Which means whatever the adventure you’ve got planned, the app has got you covered.

The BackCountry Navigator XE Outdoors GPS app has planning in the cloud capabilities which means you can plan your treks, and upload tracks and waypoints to really make your adventures your own and get them properly planned on the web before you set off.

Freedom From Signal

It’s almost like losing a limb for many when their smartphone doesn’t have any signal but with the BackCountry Navigator XE Outdoors GPS, you can experience all the thrills of the great outdoors without the concerns that come from having no cell coverage.
