Adventure is Necessary

Plan it. Map it. Drive it.

Whether it's six hours from home or six months on the road, Overland Bound gives you the mapping and planning tools you need for your overland or off-road journey.

How It Works

Three Tools That Work As One

Adventure is the reason. These are the tools. Field Map to find where you're going, Rally Point to plan it with your people, and Crews to keep all of it together. Here's how they work.

Field Map

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Find the trails, the camps, and everything worth stopping for, then see who's nearby before you head out. Propane, potable water, fuel, Wi-Fi, and trusted mechanics, on the same map that holds your GPX routes.

NEVER TREK ALONE

From a Saturday meetup to a week on the trail, set it up and gather your people in the same place. Who's in, what channel, where to meet, what the road was like last time out.

Crews

YOUR CREW HAS A HOME

The people you go with, the spots you've found, the trips you've taken and the ones you're planning, all in one place that stays put between trips. No more digging through the group text.

ONE MEMBERSHIP COVERS IT ALL

The Platform

Field Map, Rally Point, Crews

Three tools that share one map, one plan, and one set of people. Built to work together, not bolted on.

The Community

Forums that run deep

Somebody drove that road last spring and wrote down what it was like. The thread is still there. No ads, ever.

The App

Overland Bound One

The whole membership in your pocket, offline-first, on iOS and Android. Tiles download before you lose signal.

The Number

Yours for life

Your member number is assigned once and stays with you. It is recognized at the trailhead and on the trail.

The Emblem

RECOGNIZED ON ANY TRAIL

Representative of our founding principles and for being a good citizen of the trail. Overland Bound members can distinguish themselves with their custom laser etched vehicle emblem.

The Forums

SOMEBODY HAS ALREADY BEEN THERE

Join the forums for free. Whatever you're working through or searching for, someone here has probably sorted it out and written it down. Ask about the wiring on your year and trim, or what a trail was like the last time somebody drove it, and you'll usually find an answer waiting. More than thirteen years of overlanders helping each other, with no ads anywhere to be found.
