Rural field-ops navigation & land mapping

Map your roads once. Navigate them forever — offline.

Bearing turns a piece of land into a private field map you and your crew can actually use in the field: the roads you drive, the gates you open, the stands and feeders you check — held on your device and ready when there's no signal.

What Bearing is

A field map for the last mile — where the paved road ends and the ranch begins.

Most maps stop at the gate. Bearing is built for everything past it: the two-track roads, the locked gates and their codes, the stands, feeders and water — the details that only exist because someone on the ground put them there.

You draw or import your roads and drop your markers once. From then on the map is yours to open on a phone in the truck, share with a lease partner, or hand to a buyer as a clean acreage packet. Save an area before you lose signal and it keeps working when you're out of range.

It runs in the browser — nothing to install — and the free layer is useful the moment you open it.

What it does

Everything the last mile needs, in one map

Each of these works today. Where coverage is still growing, it says so.

Roads & offline nav

Draw your roads or import them, then get turn-by-turn guidance along your own tracks — computed on the device, no routing service required.

Routes only on roads you've added · save an area for offline

Gates & gate codes

Mark every gate and keep its code with it. Codes stay off any map you share by default — they travel only when you deliberately choose to include them.

Map-only sharing is the default

Stands, feeders & markers

Drop deer stands, blinds, feeders, wells and any note you need. Labels de-collide so the map stays readable at every zoom.

Typed markers with notes and feed times

Lots & live acreage

Cut a tract into lots and see acreage update as you draw. Auto-layout can draft a road-served split for you to adjust.

Auto-layout is a beta assist you review

Parcels & ownership

Turn on parcel boundaries and tap a piece of land to see who owns it and its APN — useful for knowing exactly where your line runs.

Export a field packet

Send a branded PDF or PNG with a title block, north arrow, scale bar, legend and an acreage table — the same map you see on screen.

Who it's for

A free layer anyone can use, and private-land tools for the people who own the gate

Bearing is free and open for the map itself. The private-land features are where it earns its keep for the people running a place.

FREE · PUBLIC LAND

Hikers, hunters & anglers

Anyone getting onto a piece of ground

  • Public-land, park and WMA boundaries you can tap and identify
  • Parcel lines and property owners where coverage exists
  • Measure distance and acreage, drop and label your own pins
  • Save an area to your phone and open it with no signal

No account needed. This layer stays free.

Ranches, leases, brokers & outfitters

The people who hold the keys to the gate

  • Your road system with gate codes, stands, feeders and notes
  • Offline turn-by-turn along your own roads for the whole crew
  • One shared ranch map, kept in sync across members
  • Saved, named ranches and clean acreage packets for buyers

Private-land tools are rolling out through a founding-ranch onboarding — a limited, hands-on setup rather than a self-serve upsell today.

How the map becomes yours

Three steps, then it just works

STEP 01

Map it once

Draw or import your roads, then drop gates, stands, feeders and boundaries. The road and marker data is yours — Bearing doesn't invent it, it holds it.

STEP 02

Save it for offline

Save the area you'll be working before you head out. Once it's saved, the map and your own roads keep working with no signal.

STEP 03

Share it your way

Send a map-only link that leaves out gate codes, or a clean acreage packet for a buyer. Share links can be revoked or set to expire.

Assist, not autopilot

The AI drafts. You decide.

Where Bearing helps automatically — like drafting a road-served lot split with auto-layout — it hands you a proposal, not a final answer. Every AI-assisted step is editable and stays a beta feature until it earns your trust in the field. Nothing gets published, shared or measured off a guess.

The numbers that matter — acreage, distances, boundaries — are computed from the geometry you drew, not estimated.

Your data

A ranch map is sensitive. It's treated that way.

Handing over your gate codes and stand locations is a real decision. Here's how Bearing handles them — described plainly, without overclaiming.

Gate codes stay behind by default

Every share defaults to "map only" — gate codes, feed times and notes are stripped off the map before it leaves your device. They travel only if you deliberately include them.

You control every link

A share link can be revoked when you're done with it, and sensitive links can be set to expire on their own so they don't outlive their purpose.

Encrypted in transit

Anything that does leave your device travels over standard encrypted HTTPS — the same kind of connection used across the modern web.

Your work stays with you

Your maps live in your own browser unless you choose to sync them, and your ranch data isn't sold. Bearing doesn't hold a formal security certification — this is a plain description of how it works, not a compliance claim.

Get your bearings on any piece of land.

Open the map, drop a pin, and see what the last mile looks like when it's actually mapped.
