## What is Adventure Guide Navigator?

The Adventure Guide Navigator app contains the largest collection of over 1,000 adventure routes and 4X4 tracks in the South Island – from scenic tarmac roads through to challenging grade 5 tracks. And that’s not all, it also has all the best vehicle accessible campsites, remote huts, fuel stations, and points of interest.  


TRUE OFFLINE NAVIGATION
The Adventure Guide Navigator App comes preloaded with everything, ready to go. This includes an offline topographic map, plus all the routes, campsites, remote huts, fuel stations, and points of interest.

This is a true offline navigation app, allowing you to navigate anywhere in the South Island without an internet connection.



DESIGNED FOR VEHICLE NAVIGATION
The app has been specifically designed for vehicle navigation. It features large zoom-in and zoom-out buttons, plus the simplicity of one touch navigation.


GENUINE, TRUSTED RESOURCE
Adventure Guide Founder Josh Martin, has ridden over 350,000 km on various adventure bikes while exploring the South Island, and personally logging, photographing, grading, and documenting every route, campsite, hut and point of interest.

You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who has travelled the South Island as extensively as Josh.


All of this firsthand-gathered information is loaded to Adventure Guide, and is the reason why it has gained the reputation as the most trusted adventure resource over the past 15 years.

The Adventure Guide Navigator App bundles all this information together in the convenience of an offline device, that you can use for navigating to the South Island’s most magical and remote routes, and destinations.



MILD TO WILD
Josh is a skilled rider, which allows him to log ALL the best tracks from scenic tarmac roads, to wildly challenging grade 5+ tracks. This means Adventure Guide has everything an adventurer could ask for, whether you are looking for a scenic style adventure, or looking to challenge yourself on a grade 4 or 5 track that leads to a destination that very few people ever reach.


SOMETHING FOR EVERY ADVENTURER
While the Adventure Guide Navigator App is perfectly suited to Adventure Riders, 4X4 Drivers and Overlanders, it is also an invaluable exploration tool for Anglers, Hunters, Trampers, Families, Tourists, Campers – basically anyone who enjoys outdoor adventures in the South Island.

### 1/5 — You have to be a subscriber to “see” anything

*2025-07-26, version 1.1.2*

You have to be a subscriber to “see” anything, no point sitting through 30mins+ of download and updates to still see “nothing”.
Guest should be replaced with a trial of “full effect” to showcase the app for 14-30 days, not hide behind a paywall, even though the prospective user has to load everything onto their device but see nothing, very bizarre. 
I realise part of this model is to prevent tourist “hit & runs” for free, but for someone living in NZ, this made me uninstall the app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-03-03, version 1.1.2*

Best way to explore South Island. So much info, got to be the go to for anyone going off road in the South Island.

### 3/5 — Can’t subscribe

*2025-02-17, version 1.1.2*

I tried to contact app support but it goes nowhere so apologies this is my only option. First install-bug/error for map download (should’ve copied it sorry). Deleted app, reinstalled. Success! Then tried to subscribe but just crashes. Can you please look at some fixes and let me know when it’s ready to go. Super excited to have this tool so hope it gets sorted

### 1/5 — Doesn’t actually work

*2024-12-01, version 1.1.2*

Downloaded all the maps and paid for the subscription and the map won’t work, buggy and just goes blank when you zoom in
