The hunting map built around the wind. Satellite and topo maps, property lines with landowner names, LiDAR terrain, and live wind and scent drift on your actual ground — plus Scout, an AI that knows your property. WIND AND SCENT ON YOUR TERRAIN See where your scent goes before you walk in. Wind bends around ridges and drains down hollows, and Contors models it on your ground, with scent drift off every stand, your route and your own position. Thermals pull downhill at dawn and uphill at dusk, and the map shows it. Every stand is rated for the wind you'll actually hunt. MAPS FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY Five basemaps — Google and Esri satellite, USDA NAIP aerial, USGS topo and Esri Outdoor — with contour lines, public land, crops and water. LiDAR hillshade shows the benches, draws and saddles satellite can't. All 50 states. PROPERTY LINES AND LANDOWNERS Parcel boundaries nationwide with owner names and mailing addresses. Save a boundary to your map in one tap and know who to ask for permission. RECORD YOUR WALK — NEW Start a track and put the phone in your pocket. Contors keeps recording with the screen locked and shows your time, distance and speed right on the Lock Screen. Save it as a road, ATV trail, walking path or animal trail. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Save your ground to the phone before you leave the truck. Imagery, markers, routes and boundaries stay on the device, and GPS keeps tracking with no bars. HUNT THE RIGHT DAYS A 16-day forecast for your property with a deer movement rating for every day and hour, first and last light, the pressure trend, the next front, and rut timing for your county. ASK SCOUT Scout knows your stands, your sightings and today's conditions. Ask which stand to sit on a northwest wind and it names the stand and tells you why. Tell it to drop a stand or draw an access route and it does it on your map. YOUR BUCKS AND YOUR SEASON Upload a trail-camera photo for an estimated age and score. Build a hit list, log sightings by voice, and let the journal stamp the wind, temperature, pressure and moon automatically. SHARE WITH YOUR CLUB Invite your hunting partners to the same map — stands, cameras and sign — and share your live location when you choose to. BRING YOUR MAPS Import GPX, KML, KMZ or GeoJSON and your stands, trails and boundaries come straight across. FREE TO START Free includes your first property, NAIP aerial and USGS topo maps, contours, public land, crop and water layers, wind and scent tools, the movement forecast, the journal, the hit list, and a taste of Scout.
