Missoula’s mapping tech company onXmaps gets $267K state grant to create 36 new jobs

A mapping technology company based in Missoula is expected to create 25 new jobs here and another 16 jobs in Bozeman as a result of $267,500 in grant money awarded by Gov. Steve Bullock’s administration.

Missoula County has been awarded $187,500 in Big Sky Trust Fund http://marketmt.com/BSTF job creation funds to help OnXmaps https://www.onxmaps.com/ to expand. The money will be used for the purchase of equipment, software, furniture, lease rate reduction and reimbursement of wages. The company creates GIS/GPS software so that people (mainly hunters and hikers) can see precise public and private land boundaries on their smartphones even when they are out of cell coverage. They also make chips for GPS units.
