MUST HAVE Technology on Any Adventure!
I’ve used quite a few different mapping systems and apps out there, and I must say, BaseMap out performs in every category. Some of my favorite features are the 3D abilities when using apple products! It is a GAME CHANGER. I also love how the app stores the current location of what I’m looking at even if I close the app. It will zoom back in to where I left it! That is HUGE to me. Location sharing, tracking abilities,hunt data, etc. this technology from BasMap is a MUST HAVE! I can’t wait to use it more on my adventures...Show less@martinfox
Unreliable
The 3D mode is cool and the layers are pretty detailed, however the information such as property ownership and physical location are not always accurate. The property ownership hasn’t been updated in over a year and when hiking I find I have to switch to other map apps to get things to load even with the downloaded offline maps.
I would not recommend this app for serious hikers or hunters. Definitely wouldn’t recommend the hunt subscription either it gives no useful data for where I am at in the Southwest.
This app had a promising start, but over the year I have had it there has not been enough development on the app to make it worth another year for what you get.Show lessK15433
Still trying to figure it out
The potential is incredible. I can't figure out how to make a map section available offline, or know which maps have offline availability. I was just up the canyon this morning trying to use it but I didn't have a signal and suddenly the whole app became useless because I couldn't see anything.
So trying to control offline content is my current focus of attention. The online content is awesome. Just awesome. On my motorcycle I would use this over my Garmin if I could get it to update a bit quicker.
Also, I still have to buy another app in order to get disbursed camping sites. No disbursed camping info. I want to use this to find out of the way places to camp and it almost does it all. But not quite. This only four stars.Show lessBeyonderHill

Thank you for the review and for using BaseMap! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to support@basemap.com.I recommend to everyone!!
I’ve been using Base Map for almost a year now and am very impressed with all their features. What is even more impressive is their support team. I was having troubles with my app on two deferent occasions and they fix and help me in record time. I have switch two of my friends from OnX to BaseMap and they love it more. I use BaseMap for finding out what land I can and cannot hunt on and land that is Blm or state land. Saves a lot of guessing. I use it to find ways to rivers and steams to fish. But most of all it has supplied me with a lot of horns I couldn’t find without the app. It allowed me to locate places that I thought were private but wasn’t!!! Their satellite imagery is the best and really detailed. I’ll be using BaseMap for life!!Show lessTori and Tim

Thank you for the great review and for using BaseMap!Simply AMAZING!
For years I have been looking for a way or an app so that I could view boundary lines in real time and not just wonder where I was in relationship to them. This app solves that and so much more.
I have been searching for land for the past few years to fit the house that I’m looking to build. Not only will this app allow you to measure the distance of the boundary lines, you can also draw shapes on it to see how your home or project will fit on it.
Another handy feature is the ability to cache and save an area so that when you’re off-line you have a way to view and use.
The online videos are short and extremely helpful to get using this app in less than five minutes.
The only drawback I have found after using for a week is that some of the land ownership information is a bit out of date, sometimes as much as four years. You are not supposed to have access to this information in the basic free version however when you use the cache map you can see it, that’s how I know. Also read other reviews That mentioned the same issue. Not a huge concern for me and considering I’m using the basic, free version.
In summary, I just can’t say enough good things about this app period. What have you got to lose.....try it!Show lesswarriorsrus

Thank you for the great review and feedback. Thank you for using BaseMap. We update our parcels at least once a year and get our parcel information from the counties. Sometimes counties are not great about keeping their information up to date.Mario
First deer season with BaseMap. Used it to take us to spots previously marked, without having to leave tracking tape or other signs hanging on tree branches. Since we only hunt weekends (that pesky thing called work during the week...), we had noticed, in previous years, that someone else hunted our land / spots, obviously following our markers.
Did not happen this year. That’s a big plus. We killed the limit and had great hunts. Glad we subscribed for the pro version.Show lessHurricane Chasers
Not reliable in the field!
When it works it is nice but very slow (running on a iPhone X so not the phone, it’s the software). Frequently didn’t show public land on my last hunting trip. If you hard quit it would sometimes come back. When it did display land status it was VERY slow to load, and marking location was not effective, would try to re-store last location you marked. HuntX must use similar or same basic database, MUCH faster, and never failed to load (more expensive though, but in the end, if you are in the field it was more reliable—important hunting in the west where you can have a lot of mixed public and private land). I DO NOT recommend this for hunting in western states, just not reliable enough!Show lessCOSrunr
Perfect for anyone on the trail
I’ve used the BaseMap app for the last few months, both the free version and now the PRO version. I’ve expanded my interests in hiking and really gotten into trail running for legit fitness benefits. Not only is it helpful to find great locations near all my travels the app makes it easy to navigate unfamiliar territory and track progress and elevation changes. Truly unique in providing various background map and overlay options for just the right amount of local awareness of surroundings. I would love to see some additions for things like voice prompts and headphone control as well as plug in syncs to music all in in this one app, but that’s sort of a selfish ask. BaseMap app works great just like it is. I’d recommend it for any person venturing out into woods, parks or trails or even to find that hidden little fishing location everyone else has overlooked.Show lessgood boy243

Thank you for the review and thank you for using BaseMap!Trapping with BaseMap
I trap a large amount of mountainous country and the majority of it has no cell service. By using the offline feature that BaseMap provides I am able to add a trap marker for every set that I make. I can use various icons to identify the sign I find as well as naming each location. The peace of mind in knowing that others can use my phone to bring up my markers to find my sets should I not be able to retrieve them is huge. The pinpoint accuracy is amazing! I will never trap without it again. Thank you Jeff!Show lessk sawyer
Best app of its kind
I use this app for off road tracking gps and its the most responsive app I’ve used. There’s a small issue when moving the device around but I contacted customer support and they actually replied and said the issue would be fixed on a coming update. Great customer service.
Update: They fixed the bug report shake thing. Not only did they reply they fixed the issue. Good people you are. Thumbs upShow lessIjustwantthepayversioninstead
