Because accuracy matters <\/span>a lot<\/span><\/i> when you\u2019re off-grid.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all been in a situation when we wished (begged?) our navigation app to provide a more accurate recording of our route.<\/span><\/p>\n

We built Overland Bound One from the gound up because we were tired of pleading with our phone. We needed accurate, <\/span>critical<\/span><\/i> insight into where we are and how to get to our next destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

OB1 offers best-in-class GPX track recording.<\/b><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s why. <\/span>More Pings = More Accuracy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGPS drift\u201d is the reason why your phone sometimes lags behind your location on the trail. The accuracy of your location depends on the position of satellites and how often the app gets information from them. Every time the navigation app \u201cpings\u201d a satellite, it\u2019s read in relation to other pings. Your location is an average of those pings.<\/span><\/p>\n

To solve for GPS drift, Overland Bound One records <\/span>more data points,<\/b> more often<\/b>. More pings means more accuracy. We also sample <\/span>more data the slower you go<\/b>. So instead of your map crawling to reload, OB1 actually gives you a clearer, more accurate location of your next crawl. (See what we did there?<\/span><\/p>\n

Notes & Directions<\/span><\/h3>\n

Accuracy matters when you got a late start to camp and now it\u2019s getting dark. Or when you\u2019re sharing a track with friends to a dispersed site for the weekend.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But when you\u2019re pulling a trailer and come to a fork in the road with a 50\/50 chance of steering the right way, knowing which way to go is the difference between a delightful afternoon and, well, <\/span>not <\/b>a delightful afternoon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While recording a track, the OB1 app lets you add a direction by simply tapping the arrow icons. You can also add a note to the GPX that will display on the map. What used to be a mysterious fork that came out of nowhere is now tracked with a left arrow and emphasized as a \u201csharp left.\u201d Old fork, old problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Automatic Distance Waypoints<\/span><\/h3>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be great if your track automatically noted distance between waypoints without having to manually get your odometer involved? We thought so. Simply open the app, drive, record your track and the app will note the distance between points. Not your thing? Visit your Settings to toggle off the feature. Done and done.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll say it again, and louder for the people in the back: A<\/strong><\/span>ccuracy matters a lot when you\u2019re off-grid.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
