Every feature, in one place.
The Hunting App is a serious mapping tool built for the Australian bush. Below is the full list of what it does today, across 10 areas. 45 of these are included free; the rest are part of Plus and are marked.
Maps and layers
Australian map sources, your own imported maps and curated hunting layers, all usable with no signal.
Australian map sources
NSW DPIRD hunting maps and state forest boundaries, plus Victorian DEECA hunting areas, kept current from the source agencies.
Topographic and satellite base maps
Switch between an outdoors topographic style, high resolution satellite imagery, or a blank canvas when you only want your own layers.
Offline regions
Draw a box around where you are heading and download it. The map keeps working in the bottom of a gully with no bars.
Your own maps as overlays
Import a GeoPDF or GeoTIFF and it is georeferenced, tiled on device and drawn in the right place on the map.
- Plus
Curated premium layers
Hunting layers we prepare and publish, added to any map and downloaded for offline use.
- Plus
Custom map layers
Turn a KML, KMZ, GPX or GeoJSON into a reusable layer you can switch on over any map, on any device.
- Plus
3D terrain and contours
Tilt the map into 3D and read the country properly. Contour lines, tracks, water and roads layer on top.
- Plus
UTM grid overlay
A proper map grid drawn over the top, so a grid reference on the map matches the one you read out.
One search box
Search your own waypoints, Australian place names and raw coordinates from the same field, then jump straight there.
Readable overlay styling
Imported and premium layers are styled for legibility on a map, not dumped on as raw shapes.
Waypoints and markers
Mark what matters, tag it properly, and keep it organised across seasons.
Waypoints built for hunting
Camp, vehicle, glassing points, water, creek crossings, shot taken, target areas, rubs and wallows. Not generic pins.
Australian species tags
Deer, pig, goat, fox, rabbit, dog and more, so a season of sign actually tells you something later.
Icon and colour picker
Hundreds of markers grouped by activity, with a full colour palette. Save the ones you use most as favourites.
Photos on a waypoint
Attach photos to a pin so a set of coordinates becomes the rub tree, the gate, the crossing you actually remember.
Video attachments
Record a short clip against a waypoint. Useful for access notes, gates and anything hard to describe in text.
Collections
Group waypoints and tracks into collections per property, per season or per trip, and toggle them on and off the map.
Folders
Sort maps and collections into folders once the list gets long. Folders follow you to every device.
Per-collection styling
Set a colour and icon for a whole collection and every waypoint inside it follows, unless you override one.
Quick sighting log
Log a sighting in a couple of taps without breaking off what you are doing.
Recycle bin
Deleted something you needed? It sits in the bin for 14 days and restores with one tap.
Tracks and recording
Record where you walked and drove, review it afterwards, and keep the good routes.
GPS track recording
Live breadcrumb trail with distance, duration and pace, running in the background while your phone is in your pocket.
Clean, accurate lines
GPS noise is filtered as you record, so a walked line looks like the walk instead of a scribble.
Trip history
Every recorded trip is kept, with stats and a map you can pull back up next season.
- Plus
Hunt trail review
Replay a hunt against the waypoints you dropped along the way and keep what was worth keeping.
Tracks in and out
Import tracks from Google Earth or a handheld unit, and send yours back out in the same formats.
Import and export
Bring your existing maps and pins across, and take your data back out whenever you like.
GPX, KML, KMZ and GeoJSON import
Bring waypoints, tracks and boundaries across from Google Earth, OnX, Gaia, a handheld GPS or a mate.
GeoPDF and GeoTIFF import
Drop in a scanned or agency-issued map sheet. It is georeferenced and laid over the live map in the correct position.
CSV import
Got a spreadsheet of coordinates? Map the columns yourself and import them as waypoints.
You choose where it lands
Every import asks whether it becomes waypoints, a collection, a map overlay or a reusable layer. Nothing is dumped in a default bucket.
Free KMZ export
Export any collection or waypoint set to KMZ at no cost. Your data is never held hostage.
- Plus
GPX, KML and GeoJSON export
Export in the format the other tool wants, including bulk export of a whole collection.
Hunt planning
Work out where to sit, what you can see and what to pack, before you leave the house.
- Plus
Plan a hunt
Set the dates, pick the map and the area, invite who is coming, and it is waiting on every device.

Zones
Draw a block on the map to mark a property, a stalking area or ground you want to stay out of.
- Plus
Range rings
Drop a ring at a set distance from a point to check your shooting envelope and safe backstops.
- Plus
Elevation profile
Draw a line and see the climb. Work out whether that spur is a walk or a punish before you commit.
- Plus
Line of sight
Check whether you can actually see that clearing from that knoll, with observer and target heights accounted for.
- Plus
Measure
Quick distances and areas along any line you draw on the map.
- Plus
Weather on the map
Forecast and wind for where you are actually going, read against the terrain rather than a suburb name.
- Plus

- Plus
Direct and ad-hoc chats
Message one person directly, or spin up a side chat with a few people from your groups.

Share waypoints and tracks
Send a camp location, a glassing point or a whole track into a chat. They can save it straight to their map.
- Plus
Live location during a hunt
Opt in for the duration of a hunt so your group can see where everyone is. Off by default, and it stops when the hunt ends.
Hunt RSVPs
Say whether you are in. The group sees the numbers before anyone loads the ute.
Shared planning
The hunt organiser's planning work flows to everyone attending, read-only, so nobody is working off a screenshot.
In the field
Built for wet hands, cold mornings, long days and no reception.
Offline first, properly
Everything is written to your phone first and synced when there is signal. The app does not go blank when the bars do.
Field Lock Mode
Pocket safe and glove friendly. The map keeps running all day without phantom touches or accidental pins.
- Plus
Spoken navigation
Bearing and distance to your target read out loud, so you can keep your eyes on the country instead of the screen.
Compass and heading bar
A persistent heading strip with your bearing to the active target, readable at a glance.
Every coordinate format
Decimal degrees, DDM, DMS, UTM, MGRS and six-figure grid references. Pick one and the whole app speaks it.
Landscape mode
Turn the phone sideways on the ute bonnet and the controls move to a side rail instead of squashing the map.
Notifications and inbox
Push alerts for invites, hunts starting and group activity, with an inbox so nothing is missed.
Licences and documents
Your paperwork on your phone, encrypted, and readable without signal.
Licences in your pocket
Store your R-Licence and other state hunting licences in the app, with expiry dates you can see coming.
Organised documents
Permits, written permissions and property letters sorted into folders and searchable offline.
Scan a document
Photograph a paper permit with the built-in scanner and it is stored, cropped and readable without signal.
Privacy and your data
Your spots are yours. We built the sync so we cannot read them.
End-to-end encrypted sync
Your waypoints, tracks and licences are encrypted on your device before they are ever sent. We hold the ciphertext and nothing else.
Your spots stay yours
Nothing is shared with your group, or anyone else, unless you explicitly share it.
Take your data with you
Free KMZ export of everything you have created. No lock-in, no ransom on your own pins.

Plan hunts at the desk
Set up hunts, invite the group and lay out the plan the night before, without squinting at a phone.
Manage your layers
Import, preview and organise your custom and premium layers in the browser, then switch them on in the app.
