Free Hunting Map

Public land and access

See public land by manager over topo, satellite or street maps. PAD-US helps you spot areas to research; Wisconsin parcels, PAD-US public-access classes, PLSS lines, water and Wisconsin deer units add context. The Layers panel groups datasets and offers opacity controls, legends and an active-layer list.

Public ownership does not establish hunting permission or a legal way in. Parcel coverage is Wisconsin-only. Check the managing agency before you go.

Organize pins and tracks

Drop pins for parking, stands, camp and sign. Add names and notes, draw a track, measure distance, or record a GPS track while you walk.

Organize pins and tracks into colored categories, show or hide items, and search names, notes, categories and camera details offline. Supported Google Takeout lists become categories.

Keep the app open when recording: mobile browsers can pause it in the background.

Trail camera pins and view cones

Choose a Trail cam pin and adjust its field-of-view cone on the map. Drag the tip to change bearing and range, or the side handles to widen or narrow the angle. Numeric controls let you enter those values directly.

Save a camera model, date set, last-checked date and notes. The cone records your planned view; verify aim, obstructions and equipment rules at the site.

Federal trails and motor routes

Enable Public trails for the regional pilot covering Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa and Illinois, plus nearby territory inside the pilot bounds. It combines federal USFS, BLM, NPS and USGS inventories, including Forest Service motor routes.

Tap a route for available name, allowed uses, seasons, agency and source details. This is not a complete inventory of state, county or private trails. Check current closures and permissions with the manager; viewed trail tiles are cached offline.

Vegetation, water and terrain

Explore 2025 land cover and tree canopy, 2024 vegetation type and height, forest type and ownership, vegetation loss, and 2025 USDA crops. Add wetlands, streams, springs or watersheds to understand the landscape.

Compare SSURGO soils, ecoregions, contours, elevation tint, hillshade, slope and aspect. Wildfire hazard potential, current wildfires and historic fire perimeters add context. Dataset dates and coverage vary; live identification and refreshed fire information need a connection. These maps do not establish current ground conditions or access.

Lidar and terrain scouting

Switch between topo and aerial imagery, then add lidar-derived hillshade to examine ridges, drainages and benches before walking them.

The experimental Trail finder processes lidar on your device in two supported Wisconsin survey areas. Candidates are unverified clues, not mapped public trails or a promise of access. New analysis needs a connection; saved candidates remain available offline.

Offline maps and saved data

Open the map online first. Tiles you view are cached automatically; saved pins and tracks stay available without a connection. There is no bulk area-download button.

Pan across your route at the zoom levels you will use, then test in airplane mode before leaving. Browser storage can be cleared or evicted. Fresh weather and live layer identification need the network; cached layer imagery can be reused.

File sharing and optional sync

Export pins and tracks as GPX or GeoJSON. Import existing files, or bring supported saved places and list categories from Google Takeout. Share selected map items with QR codes, including between nearby devices without internet.

Use the map without an account. Optional Google sign-in syncs map items, saved lidar candidates and map preferences across your devices. Downloaded tiles stay on each device.

Weather, wind, sun and moon

Read wind direction, gusts, temperature and hourly weather for the map center. See sunrise, sunset and moon information alongside the forecast.

Weather needs a connection to refresh; the last cached forecast can be shown offline. Sun and moon calculations run locally. Civil twilight is not a determination of legal shooting hours.
