Since these goals were set, the Access team has funded a number of land access projects and completed an extensive map-based analysis of the nation’s “landlocked” lands. Providing funding to improve public access in specific locations.Analyzing mapping data to provide numbers that support a national call for public land funding.Working directly with land management officials to keep public land public.In December 2017, the onX Access Team created a vision to address access in three main ways: The experience led to the development of onX’s Access team. He envisioned onX buying the parcel to hold onto public access, but rather quickly, the property was under contract, and access was lost. This part of the vision was born in 2016 when he noticed a property for sale that had historically been an access point for recreational use. Since then, Siegfried has continued to invest in helping others have their best outdoor experiences, most notably by spearheading onX’s Access Initiatives. With the introduction of the Hunt App in 2013, onX changed the industry by providing hunters around the country with comprehensive digital maps. This was indeed groundbreaking, as it established onX as the first land data company of its kind. His extensive work led first to the original onX Chip.

Siegfried had a vision for how accurate location data with plug-and-play simplicity could support hunters and explorers. The initial goal was to help hunters efficiently see public land boundaries while in the field. It’s been twelve years now, but back in 2009, Eric Siegfried developed onX as a groundbreaking hunting project. In fact, this is actually the third app in onX’s suite, alongside onX Hunt and onX Offroad. Although onX Backcountry is a brand new app, onX themselves have actually been around for a while now.
