Where Does onX Hunt Store Maps and Waypoints?
Where onX Hunt keeps maps and waypoints on Android and iPhone, and how offline maps work. See the folder table below.
Last updated
onX pairs cloud waypoints with device tiles. Your login holds pins, tracks, and land layers. The phone holds downloaded map regions privately for backcountry use. Membership unlocks premium layers.
Tiles without waypoints look empty and vice versa. For moves, sign in restores points while regions need fresh downloads. Export critical waypoints as GPX for paper backup on remote hunts. Expired memberships hide landowner layers even with old tiles still cached from before. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.

Waypoints follow your onX account. Map tiles download privately per area. Verify in offline maps before leaving coverage. Tiles and points sync separately.
On My iPhone/onX Hunt (tiles cache, points in cloud)
Points live in the onX container plus cloud. Sign in to restore pins, then redownload regions over WiFi. Export GPX for critical waypoints.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move onX Hunt maps to a new phone?
Sign in on the new phone and waypoints, tracks, and pins return from the account. Offline map tiles stay behind in private storage. Reopen saved maps and download units over WiFi. Verify before leaving coverage without signal.
Does onX work without signal?
Yes for areas you downloaded. They live in private storage with documents. Exact folder names vary by map source and state. Use the offline maps manager to confirm sizes. Waypoints sync separately from tiles, so a synced pin can show over an empty basemap.
