onX Hunt

There's nothing more frustrating than being out hunting in new terrain, looking down at your phone for a map, and getting nothing because you are out of cell range. One solution comes from onX, an app made for exploring. Before you go, you can create maps with the features you want, like wilderness areas, access points and satellite imagery, and then save the map to your phone. The app uses the GPS in your phone and then pinpoints your position over your saved map. It tracks you, no cell reception required, and lets you check out the area via topo maps, satellite imagery or any of the other 12 types of map layers you have downloaded. The app is free, but you'll want to add features. The Elite subscription will get you access to maps of all 50 states.

Money well-spent, we might say. For less than 10 bucks, you get expert hunting and fishing information for your state — from where the biggest bucks hang out to how to catch a lunker. That’s less than a convenience-store coffee per issue. Go two years and save more.
