## What is WildSpotter?

Find spots no one has shared.

WildSpotter is a geographic radar that analyzes terrain, satellite, and legal data to discover overnight parking spots in Spain. It's not a review directory — it's a system that processes real geographic data to surface places no one has posted.

88,000+ spots analyzed. All 17 autonomous communities covered.


FREE

All of this, free and ad-free:

• Full map of Spain with 88,000+ spots
• Van rating: every spot gets 0 to 5 vans across 5 categories — Access, Setting, Quiet, Seclusion, and Terrain. At a glance you know if you'll make it there in your van, if it's a special place, and if you'll sleep in peace
• Furgopins by quality tier: green (top), cyan (good), amber (with alerts)
• Clear legal notices: which rule applies, how to behave to stay within it, and a plan B (nearby designated areas) — actionable info, not empty alarm levels
• Your vehicle profile: tell us about your van and we'll tell you whether each spot's rule applies to you
• Local legal news per spot: press coverage of checks and ordinances in the area, linked to the original source
• List mode with full pagination of the current area
• Folders to organize your favorite spots (no account needed)
• High-resolution satellite photo per spot (PNOA, 25cm/pixel)
• Radar scan: scan wide areas with no zoom lock
• Direct Google Maps navigation
• Offline cache for previously viewed spots


PREMIUM — EXPLORER PLAN (€4.99/month or €34.99/year)

Advanced tools for full-time road travelers:

• Offline maps: download full areas with spots, van ratings, and legal data
• Instant legal check: long-press any point on the map to cross-reference every legal source in seconds
• Advanced filters: filter by van-rating category (e.g. only spots with full Access), altitude, and surface type
• Shared folders: share a private folder with your co-pilot or crew (up to 6 people)
• Saved spots with cross-device sync
• Legal change alerts for your saved spots
• Legal toolkit: official documentation to show authorities
• Seasonal alerts

You can subscribe without creating an account. Create one only if you want to sync your folders and spots across devices.


HOW IT WORKS

Every spot goes through a geographic analysis pipeline:
Radar (OpenStreetMap) → Terrain (slope and elevation) → Legal (MITECO, Land Registry, bulletins) → Satellite (AI on PNOA orthophoto) → Context (noise, buildings, scenery, privacy) → Land Cover (CORINE) → Access analysis and van rating.


DATA SOURCES

• OpenStreetMap (Geofabrik) — spot geometry
• IGN Spain PNOA — 25cm/pixel satellite orthophoto
• MITECO — Natura 2000, National Parks, Coastal Law
• Land Registry — parcel classification
• National gazette + regional decrees + municipal ordinances — overnight parking rules
• CORINE Land Cover 2018 — land use (Copernicus)
• AEMET — fire risk alerts


PRIVACY

WildSpotter is NOT a review directory. No reviews, no user photos, no publicly shared locations. Spots are discovered by analyzing geographic data, not by publishing your favorite place for everyone to visit.


IMPORTANT

WildSpotter provides data and guidance. It does not guarantee that a spot is legal or safe for overnight parking; on-site signage always prevails over the app. The decision and responsibility always belong to the user. Always check current local regulations.

Subscriptions renew automatically. You can cancel anytime from your Apple/Google account settings. Payment is charged to your iTunes/Google Play account.
