onXmaps
onXmaps develops mobile mapping and GPS navigation apps for hunters, off-roaders, backcountry users and anglers, including public land boundary mapping, from Missoula, Montana.
onXmaps builds digital mapping and navigation mobile applications for outdoor recreation, with particular emphasis on public land boundary data. Founded in 2009 and based in Missoula, Montana, the company serves users across the United States, with millions of outdoor adventurers using its apps. Its technical work spans geospatial and GIS data, GPS navigation, mobile application development, and the integration of contextual data and guidebook content into field-ready products.
The company's product line consists of purpose-built applications organised by activity: onX Hunt for hunters, who use it to navigate and to see public land boundaries in the field; onX Offroad for off-road navigation and exploration; onX Backcountry for backcountry travel; and onX Fish for fishing. Each app is designed around the specific navigation and information needs of its users rather than as a general-purpose mapping tool.
onXmaps describes itself as mission-driven, with the stated aim of awakening "the adventurer inside everyone". It was founded by Eric Siegfried, a hunter with a background in the outdoors. The company invests in land access initiatives and partners with nonprofit and land management organisations to improve or secure access to public lands, on the premise that experience of the outdoors encourages its protection. Its stated commitments include stewardship of outdoor recreation opportunities for future generations.
Industry verticals served include hunting, off-road and overlanding, backcountry and snowsports, fishing, and land management and conservation.
