Here & Back is a simple GPS compass navigation app that helps guide you back to a saved location. Designed for hiking, boating, travel, parking, events, and outdoor exploration, it provides clear directional guidance with or without cellular service.

If you want a lightweight alternative to complex maps and turn-by-turn navigation, Here & Back focuses on direction and distance instead of roads and routes. It uses your phone’s built-in GPS and motion sensors to show a color-changing directional arrow that always points you back to your saved point.

Green means you’re moving closer.
Red means you’re moving away.

Drop a pin, explore freely, and let the app guide you back when you’re ready.

Simple GPS navigation without maps

Here & Back is not a traditional maps app. It is a GPS compass tool designed to help you return to where you started—without clutter, accounts, or setup.

Key navigation features include:

GPS compass arrow pointing back to your saved location

Live distance updates as you move

Visual guidance that works even when maps are unavailable

Offline navigation support after a location is set

No accounts. No ads cluttering the screen. No complicated controls.

Works offline — no SIM required

Once a location is saved, Here & Back can continue guiding you without mobile data or cellular service. After downloading over Wi-Fi, it can even be used on devices without an active SIM card.

This makes it useful for:

Hiking trails and remote outdoor areas

Boating, kayaking, and waterfront navigation

Large parking lots, festivals, and stadiums

Travel in unfamiliar places

Situations where cell service is unreliable

Navigation accuracy depends on your device’s sensors and environment.

Free to use with optional premium features

The core GPS compass navigation experience is free.
Optional premium features are available as a one-time lifetime upgrade—no subscriptions.

Designed for real-world navigation

Here & Back is designed to guide you toward your destination, not to provide turn-by-turn driving directions. It is ideal for short-range navigation where direction awareness matters more than maps.

Sensor accuracy can vary based on device hardware, surroundings, and movement.

Clean, focused, reliable

Whether you’re exploring the outdoors or just want peace of mind knowing you can find your way back, Here & Back keeps navigation simple, calm, and dependable.
