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.

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.
Each of these works today. Where coverage is still growing, it says so.
Draw your roads or import them, then get turn-by-turn guidance along your own tracks — computed on the device, no routing service required.
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.
Drop deer stands, blinds, feeders, wells and any note you need. Labels de-collide so the map stays readable at every zoom.
Cut a tract into lots and see acreage update as you draw. Auto-layout can draft a road-served split for you to adjust.
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.
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.
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.

No account needed. This layer stays free.
The people who hold the keys to the gate
Private-land tools are rolling out through a founding-ranch onboarding — a limited, hands-on setup rather than a self-serve upsell today.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Handing over your gate codes and stand locations is a real decision. Here's how Bearing handles them — described plainly, without overclaiming.
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.
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.
Anything that does leave your device travels over standard encrypted HTTPS — the same kind of connection used across the modern web.
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.
Open the map, drop a pin, and see what the last mile looks like when it's actually mapped.
