Leave a Review GOHUNT / Hunt Research & Maps
Best Mapping Software in The Business
The maps are on point with the information they provided. All features have worked flawlessly for me both with cell service and offline. Color options help as well to distinguish different types of data and their insider membership is hands down the best. Only thing I would wish for is to add the names to campgrounds available but that is just me. Lol. Love goHunt and will continue to spread the word about their products and tools.Show lessSpeedofSound04
Ok - Needs Some Work to be Functional
The mapping works ok but lacks functionality and needs some fine tuning to be useful in the field.
- when marking locations or adding photos, make sure to pay attention to the small cross hairs. If you just hit the GPS button to center on where you’re standing the cross hairs don’t automatically default there as well. I’m now having to move lots of saved marked locations around because I assumed it would mark where I was standing. It doesn’t. Need to fix this.
- kind of clunky to add photos. Not clear that they all save and there are a few different layers of folders to navigate to save correctly and into the correct “hunt” folder. Details are good but too many steps in the field. I ended up frustrated trying to squint in my screen in the field navigating all of these.
- topo with sat photo overlay is set on 200’ topo lines. Personally this is useless because 200’ lines is WAY too broad. No way to adjust these.
- buried in their disclosures but 3D maps not available offline
handful of other quirks but overall it’s a good concept but needs some honest feedback and fine tuning.
Maybe version 2.0 will be better.Show lessdenon27613
Coming along
Lots of good “new” features. Time will hopefully make it flow as well as the others. It has a good chance at being a top phone map for sure.mhoff_07
So far awesome
Just started using GOHUNT a few weeks ago, been a OnX guy for years. Thought OnX was the best out there, and don’t get wrong “it’s GREAT” but GOHUNT seems to me at least may just edge it out. So far the desk top version out sines OnX, better features and usability and I feel it has better readability of the maps. I will always use OnX Off-road for my road navigation but I think GOHUNT will be my hunting app. Heading out scouting tomorrow for the weekend and this be will be the Test.Show lessPortugee68
Good not great
Has plenty of handy tools. And some of the kinks will work themselves out with more use. But I wish you could edit your tracks when I forget to “stop” at the end of my trail. I also wish there was a fast easy way for cross compatibility with other map apps like onX, base map, etcripkobejordan

So far go hunt has made the easiest most user friendly mapping app I have found love the new terrain analysis thanks

My new favorite app
Love this app, it’s my go-to for everything e-scouting and using in the field on my hunts! Plus the 3D is AWESOME.Danielle Gornick
Works only in online mode
I have had the app for a couple of years now and recently tried to us it on spring bear hunt in Idaho. Layers don’t work well in the offline mode (even though I downloaded them). Roads and trails disappear or don’t show up. The ‘transparency’ setting I set goes back to 100% solid colors on all layers as soon as I open the app. 3D mode doesn’t work and I only get two choices of map types, not 3 as you can have in the online mode. Lastly, it was so grainy when zooming in that was practically useless. I called guhunt trying to see if I was doing something wrong but they never returned my call. Really wish this actually worked.Show lessMacDennis

Hey hows it going, sorry that you experienced some difficulties with the maps on your hunt! We would absolutely love to chat with you and see the issues you're having and resolve them. If you would email me at bransen@gohunt.com that would be great, we look forward to hearing from you and fix this.Awesome features, performance slightly lacking during research binges
I like the platform, the desktop is clearly the better performer and I love how all the filters are available. On the mobile app it was expected to be less efficient but when I’m in the field I have to be very wary not to go into a full research binge.
I have a new phone so I wouldn’t think the app would be so demanding on processing power but I’m limited by overheating, battery drain, and the odd crash or 2 within minutes of e-scouting. I’ll reduce the noise with disabling some filters but I’m on a time limit as soon as I start really digging in mostly from phone temperatures, especially in 3D mode.
As I said, it’s a fantastic platform tool and I should be more diligent doing the bulk of my E-scouting on a computer and using the mobile app to verify my funny theories in the field.
I still don’t use GoHunt Maps for tracking for the sole reason that it is prone to crashes and killing my battery even when using offline mode, if there was an option for a ‘low demand’ mode I would absolutely utilize the app moreShow lessProdigy1014

I have used a few others but the interface and feature of GOHUNT’s map app is much better than the rest IMO.
Terrain analysis feature is key is e-scouting. I am spend much less time looking for sign.couse chaser
