A powerful, easy way to create, manage and share collections of waypoints, for countless purposes. Navigate to anywhere, even when device is in your pocket and offline!

Poynterra Trekker is a unique, versatile navigation app that literally points you to any location on earth (a waypoint) without using the internet. If you’re an off-the-beaten-track trekker who would welcome a GPS lifeline in remote areas, this app is for you. Laying down GPS tracks is easy in ROAM and TRIP modes, ensuring easy return to previous waypoints. And as an ultimate lifeline, we’ve added SOS Emergency Flasher. If you’re a less adventurous traveler (like on a peaceful cruise), you’ll find it equally valuable in tracking distance and direction to foreign ports on the open seas and for sightseeing on land. If you’re on a biking trip, you’ll love AudioPoynt™, which points you to your destination though your phone speaker or earbuds even when your phone is off. All of this, and much more, functions without wifi or a cell connection!

Besides navigation, Poynterra Trekker has powerful waypoint management features . Waypoints with descriptive info can be easily added to user-created folders and copied/moved between them. Waypoints and folders are easily exported and shared (does require internet), especially with other Poynterra users, in a number of file formats. Powerful Export/BACKUP and Import/RESTORE functions make it easy to archive any data you create and reinstall it when needed -- or share it with others. And, archived files can be restored on any device running Poynterra Trekker.

The capability to import sets of waypoints directly into folders is one of Poynterra Trekker’s most powerful features and can take planning of your trekking and sightseeing to an entirely new level. Waypoint data can be in the form of KML/KMZ files created with Google My Maps, Google Earth or other sources, CSV files from spreadsheets, and GPX files from other location tracking devices. Folders exported as PYNZ files (our own format) by you or other Poynterra Trekker users can be imported without losing any of the original information.
