Import a GeoPDF, a scanned topographic map, or even a photo of a paper map, georeference it in the app, and navigate on it fully offline with your live position.

RECORDING
• High-precision GPS recording with accurate elevation (barometer-assisted on supported devices)
• Points of Interest (POIs) with categories, colors, photos, addresses, and notes
• Add POIs manually using lon/lat or UTM coordinates
• Attach photos to your tracks and POIs
• Live map with scale bar, compass, and coordinates
• Live stats in the notification while recording

YOUR OWN MAPS, OFFLINE (our specialty)
• Import georeferenced GeoPDF and PDF maps — they align automatically
• Take a photo of a paper hiking map and georeference it in-app with control points
• Alignment accuracy shown in meters (RMS)
• National-park handouts, alpine club sheets, historic maps — all become live offline maps
• Unlimited maps, free

TRACK NAVIGATION & GHOSTRIDER
• Follow any saved or imported track: distance to the track, distance remaining, and turn cues
• Off-track alerts with sound and vibration — alert radius adjustable per track
• Ghostrider: race your own earlier recording and see live whether you are ahead or behind
• Project a POI by azimuth and distance from where you stand, then navigate to it with a live bearing

IMPORT & EXPORT — NO LOCK-IN
• Import tracks and POIs from GPX, GeoJSON, or bundles
• GPX from Strava, Garmin, Komoot, Outdooractive, bergfex or Wikiloc imports directly
• Export tracks and POIs as GPX, GeoJSON, or bundles with photos and metadata
• Heart rate travels in your GPX files (Garmin format, read by Strava, Komoot & more)
• Open locations in Google Maps
• Share via any app on your phone

YOUR LIBRARY
• Folders for tracks, points of interest, and custom maps
• Elevation, speed, pace, and heart-rate charts for every track
• Recently Deleted with 30-day recovery

SYNC & BACKUP

ROUTE PLANNING (Pro subscription)

FREE CORE, NO ACCOUNT
• The core — offline GPS recording, unlimited custom maps, GPX import/export, POIs, Synology sync — is free, with no account to create
• No ads, no third-party tracking
• Your data stays on your device and in your own sync targets — never on our servers
• Works fully offline: in the mountains, at sea, off the grid

FIELD WORK & SURVEY

• Walk a plot, parcel or block and keep the recorded outline
• Mark stands, samples and corners as POIs with photos, notes and coordinates
• Give a whole crew the same georeferenced map — maps and POIs export as files
