions. The landowner information for all 50 states is my favorite feature since I work and hunt in several different states. It is easy to use BaseMap on the desktop to do my e-scouting, and then mark waypoints to use on my phone in the field. The offline maps use way less memory than other apps I have used, and work better when out of service. This app is a must have tool for anyone spending time outdoors!Show lessmadisoty
