So excited to announce our latest little project - our new mobile app: US Public Lands
It overlays BLM, Forest Service, NPS and other public land boundary maps. Helping you utilize US national resources, and helping you find sweet boondocking locations!
Read more about the app, including the amusing story behind it from our first weeks on the road.
(Just released today for iPhone & iPad - Android version already in production!)
It looks like a great tool for our future boondocking stays. Will definitely add it to our arsenal as the time draws near.... guess we'll have to finally upgrade to smartphones.

Just purchased. I'll give it a test run here in the next few hours. Sounds like a money saver for sure.
We have started using my wife's iPad for our navigation. It is easier with less gotchas than our GPS. It's great to have another tool to add to the iPad.
By the way, how can anyone do anything for $1.99 in this day and age. What a bargain.

Thanks :) It's all about volume in the app world (so spread the word :) ). The ecosystem has really changed the perceived value of software. In my beginning days as a developer 20 some years ago, something like this would have easily sold for $15-20. But then again, the potential customer base was much smaller.

Yep - me too. DH has a smartphone; I've been refusing all this time as I like having a phone that is just that - receives and answers calls. But being that we'll need to have full time connectivity, we'll need 2 data plans and thus I'll need to migrate to a smartphone as well.
Great app! Is this data also available on RVillage?

Nope.. they have a campground database and focus on the social side of RVing... and this app is a map overlay of public land boundaries (and we're just advisors to RVillage, not the developers or owners).

Love hearing the story of how it came to be, we had a similar experience in WA state on our first ever stay on BLM land:) Now, just wishing the app was available for Android devices.

Just purchased it...looks great on my Ipad. I like the color coding and how it links to all of the websites. Nice job guys!!
