Field Intel Location-aware intelligence for wherever you are — species recorded near you right now plus live weather, and curated edible plants, hazards, and dangerous wildlife for your region. Wildlife Map See animals, birds, and plants recently observed near you, from community observation data. Full Offline Navigation Add the offline map view and the complete "nearest of" set — bearings to the closest water, rivers, trails, roads, and high ground — powered by downloadable offline map packs. In-App Search & Bookmarks Search the entire guide instantly and save the sections you want to find fast. PRIVACY Your location powers navigation and nearby intel — it stays on your device and is never uploaded. Photo identification runs entirely on your phone. IMPORTANT Bearings are straight-line, not a safe walking route — terrain, cliffs, and water may block a direct path. Always carry a real map and compass as backup. This app is an outdoor-skills reference for training and preparation, not a substitute for professional instruction or emergency services. Get ready for the trail.
