Why am I told my email is already taken?

If you’re told that the email you’re trying to use has already been taken, it means the email has been previously used to create an onX account. Email our support team at help@onxmaps.com for additional help.

  1. Go to Manage AccountPassword.
  2. Enter your new password in the provided field. Passwords must meet the minimum security requirement of at least 8 characters.

Subscription Management

How do I cancel my subscription?

From your phone:

  1. Open your onX App and tap the Main Menu in the upper left corner.
  2. Tap My AccountManage Subscriptions.

From your computer:

  1. Open a browser and navigate to www.onXmaps.com.
  2. Click Open Map or Log In and select the correct product.
  3. Sign in with your email and password if prompted.
  4. Click My Account & Settings in the lower left corner.
  5. Click My Account, locate your onX Membership, and select Manage.

Important: Deleting your onX account does not automatically cancel your subscription. Please cancel billing separately to avoid future charges.

How do I upgrade or change my subscription plan?

To upgrade or downgrade, open your onX App or log into your account on www.onXmaps.com, navigate to the Main Menu, and select My AccountManage Subscriptions.

If you’d like to select a lower-level onX Membership, choose Downgrade. At the end of your current membership term, you’ll renew for the membership you selected.

 The process and behavior for upgrades varies by billing channel:

  • onXmaps.com: Select the membership you’d like and provide your onX account email at checkout. Your purchase will be automatically prorated based on the time remaining in your current membership — your renewal date won’t change. You’ll be charged for the remaining time at the new rate, minus any prorated credit for what you’ve already paid.
  • Apple App Store (iOS devices): Select your desired plan and confirm the purchase. You’ll be charged the full price of the new plan and a new membership term will begin. Apple will issue a prorated refund for the unused time remaining on your previous plan within 10 business days.
  • Google Play Store (Android devices): Select your desired plan and confirm the purchase. You won’t be charged immediately — Google applies a prorated credit from the unused time on your previous plan toward the new one, and your renewal date shifts based on the value of that credit. Once the credit runs out, you’ll be charged the full price for a new membership term.

For additional help, email our support team via help@onxmaps.com.

How do I update my payment method or billing information?

Payment methods are managed through the platform where you subscribed:

  • Apple App Store: Update your payment info in your Apple ID settings.
  • Google Play Store: Update your payment info in your Google Play Store account settings.
  • onXmaps.com: Open a web browser, navigate to www.onXmaps.com, and follow these steps:
    1. Click Open Map or Log In and select the correct product.
    2. Sign in with your email and password if prompted.
    3. Click My Account & Settings in the lower left corner.
    4. Click My AccountUpdate Payment Method.

onX does not store your full payment details directly — billing is handled by the platform.

What happens to my data and maps if I cancel?
If you cancel your subscription, you’ll retain access until the end of your current billing period. After that, paid features will no longer be accessible. However, your account data and any free-tier features will remain intact. If you resubscribe, your saved data and settings will be restored.
Can I get a refund on my subscription?

Refund eligibility depends on where you purchased:

  • Apple App Store: Refund requests are handled directly by Apple. Visit Apple’s refund request page for instructions.
  • Google Play Store: Refund requests are handled directly by Google. Visit Google’s refund request page for instructions.
  • onXmaps.com direct purchase: Purchases made within the last 30 days are eligible for a 100% refund. Please email help@onxmaps.com to initiate your request or discuss your situation.
How do I switch the platform I’m billed through?

If you’d like to move your billing from one platform to another (for example, from Apple to directly through onXmaps.com), the only way to do so is to:

  1. Cancel your current membership through the platform you’re currently billed through.
  2. Allow your membership to expire at the end of your current billing period.
  3. Repurchase through your preferred platform once your membership has expired.

Your data is safe. No saved content — including offline maps, waypoints, or other markups — will be lost when your membership expires. Everything will be right where you left it once you renew. You’ll also be prompted to renew when your membership expires, making it easy to pick back up on your preferred billing platform.

Delete Account

How do I delete my onX account?

Important: Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription. Cancel billing separately — through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or onXmaps.com — to stop future charges before deleting your account.

To delete your account, open your onX App while signed into your account.

  1. Navigate to the Main Menu and select My Account.
  2. Tap Delete Account.
  3. Review all confirmation items:
    • All personal data — waypoints, photos, saved tracks, and offline maps — will be deleted.
    • Access to all onX Apps linked to this account will be removed.
    • Account deletion takes up to 30 days to complete.
  4. Type DELETE in the confirmation box.
  5. Tap the Delete button.

You have 30 days to restore your account — after that, all data will be permanently and irreversibly deleted.

Will deleting my account cancel my subscription?
No. Deleting your onX account will not cancel your subscription or stop billing.

You must cancel your subscription separately through the platform where you purchased it (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or onXmaps.com) before deleting your account.

Can I recover a deleted account?
You have a 30-day window to restore your account after initiating deletion. During that time, you can contact help@onxmaps.com to reverse the process.

After 30 days, all data is permanently and irreversibly deleted. If you’re unsure, consider simply logging out or canceling your subscription rather than deleting your account.
What data is deleted when I close my account?
When you confirm deletion, your account is deactivated and enters a 30-day grace period. During this time you’ll lose access to all onX Apps, but your data is not yet permanently removed. After 30 days, all personal data — including waypoints, photos, saved tracks, offline maps, and login credentials — is permanently deleted.

For details on data retention and your privacy rights, please review the onX Privacy Policy.
