Trimble Hunt pro App

Postby michiganelkfever » 04 01, 2015 •  [Post 1]

Anybody else think this trimble hunt pro app is awesome!? I used it last year and its tracking features and public land featyres are great. It allows u to download offline maps obviously. I have nothing to gain for plugging it, i just really liked it and wondered if anyone else was using it or had thoughts...maybe even other app that you like better and why? Im only on 2nd year of elk hunting, and its all i think about...im a changed man! Lol

Can you save aerial photo overlays and use them offline?

Yeah I used it a few years back and it was pretty good. I prefer BCN, but Trimble was a close second. The thing that bothered me was the annual fee. But maybe that has changed. Also, I don't like that they use color shading for the public land overlays. This really screws up a shaded relief map. It also covers up the land cover shading. BCN uses colored boundary lines to avoid this problem. Colored overlays don't work well with aerials, either.
What I REALLY liked about Trimble was the ability to go online on the PC, import or create routes, and sync them to my phone.
What I like about BCN is the ability to create custom maps and all the export/import features. It also is very stable. Downside is that it's not too intuitive and has a learning curve. And no PC sync sucks.
Wait, are we even talking Android here? If it's iPhone version, then disregard all my comments 'cause I have no idea :)
