While many of the goals of the new app are the same we are hoping to achieve a number of goals with the new platform:

Cross-Platform

The original BackCountry Navigator PRO is only available on Android. We will be bringing BackCountry Navigator XE to Android iOS and the web.

The corresponding app for iOS will be launched through TestFlight

Planning In The Cloud
The website bcnavxe.com is the web interface for BackCountry Navigator XE. With it you can plot points routes and boundaries for trips and download them on demand in the mobile app. You can push trips created in the mobile app to the cloud as well for reviewing or sharing.

Easy Grid Based Download of Maps
You can try out a simpler approach for downloading and organizing offline maps choosing large squares at a time. Visualize what you have and what you need.

Vector Topo Maps for the World
Vector topo maps for the world hold the promise of crisp multilevel detail with the ability to download large chunks of the earth's surface in a quick compact operation. The BackCountry topo map for the world can be viewed in this app and on bcnavxe.com with an easy process to install them in large blocks.
