Overlays such as DOC hunting boundaries, Te Araroa tracks, and other data layers are included to improve your planning and awareness during outdoor activities.

This app is designed explicitly for offline use, meaning you can navigate without internet or cellular service—an essential feature in remote New Zealand terrains. The maps are embedded fully into the app, ensuring no missing tiles or delays.
