CritterMap Software, maker of the Android GPS App BackCountry Navigator, brings you a chance to explore your world beyond the limits of roads and cell coverage.

Wherever you're going, Backcountry Navigator Pro offers map choices for the locations that interest you. View and download topographic maps, color aerial maps, open street maps, and more for anywhere in the U.S. and Canada.

To find a map for any location using Backcountry Navigator Pro, tap your phone's menu button and then tap the Maps option. View the available map options for each location category: Worldwide, US and Canada, Southern Europe, Western Europe, Central Europe, Oceania, and Microsoft Research Maps.

While traveling within your mobile network or with Wi-Fi access, downloading a map isn't necessary. Maps are displayed on your device from the internet as long as you have the Preview Enabled box checked. But this app isn't called Backcountry Navigator for nothing. There's a big and beautiful world out there and your cell coverage can't go everywhere you can.

Backcountry Navigator Pro allows you to download free maps and save them on your SD card, making them accessible even when your mobile signal isn't. This is ideal for backcountry activities or for travel in foreign countries where you'll disable your data or lack cell coverage.

Download only the part of the map you want. To download map tiles for offline use, toggle the sculpt button and touch and drag a box to define one or more rectangles on the screen. Choose the map layer you prefer and the max zoom, then click download. You're ready to explore.

Headquartered in Camas, Washington, CritterMap Software aims to make software and content for enjoyment of outdoor recreation. CritterMap Software is founded by an outdoor enthusiast with experience in both software development and land navigation.
