WildMap vs Bushwise

WildMap is the dedicated hunting map for Australian hunters. The map that tells you, at a glance, whether the land in front of you is public or private, what species are in season, and exactly where you're standing. Built for the field: fast, map-first, and fully usable without mobile data. Cache your hunting area at home over Wi-Fi, then head into the bush knowing the map still works when the bars run out. KNOW THE LAND • Cadastral land tenure — colour-coded property boundaries across Victoria, NSW and Tasmania. Tap a parcel in Victoria for owner and tenure-type lookup, so you can tell freehold from Crown before you cross a fence. • Public land at a glance — Crown land, State Forest and reserves are colour-coded against freehold, so you can read public ground from private the moment you open the map. • Victoria GMA zones — Game Management Authority overlays with species tables (sambar, hog deer, fallow deer, duck, and pest species). Know what's in season before you leave the truck. • NSW State Forests — declared R-Licence hunting forests with booking categories, the eleven huntable species, seasons and bag limits, and direct DPIRD booking links. • Tasmania — Game Reserve boundaries with curated species seasons, bag limits and permitted methods, plus land-tenure and huntable-tenure overlays. • Waterway and track labels — rivers, streams, and 4WD tracks labelled directly on the map, so you can plan a route in and a way out. • Alpine huts and camping grounds — discover shelters and camp spots across the Victorian high country, with GPS coordinates and details. PLAN THE HUNT • Weather forecast and wind compass — current conditions and hourly wind direction at your location. Plan your approach downwind and keep the breeze in your face. • 3D terrain — tilt the map to read spurs, gullies and faces before you climb them. Slope-angle analysis highlights dangerously steep grades. • Distance measure and area draw — measure a walking distance or calculate the size of a block directly on the map. MARK, TRACK AND RECORD • GPS tracking — record your walk-in and walk-out routes automatically, then review your tracks on the map. • Waypoints — drop pins for glassing spots, harvest sites, water, gates and parking, and colour-code them by category. • Harvest log — record every animal taken with species, date, location and notes. • Field notes with photos — attach photos and text to any location and keep a record of what you found. WORKS OFFLINE, SYNCS WHEN YOU'RE BACK • Offline map tiles — cache your hunting area before heading out; the map works without mobile data. • Sign in to sync — create a free account to sync your waypoints, tracks, notes and harvest records across your iPhone and iPad. Prefer not to sign in? The app works without an account too. WHY HUNTERS TRUST WILDMAP • Official data — boundaries are drawn from government mapping, including the Vicmap cadastre, GMA hunting areas, and NSW and Tasmanian land and hunting datasets — not crowd-sourced guesses. • Your data stays yours — waypoints, tracks and notes live on your device and sync only when you choose to sign in. • Clean and map-first — an interface built for reading terrain and tenure fast, out in the field, on a small screen. Built for Australian hunters by Australian hunters — covering Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania. WildMap is a mapping and planning tool. Hunters are solely responsible for verifying land tenure and compliance with State hunting laws before entering any property.
