FAQ
Common questions about switching.
- Will I lose any waypoints during transfer?
- No. Every waypoint, track, and folder transfers exactly as exported. The importer auto-detects duplicates so you never end up with copies.
- What about photos attached to waypoints?
- That's an onX limitation — their GPX exports don't include attached photos. You'll need to re-attach them in Baseline Maps after import. Everything else (names, locations, notes) comes across untouched.
- Do I need a computer to switch?
- Nope. The entire migration can happen on your phone — export from onX, open the file in Baseline Maps, import. The desktop route is just easier if you are moving hundreds of waypoints at once.
- Does Baseline Maps work offline?
- Yes. Download maps and topo tiles before heading out. Baseline Maps is built for dead zones and optimized for battery life in the backcountry.
- What states does the hunting mode cover?
- Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and California — 11 Western states, 1,300+ hunting units. Full regulations and seasons are live for Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Coverage keeps expanding based on member requests.
- Can I import from other apps too?
- Yes. Any app that exports a standard GPX file works — Gaia GPS, CalTopo, Avenza, Garmin BaseCamp, and more. If your app offers KML or KMZ, just choose the GPX export option instead.
- Do I have to cancel onX first?
- No. Run both apps side by side as long as you want. Most members try Baseline Maps for a season before cancelling onX — start the free trial, move your data, hunt with both.
