Off-Grid Navigation

No signal. No problem.

Tactical navigation for people who head out prepared. Maps, search and your bearings all live on your phone, so when the bars disappear you keep moving.

Tell me when it’s ready See how it works

Own the night

Red night mode. Your night vision stays yours.

One tap turns the whole map deep red. You can read the ground, check your heading and keep your eyes adjusted to the dark. No white flash, and no giving yourself away.

Walking scale

Paths and contours, close up.

Zoom right in: footpaths, bridleways and contours at walking scale.

Maps on the phone

England, already loaded. Nothing to download on the hill.

The maps for England live on your iPhone, with contours and a built-in gazetteer, so you can search for a place with no connection at all.

Drop waypoints, record tracks and keep them in folders. Bring your own routes in, or take them out, as GPX, KML or CSV.

Point. Lock. Walk.

Take a true bearing with the camera.

Raise the phone, aim at a distant landmark and tap Set bearing. The bearing locks, and you walk it. You can calibrate the compass right there in the camera view.

Waypoints and teammates appear in the view with their name, bearing and distance. Anything hidden behind a hill is marked on a stick, so you know exactly where it is.

Grid-down

When everything else is off, the essentials stay on.

Grid-down strips the screen back to what matters: your grid reference, heading, and the bearing and distance to your waypoint, with battery life in view. Bright, simple and easy on power.

The Off-Grid Grid-down screen, showing grid reference SX 6038 8189, coordinates 50.6200, -3.9750, elevation 590 metres, a heading of 118 degrees, a waypoint called Base camp 3.2 km away at 118 degrees, and battery at 64 percent

Team Radar

Know where your team is.

Set up a private team and share a code. Everyone shows on the map and in the camera view with bearing and distance, updating every 15 seconds while the app is open.

Team Radar is the only part that needs data. Everything else works with no signal at all.
