## Description

US Public Lands is an offline, map-based tool displaying boundaries for U.S. public lands across federal agencies. It uses on-device, color-coded map layers for BLM, FS, NPS, DoD, and more, so you can explore without internet.

Key features include selectable layers with color-coded toggles, links to each agency's site for further research, offline base maps, GPS location, and a built-in search (internet required). Data is sourced from the PAD-US database of the U.S. Geological Survey; boundaries may vary and some areas may be unmapped.

## Review summary

The app provides a quick public-land overview and useful boondocking opportunities, with an improved overlay. However, recurring issues include inaccurate boundaries, unclear overlays, limited land details, no easy coordinate sharing or export, and uneven regional data plus occasional subscription problems.

### Pros

- Provides a quick general view of public lands for boondocking and camping.
- The land-type overlay has improved and helps differentiate land categories.
- Helpful for cross-referencing satellite imagery to locate camping spots.
- Popular with long-time users and RVers for simple, practical planning.

### Cons

- Boundary data is often inaccurate, with private land shown as public.
- Overlay visuals are hard to read due to fuzzy borders and confusing colors.
- Lacks essential land information (names, ownership, management, access) and no easy tap-to-view details.
- No easy way to copy coordinates, share locations, or sync favorites across devices.
- Data coverage varies by region and there are subscription/billing issues reported.
