THE BUSH IS CALLING
Every camp, water point and 4WD track in the country, on a map that keeps working when the phone gives up.
Replaces the maps app, the camping app, the tracks app and the GPS unit — one tool that actually works where the seal ends.
Download the whole of Australia once, before you leave home. Navigate, search and plan with no signal at all — the map doesn't need to phone home.
Every named track in Australia — searchable and filterable by difficulty, state and length. From easy touring roads to the crossings people talk about for years.
Camps, fuel, water, lookouts, springs and more — each with a description so you know what you're driving into before you get there.
String stops together, reorder them, and take the plan into the bush — share a link so your mates know where you're headed.
Record your own tracks as you drive — distance, duration, speed and elevation gain, exportable as GPX when you're home.
Reviews, photos and track conditions from people who've actually been there — and a way to flag it when something's changed.
Every named 4WD track in Australia, searchable and filterable — difficulty, state, length, and the story behind it.
I got sick of planning a trip at home, then watching the map turn into a blank grey square the moment I hit the dirt.
The big map apps give up exactly where you need them. And the offline options were either tied to a subscription that never ends, or a clunky GPS unit stuck to the windscreen.
So I built BushNav: the whole of Australia's camps, fuel, water and tracks on your phone, downloaded once, working with no signal. No ads, no account needed to look around, no subscription nagging. I use it on my own trips — that's the point of it.

The stuff people actually ask us.
Yes — that's the whole point. Download Australia's map pack once and the maps, 43,000+ tracks and your planned trip are all sitting on your phone. Signal is optional.
No — anyone who camps, drives remote or explores Australia gets value out of it: a 2WD on gravel roads, a campervan, a motorbike or a hiker on fire trails. That said, the track data and difficulty ratings are built with 4WDers front of mind.
