Use Markups to save important spots, plan your route, measure distances, or trace your steps in the field.
You can Edit, Share, Delete, or Export any Markups you save in onX Fish in the My Content menu from your mobile device or computer.
Waypoints
Mark specific spots—exactly where you need them.
Save a waypoint anywhere by clicking or tapping on your map and selecting Add Waypoint at the bottom of the info card.
You can also access the Add Waypoint and Mark my Location features from the Tools menu.
- Add Waypoint: drop a waypoint at the center of your screen. Turn the crosshair indicator on in the Settings menu to fine-tune your placement.
- Mark Location: immediately drop and saves a Waypoint at your current location.
💡 Tip: choose a custom symbol and color before saving to group Markups by trip, season, species, etc.
Tracker
Record your path in real time.
- Tap Tracker from the bottom toolbar and hit Start.
The App will draw your path as you move. While you're recording, don't close the App (minimizing it is fine). Tap Pause if you want to stop recording temporarily.
Save it for future reference.
- Tap Stop > Save.
If Save is unavailable, you haven't moved far enough to record a distance.
💡 Tip: if you delete a Track without saving it, it's permanently deleted and can't be restored.
Routes
Plan your path before you go.
Create a Route by tapping the Tools icon and selecting Build Route.
- Add points that snap to roads and trails with Snap To selected.
- Switch to Point Draw if you have issues with the route "snapping" to a given road or trail.
💡 Tip: to follow a Route, tap the location button in the App twice to view a directional indicator; the map will rotate with you as you move, and you'll be able to see where you're facing relative to the route and surrounding area.
Lines and Area Shapes
Measure a distance or area.
- Select Line or Area Shape from the Tools menu.
- Tap on the map to drop points, or use "Drop Point" to precisely place a waypoint with a crosshair indicator.
Lines
Drop two or more points to measure the distance between them. Distance is calculated point-to-point ("as the crow flies") and displayed in yards/miles or meters/kilometers.
💡 Tip: With Two Finger Distance Measure enabled in the Settings menu, hold two fingers on the map to quickly measure distances between points.
Area Shapes
Drop at least three points to measure an area in square miles or square kilometers.
💡 Tip: choose between Imperial or Metric units of measurement in the Settings Menu.
