  • Worth the money.

    Just remember, camp real close to the highway,much safer.
  • A tad more useful

    I am upping my review to 2 stars mainly due to fact that if you are in the boonies, at least you would click the 'basic' map and 'locate' and you may know if you are trespassing or not.

    The good:
    - it keeps you 'legal' as much as possible; if in doubt, better backtrack thou
    - low cost for doing above

    Still bad:
    - I think it uses Apple maps which is inferior to Google in showing all the tiny roads (off roads - even though I found many Google tiny roads that were gone when checking them on location but still showing on maps - not this app problem to fix).
    - you need to download google offline maps, then toggle between this app and google maps to navigate the maze of off roads when off grid
    - still misses large areas that are accessible to public but again, not big deal since there are so many public lands in western states

    Ideally when in the boonies and no coverage, satellite view is critical if you want to change locations if one proves inaccessible. Being able to download ahead of time the sat view and terrain view from google then lay over the ownership map, would make this app worth a lot. I would pay easily 50$ for one stop shop. Other apps that do that are pricey and require subscription etc.

    Again, great idea, I hope the developers improve it.

  • Lacking major areas

    Initially I had some I hopes for this app, but after a few minutes of looking, I'm not too impressed. For example, it has large areas of state forest land in the Oregon coast range shown correctly, but then north of Highway 26, where there are thousands of acres of continuous forest land, none of it is shown. Also, there are no Indian reservation boundaries, which should be easy to add onto the app and would be very helpful to have visible.
    I much prefer a Gaia GPS with a pro subscription, which has a Public Lands overlay that is much more comprehensive.

  • Not useful

    This should be a free app-- many gps apps have this same info combined with more helpful features.
  • Great app.

    Seems most of the folks writing negative reviews did not read the limitations of the app. If you know what you are buying, I think you will find this is an awesome app. It's not going to find a 100 acre parcel and says that up front. A square mile is 640 acres which is the stated accuracy.
  • Not very accurate

    The BLM parcels are not very accurate when compared to a actual map from the BLM. Small BLM parcels are missing. BLM parcels and private lands within the boundaries of CA State Parks are not shown.
  • Great for finding public lands

    This is a great app for finding public lands but isn't quite as accurate as high dollar apps like Hunt. It's a great quick reference and is super helpful when roaming around the country looking for little pockets to boondock.
  • Awesome

    When was the last time you bought a paper map from the BLM office? And then how long did you use it? This app is SO much better and allows you to see where you are on the maps combined with satellite images. Thanks for building great tools.
  • Great app!

    Great App, does what it says it does. Very helpful. Would love to be able to "drop a pin" or similar, and get gps coordinates.
  • Great!!!

    Just told me i spent night on someone's private land! Whoops...
