Mixed-surface route planning & navigation

Roads end.
Your route doesn’t.

Whether you hike, ride or drive, Overlandi plans trips that mix motorway miles, gravel & singletrack — with camps, fuel and phone signal scouted before you leave. Plan on the big screen. Navigate from your pocket.

How it works

Big-screen planning,
app-based navigation.

01

Plan on the web

Sketch multi-day, multi-track plans in the studio. Drag waypoints, snap your line to real trails, and watch surface and elevation update as you go.

02

Mix routing algorithms

Hand the motorway to Google, the dirt to Overlandi’s own algorithm, and everything between to BRouter — one seamless route, stitched from whichever suits each leg best.

03

Navigate from your pocket

Sync to your phone and navigate turn-by-turn — offline tiles, live progress for your group, and quick detours when the trail throws you a surprise.

Features

Everything between A and B.

Built for the trips where the interesting part is the bit Google won’t route.

Plan on web, go on app

Build the route on a big screen with a real keyboard; it’s on your phone before your boots are on.

Multi-day, multi-track

One plan, many tracks — split a big trip into days or loops and hop between them while you travel.

Snapping & surface analysis

Routes snap to real OSM ways — every metre graded 1 (difficult) to 10 (motorway), steepness analysed too.

Track up

A third navigation orientation beyond north-up and direction-up: it points the map down your track and fits as much of the trail ahead on screen as it can — so the whole switchback shows, not half of it.

Profiles for every machine

Adventure bike, enduro, gravel bike or 4×4 — pick how much trail you want and the router obliges.

Calendar-aware planning

Pin waypoints to dates and times — campsite bookings, ferries, seasonal closures — and plan each day around them.

Intelligent GPX export

Exported markers land on turnings and decision points — not equal spacing that cuts the corner off a hairpin.

Garmin bridge

Plug in your Garmin and sync both ways — push routes and waypoints to the unit, pull your recorded tracks straight back into a plan.

Diversions & detours

Branch off to a campsite and rejoin by the quickest route — or detour a rockfall. Your day stays intact.

Groups & collaboration

Invite your group: plan the same route live together, and everyone carries the latest plan.

Live group locations

See your whole group on the map while you travel. Out of coverage? Their last-known spot stays, time-stamped.

Help button

In trouble? One tap signals distress to your whole group, with your exact location. Free, always.

Signal at the campsite

Cell-coverage data for your overnight stops, so “off grid” is a choice — not a surprise.

Wild camping finder

Quiet wild-camp pitches found along your route — checking the local camping rules is on you.

Offline routes & tiles

Routes and map tiles live on the phone. No bars, no roaming, no problem — navigation just keeps going.

OSM quests

Little missions along your route — confirm a surface, check a spring — that level up the map for everyone.

POIs along the route

Fuel, water, food, viewpoints — found along your line, not in a 50 km circle around it.

Snapping & surface analysis

Know every surface before you travel it.

Overlandi snaps your line to real OSM ways and grades every metre from 1 (difficult) to 10 (motorway) — a grade of 0 just means it hasn’t been graded yet — and you can help grade it. See the surface mix, the steep ramps, and exactly where the tarmac runs out — while the route is still a draft, not a roadside discovery.

  • Per-metre 1–10 road-type grading on every track
  • Steepness analysis from real terrain data — know the ramps before they know you
  • Surface mix and elevation profile for each day
  • Tune the grade you want per vehicle profile
Gravel · Grade 5 14% incline SURFACE GRADE 1 · difficult 10 · motorway TODAY’S MIX 42% 38% 20%

Navigation · Track up

Never guess what’s round the bend.

North-up pins the map to the compass; direction-up spins it to your heading — and both can push part of the bend clean off the edge of the screen. Track up orients to the trail itself and fits as much of the way ahead as the viewport will hold, so the whole switchback is on screen before you reach it. Never be left guessing what’s on the other side of the switchback again.

  • Orients to your track and fits the most of the trail ahead on screen
  • See the whole bend coming — no leg left off the edge
  • Still one tap from north-up or direction-up
North up Direction up Track up

Diversions & detours

Bend the route, don’t break it.

Real trips never follow the plan exactly — a campsite worth the hop, a pass that didn’t survive the winter. Overlandi bends the route around the moment and keeps the rest of your day intact.

Branch off ↘ Rejoin · quickest route Campsite tonight

Diversion — worth the hop

Branch off the main track to a campsite or any POI near your line. When you’re done, Overlandi rejoins the track ahead by the quickest route — no backtracking.

Rockfall Detour +14 min · day intact

Detour — around the surprise

Rockfall on the pass? Reroute around just the blocked stretch. Everything after it — the trails, the camp, the plan — stays exactly as you drew it.

Itinerary & export

Fixed dates. Faithful exports.

The unglamorous details that make or break a trip — a campsite booked for Friday, a GPX your old sat-nav can’t misread — handled properly.

Camp du Lac · Fri · booked Ferry · Sat 09:00 · fixed Pass closed until Sat Itinerary Fri 18 · Day 1 · 212 km Sat 19 · Ferry 09:00 ⚓ Sun 20 · Day 2 · 141 km

Plan to the calendar

Pin waypoints to dates and times — the booked campsite, the ferry, the day the pass reopens — and shape each day around the points that won’t move.

Every 500 m On every turning

GPX export that doesn’t cut corners

Exports for other devices put markers on turnings and decision points — not at blind equal intervals — so a marker-to-marker navigator follows the hairpin instead of drawing a line across it.

Wild camping · coverage · POIs

End the day somewhere good.

The night matters as much as the miles. Overlandi finds wild-camp pitches and campsites along your line and checks the cell coverage at each one — so you know before you commit to the col.

  • Wild-camp pitches and campsites found along your route — whether you may camp there is yours to check
  • Cell coverage at any point, from real tower data
  • Fuel, water, food and viewpoints found along the route

Real-time sharing & collaboration

Plan it together, in real time.

Send a link and your group is in the same plan — live cursors, instant edits, no “final_v3_FINAL.gpx” email chains. And when the plan is ready, the group travels it together too.

  • Share links with view or edit access
  • Live presence — see who’s moving what, as they move it
  • Everyone syncs the latest plan to their own phone

AI co-driver · MCP

Tell the map what you want.

The co-driver speaks fluent route. Ask for three days of gravel with a camp each night, and watch it work on the live map — it searches real places and unpaved ways, drops the waypoints, snaps every leg and grades the surface as it goes.

  • Finds the good stuff: gravel and forest tracks, mountain huts, fuel and water stops — even named military roads
  • Edits like a planner: waypoints, per-leg profiles and alternatives, icons, and a dated itinerary for each day
  • Imports and exports GPX, follows your reference tracks, saves and loads whole plans
  • Speaks MCP — connect Claude or your own agent and drive the studio from outside

Garmin bridge

Straight onto your Garmin.

No cards to swap, no clumsy file shuffling. Plug your Garmin into your computer and Overlandi syncs both ways — your planned routes and waypoints land on the unit, and the tracks you recorded out there come back into a plan, ready to analyse.

  • Two-way sync — push routes & waypoints, pull recorded tracks
  • Auto-detects a plugged-in Garmin; routes the right files to the right folders
  • Pulled tracks become an editable, surface-graded plan
  • Validated on real handhelds like the GPSMAP 66i

Low-bandwidth by design

Built for the edge of the map.

Overlanding takes you where the bars run out. Overlandi is engineered to keep working on a trickle of signal — and to keep its bearings when GPS gets shaky.

Highly optimised tiles

Map tiles squeezed to the smallest honest size, cached on the device and fetched only for the ground you're actually heading over — not a whole region you'll never see.

Vector where it counts

Features stream as vectors wherever possible — razor-sharp at any zoom from tiny payloads, and restyled on the fly without re-downloading a thing.

Prioritised loading

Your route and the road ahead draw first; labels, terrain and the nice-to-haves fill in after. On a trickle of signal the map is useful in the order that matters.

Steady through weak GPS

When the fix drifts or drops out, Overlandi holds a smooth heading and position instead of letting the marker pinball across the map.

Low-power mode

Dial GPS accuracy down to sip battery on the long days — coarser, less frequent fixes that still keep you on the line, with full precision a tap away when you need it.

Open source

Built on open maps.
We help build them too.

Overlandi stands on the shoulders of the open-mapping community — and pulls its weight. Travelling with us makes the map better for everyone, on every app.

OSM quests

Travel with a mission.

Overlandi sets little quests along your route — confirm a surface, check a water source, report whether the gate is still locked. The map gets better for everyone, on every app.
