Why We Use the onX Offroad App while Location Scouting for our Outdoor Productions
Hey there, fellow adventure enthusiasts CREATIVES! We're back to share some more behind the scenes of our pre-production process. we're delving into one of our most essential pre-production steps: location scouting. More specifically, we'll be talking about the fantastic tool we rely on for this process – the onX Offroad App and its incredible onX Offroad maps.
In the world of outdoor productions, location scouting is like finding the perfect gem in a vast wilderness. We want to ensure that the locations we choose are not only visually stunning, but also practical for our shoots. This is where the onX Offroad App comes into play.

Discovering the Perfect Spots with onX Offroad
onX Offroad is more than just your average mapping app. It's an invaluable tool that empowers us to explore new territories, discover hidden gems, and plan out every detail of our outdoor shoots with confidence. WE ARE CONSTANTLY DROPPING PINS AND SAVING LOCATIONS IN THE APP TO SAVE FOR FUTURE PROJECTS AND SHOOT IDEAS.
What's the onX Offroad App?
The onX Offroad App offers detailed off-road maps, making it perfect for finding those hard-to-reach, LOW-TRAFFIC spots. These maps go well beyond traditional road maps and dive deep into the wild, providing comprehensive information about trails, landownership (HUGE ONE FOR US), property lines, and more.
Property Line Maps at Your Fingertips
One of the standout features of onX Offroad is its property line maps. When scouting for locations, we often need to understand land boundaries, especially when we're working with private property or exploring public lands. The app's property line maps allow us to clearly identify who owns what, ensuring we're always on the right side of the law during our shoots. THIS IS ALSO SUPER HELPFUL IN KNOWING WHO TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ABOUT SUBMITTING FILM PERMITS.

Streamlining Our Pre-Production Process
Location scouting is a critical step in the pre-production process, and onX Offroad significantly streamlines this stage. By having access to detailed maps, we can effectively plan our route to the location, assess terrain and elevation, and even mark specific points of interest. This is a game-changer when we're dealing with rugged and remote areas.
