This is a bit of a confession. When goHUNT told me they were going to release 3D maps, my response was more of "meh" than it was super excitement. I had always felt comfortable with my ability to look at topo lines in 2D and if I felt I needed comfort, I would log into GE and confirm from that. I just didn't see where 3D would be that big of an improvement.
Now that I have had 3D maps with layers, I have to admit my level of enthusiasm has changed. Over the last two months I have been giving my "wish list" to goHUNT for tools I need when E-scouting on my desktop maps. They have been creating some of those for me to test and they are adding them to the 3D desktop maps.
The end idea of my E-scouting project with them is that every tool I need for E-scouting will be right there on the desktop maps. I don't E-scout from my phone, so I am focused on having these available for my desktop application.
This video has a few of the tools we have come up with since we started this in June. Many more E-scouting tools are on the list, though right now goHUNT is focused on getting the mobile app perfected. As those additional tools are added, I will do videos about them.
Here is a video with a few E-scouting tips I am using for my Colorado 1st Rifle Elk season and demonstration of how some of these E-scouting tools are designed with what an elk hunter needs to build the best possible E-scouting plan. Excited to work with them on a very robust suite of tools that make this task far easier than when I did my first E-scouting seminar in 2013 where the tools available were screenshots of GE and Microsoft Paint.
I might reprimand the editor who came up with that stupid looking thumbnail. All I need is some coke bottle glasses and I could be a stand in as Bubbles on the Trail Park Boys.
