onX and T-Mobile Team Up for Enhanced Outdoor Experiences

In a groundbreaking partnership, onX, a leader in digital mapping solutions for outdoor adventures, has announced its collaboration with T-Mobile. This alliance aims to leverage T-Satellite technology, powered by Starlink, to provide outdoor enthusiasts with crucial weather data directly through onX's suite of applications, including onX Hunt, onX Offroad, onX Backcountry, and onX Fish.

The primary goal of this collaboration is to offer onX customers reliable access to real-time weather information even in remote locations where traditional cellular signals are unavailable. As outdoor activities often hinge on varying weather conditions, the ability to check real-time updates can significantly impact the safety and enjoyment of experiences such as hunting, hiking, fishing, and off-roading.

Andi Anderson, Principal Product Manager at onX, expressed, "For nearly two decades, outdoor enthusiasts have turned to onX to explore with confidence. Weather is a critical component of these adventures, and having real-time access can change the game for outdoor activities." The potential dangers posed by unfavorable weather conditions cannot be overstated. Rain can obscure trails, strong winds can thwart hunting efforts, and lightning can illuminate an unsafe scenario for fishing. With the new satellite connectivity, users will now be able to preserve their adventures while staying informed.

At the launch of this new feature, users of onX who possess compatible devices and T-Mobile's qualifying T-Satellite services will enjoy access to several valuable insights within their onX apps:

• - Real-time weather conditions: Receive updated weather and wind conditions for any location on the map.
• - Seven-day and hourly forecasts: Plan your adventures based on accurate weather predictions.
• - Deer Movement Forecast: An essential feature for hunters that can inform their outings based on predicted deer activity.

This launch represents a significant step in enhancing the capabilities of onX apps through satellite enablement. Future updates will further enrich this aspect of the service, promising users an even broader range of dynamic information relevant to their adventures in the field.

Beyond weather insights, onX users can continue to rely on the app’s industry-leading offline functionality, which includes:

• - Downloadable Offline Maps: Easily access maps without connectivity.
• - Compass and Orientation Tools: Navigate effectively even in challenging environments.
• - Map Markup Content: Customizable options to add waypoints, tracks, lines, areas, enhancing personal navigation experiences.
• - GPS Tracking and Route Building: An organized way to outline your journey.
• - 3D Imagery (onX Backcountry): Allowing users to view landscapes from multiple perspectives.

Anderson highlights, ``Satellite connectivity is not just for emergencies anymore; it’s shaping how we experience the outdoors. Our customers often seek to disconnect while engaging with nature. This partnership allows adventurers to immerse themselves in the environment while having essential information at their fingertips. It's about making outdoor experiences safer, more aware, and ultimately much more gratifying.``
