Leica Sport Optics USA and onX Hunt today announced a new partnership and product integration that connects Leica’s premium sport optics with onX’s industry-leading digital mapping platform. The integration allows users to send a precise location from supported Leica devices directly to onX Hunt to “drop a waypoint” and save critical waypoints, streamlining navigation, planning, and game recovery in the field.

This collaboration advances Leica’s open ecosystem strategy: building powerful, user-first software connections around best-in-class hardware. onX Hunt, recognized as the category leader in digital hunting maps, was a priority partner in that ecosystem.

Leica’s North American customers who purchase participating devices receive the integration benefits at no extra charge. Existing owners of compatible Applied Ballistics (AB)–linked Leica products will automatically gain access via firmware/app updates, ensuring a simple, zero-friction setup.

“With onX’s waypoint drop integrated into Leica’s open ecosystem, hunters can seamlessly transition from planning to precision in the field,” comments Ryan Holm, Marketing Director, Leica Sport Optics. “Integrating onX within Leica’s open ecosystem enhances the precision and interoperability hunters depend on. By connecting industry-leading mapping data with our advanced rangefinding and ballistic technology, we’re enabling a truly unified field experience—where every decision is informed, efficient, and accurate.”

Adam Foss, Leica Sport Optics USA Brand Ambassador, spoke about the integration’s value for hunters navigating demanding terrain: “In mountain hunting — and sheep hunting especially — it often feels as much like a navigation project as a hunt. The country’s so big and complex that knowing exactly where you are can make all the difference. Pairing Leica’s pinpoint rangefinding with onX lets you drop a landmark with confidence and move through that terrain with a new level of clarity, safety, and peace of mind. It’s pretty amazing to see technology come together to make mountain time that much more dialled, letting you focus on the hunt, not the guesswork.”

“With onX’s waypoint marking seamlessly integrated into Leica’s ecosystem, hunters gain the ability to make quick, precise decisions when it matters most. Little efficiencies in the field can make or break an entire hunt, or even a season. Having tools like remote waypoint dropping is worth its weight in gold—especially when you’re trying to pinpoint exactly where that buck or bull was standing when you took the shot, or when you’re navigating to a specific spot across a canyon as darkness starts to set in. Once you use this feature in the field, you won’t go without it.” Dylan Dowson, Marketing, onX Hunt.

The Leica–onX Hunt integration allows hunters to drop a waypoint in onX Hunt directly from their Leica device via the LeicaHunt2 App, ensuring precise location tracking for planning, navigation, and recovery. Pins can be saved, revisited, and synced across devices within the onX Hunt app.

The integration will roll out to compatible Leica devices from today. Customers will receive notifications through the Leica app and product support channels as updates become available.

Introductory benefit: Through this partnership, hunters who purchase a connected Leica device will gain access to a free six-month onX Hunt Elite subscription.
