Create your own map view

The new ‘Saved’ tab in the map allows you to quickly view the locations that are most relevant to you. With just one tap you bring the POIs you want to see to the top of the map. Adding or removing these points is as easy as tapping an icon and marking the save button

Create a Custom View for Your Overland Trip

When you save a point of interest by bookmarking it, you can create a personalized view of  the resource map in the Saved tab.

Only view what is relevant to you on your overland, car camping or adventure travel journey.

All your locations in one place

With the improved sync system for POIs, users can now easily keep their saved locations up-to-date across different devices.

POIs created as a quick save or full save while offline will automatically sync once your device connects to the internet or you manage to find that one sliver of cellular reception.

Easier than ever to upload GPX files + 3D preview

GPX import and save is even easier, allowing users to quickly import shared or saved GPX files from other mapping sources.

The 3D Preview feature provides a more immersive view of the terrain, helping users plan their overland adventures more effectively.

Share that free Wi-Fi spot, keep that campsite for you

Creating public or private POIs has also been streamlined, making it easier for users to share or keep their favorite spots to themselves.

We’ve loosened up the details required for private POIs so you can quickly mark your map with as much or as little detail as you need.

Want to share more information like that awesome local coffee shop with the free Wi-Fi or your trusted mechanic? Awesome! Just add the pertinent details and save your POI as public.

Your location contribution earns you major map points and helps other adventure travelers on their overland trips.

Never forget a spot with multi image upload

And you can now upload multiple images when creating a POI, providing more context and visual information about the location.

Map improvements

There have been updates to POI pop-ups and display cards on the map to provide a more intuitive and seamless experience.

Additionally, improvements have been made to image caching, as well as how all the map data is handled to optimize performance.

Spot fire activity before starting out on your trek

And finally, the new Fire map layer helps users stay informed about wildfire activity in their area.

Overall, the latest update to the Overland Bound One app brings multiple features and improvements together to make it a robust tool for planning and executing all your overland journeys.

Combined with the tap and snap route planner, location from image uploader, Rally Point event planner and the community forums, we have you covered EVERY step of the way.
