Find wildlife before you go. NaturalistTripper turns millions of community observations into a real trip plan — for birders, botanists, herpers, mushroom hunters, and anyone who travels to see living things. FOUR WAYS TO PLAN • Radius — drop a point and search around it. • Area — draw a polygon over the zone you'll actually cover. • Route — import a GPX, KML, or GeoJSON trail (or pull from Maps directions) and see what's been seen along it. • Species — pick a species and find where it turns up, anywhere. SEE WHERE A SPECIES CONCENTRATES • Heat map — the observations behind a Species search, drawn as a density surface, so a hundred reports over one valley no longer look like a hundred across a state. • Baseline range — the species' expected range underneath, from iNaturalist's curated range maps, or its modelled distribution where none exists. • Observation pins on or off, so the surface stays readable. "Reported here" and "expected here" stay separate claims — the app never merges them. Heat and range are Pro. BACKED BY REAL OBSERVATIONS Three of the largest community science datasets in one map: • iNaturalist — millions of verified species observations • eBird — bird sightings from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology • GBIF — global biodiversity records EVERY OBSERVATION IS RANKED Recency, verifier count, and research-grade status are weighted into a confidence score so you spend your time on sightings that actually mean something. MULTI-STOP TRIPS Chain your saved plans into a single itinerary with a combined species view across every stop — a road trip across hotspots in one shared list. CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE Sunrise, sunset, civil dusk, and moon phase for the day and place you're planning — because dawn light changes everything. WANTLIST Star the species you most want to see. Sightings that match your wantlist get priority in results and trigger optional alerts. ON THE TRAIL • Offline-friendly saved plans with prefetched photos • Optional alerts when fresh sightings appear near a saved plan • Tap any species for an ID sheet with photos, recent sightings, and how to tell it apart EXPORT YOUR PLANS • GPX & KML files with species hotspot waypoints, ready for Garmin, Gaia, or your favorite trail app • Trip Itinerary and Plan Dossier PDFs with embedded map snapshots and species photos • Wantlist field checklist PDF for the pocket • Full library backup — every plan, trip, place, and wantlist entry in one file you keep, ready to import onto a new phone PRIVACY Your location stays on your device.
