ProAI Heatmaps
The AI Heatmap layer overlays a probability gradient on your hunting map showing where game is most likely to be active. Higher-probability zones stand out visually from lower-probability zones at a glance. The heatmap regenerates when you refresh the map view; the exact inputs behind the model are proprietary. AI Heatmaps are a Pro feature.
AI Heatmaps require a Pro subscription and a live data connection to generate.
What Drives the Heatmap
The heatmap is not a static overlay — it regenerates when you refresh the map view. The exact model inputs are proprietary. As general hunting knowledge (independent of the app), terrain features like saddles, benches, funnels, and ridgelines tend to channel animal movement, and game activity naturally shifts through the day.
Reading the Heatmap
- High-probability zones — your top stand candidate areas.
- Moderate-probability zones — secondary stand options worth considering if your first choices are already covered.
- Low-probability zones — areas the model rates as less likely to hold active game.
Refresh the map shortly before leaving for the field so you are looking at the latest heatmap. A heatmap requires a live data connection to generate.
Using Heatmaps with HuntCast
The heatmap answers where; HuntCast answers when. Use them together:
Open the heatmap
Enable the AI Heatmap layer and identify your top 2-3 high-probability zones on the map.
Check HuntCast
Review the HuntCast score for your hunt window to confirm conditions are worth the sit.
Choose the highest combined score
The stand with the best combination of spatial probability (heatmap) and temporal probability (HuntCast) is your optimal setup for that session.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How should I use the heatmap?
- Treat it as a probability guide, not a guarantee. Use high-probability zones to shortlist 2-3 candidate stand areas, then confirm your choice with the scent cone and HuntCast score for the session.
- How often does the heatmap update?
- The heatmap regenerates whenever you load or refresh the map view. Refresh shortly before leaving for the field.
- Does the heatmap work offline?
- No. Generating the heatmap requires a live data connection. Take a screenshot of the current heatmap before entering an area without coverage.
- Is the AI Heatmap available on the free tier?
- No. AI Heatmaps are a Pro feature. Pro costs $12.99/month or $79.99/year, and every new account gets a 7-day full Pro trial.
