Play BaseMap: Hunting Maps, Offline Nav/GPS & Weather on PC and Mac

About the Game

Recognized as the official hunting application for the Bone Collector Brotherhood, BaseMap consolidates every essential outdoor navigation tool into a single, powerful platform. It effectively turns your smartphone into a sophisticated GPS device, capable of guiding you through the most remote terrains. The software is engineered to provide critical location data without relying on cellular or WiFi connections, allowing you to track your real-time position relative to private property boundaries, road networks, hiking trails, and natural landmarks. This makes it an indispensable companion for hunting trips, backcountry hikes, and off-grid exploration.
One of the standout capabilities is the XDR (Exact Direction & Range) Navigation Tool, which instantly calculates the precise distance between your current location and a chosen destination. This feature pairs seamlessly with the app's GoTo navigation, helping you locate trailheads, previously saved markers, or specific coordinates with confidence. The experience is further enriched by an interactive Outdoor Journal. This social component lets you capture and log every adventure while sharing your live location with trusted contacts, a vital safety feature that requires a connection but provides peace of mind during emergencies. Additionally, SmartMarkers automatically record weather conditions at the moment you drop a pin, creating a detailed environmental log of your journey.
For the dedicated hunter, the integrated Harvest Log offers a comprehensive system to document successful hunts. You can track intricate details including the species, size of the animal, weapon used, specific hunting unit or GMU, and the type of hunt. This data is complemented by a fully equipped Weather Center that delivers forecasts and real-time data on temperature, barometric pressure, moon phases, sunrise and sunset times, and wind conditions, all of which are crucial for predicting animal movement.
BaseMap excels in offline functionality, a critical requirement for backcountry use. You can cache high-resolution maps for offline access, ensuring your GPS tracking remains active even in areas with zero cellular service. The Pro subscription removes all limits on offline caching, allowing you to save extensive map areas and stay oriented regardless of your connectivity. The app also integrates directly with Google Earth, enabling you to export your markers and view the terrain in true 3D for a more immersive planning session.
With a library of over 700 map layers that continues to expand, the depth of information available is staggering. Layers include nationwide color-coded government lands, private parcel boundaries complete with owner names, and detailed hydrography covering lakes, rivers, and streams. Specialized data such as water depths for over 4,000 U.S. lakes, wildfire and timbercut zones, wilderness areas, and state-specific hunting unit boundaries are also readily accessible. The platform syncs all your map data between the mobile app and the web application, ensuring a seamless transition from desktop research to field navigation.
Running this resource-intensive mapping tool on a PC via MuMuPlayer unlocks a new level of efficiency. The larger monitor provides a tactical overview that is impossible to achieve on a smartphone, making it easier to dissect complex topographical layers and satellite imagery. MuMuPlayer's performance optimization ensures smooth rendering of high-resolution map data, while keyboard and mouse controls allow for rapid zooming, panning, and precise placement of markers. This setup is ideal for pre-trip planning, allowing you to organize your offline maps, study parcel data, and set waypoints in a comfortable desktop environment before transferring that knowledge to your mobile device for the actual trek.
