### 1/5 — sneaky & underhanded updates

*2026-08-19, version 7.0.4*

you used to be able to download 1 offline map at a time with a free account, but after i opened basemap recently it wouldn't let me redownload my offline map. when i tried, a little button popped up that said "update map: your offline map requires a small update to keep it accurate!"
when i clicked that button, the map was instantly deleted, and it will not let me redownload it without a paying account.

i have no problems with apps costing money, but marketing it as if there is a free option and then doing sneaky rollbacks like that undermines all integrity and trust.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-11, version 7.0.3*

I love using the app.  Have several apps of this nature. Unfortunately I don’t pay for the pro because I use other maps as well. Maybe I will. We will see.

### 5/5 — For real estate too!

*2026-08-04, version 7.0.3*

Used it when shopping for my new home with a small amount of land - highly effective.

### 5/5 — Outdoors men

*2026-08-04, version 7.0.3*

App is great  use it for everything weather wind propertie lines

### 4/5 — Driving Directions

*2026-08-03, version 7.0.3*

I honestly prefer BaseMap out in the field but the lack of driving directions moved me to use Onyx. Did you by chance put driving directions to waypoints in the update?

### 5/5 — Lots of features. Great for being in the outdoors!

*2026-08-03, version 7.0.3*

I’ve been using BaseMap for several years, for hunting and scouting for elk season and for planning and tracking my hikes. 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. I like that the markers have been updated with a lot of different icons and colors that help me keep things organized at a glance. The offline maps download quick and have always performed well when not in service. The BaseMap interface is easier to use than other apps as well. Features are easy to find and use.

### 5/5 — Best leaf off imagery

*2026-08-03, version 7.0.3*

BaseMap is solid and has the best leaf off imagery of my hunting region.

### 2/5 — Offline markers fail miserably

*2026-07-22, version 7.0.2*

I made several markers on my laptop and tested them on the phone before heading out into the back country.  Long story short, they didn’t show up when I got out there and I had to call via satellite phone for help.  I asked for a refund and they never processed it.  Now a year later they charged me again for a subscription and refused to refund it but cancelled me anyway.  Just use On X.

### 1/5 — Layers Tab

*2026-07-16, version 7.0.2*

The layers tab is in one of the worst spots possible on the screen causing me to inadvertently hit it when Im maneuvering on the screen.

### 5/5 — Spartacus

*2026-07-08, version 7.0.2*

I absolutely love this version 7 update!   The 3-D maps are super cool.   

I also really like speed improvements, particularly of the offline maps
