HUNTING SAFETY APP
A hunting GPS that keeps the whole crew safe.
NAVTRL is a hunting safety app and GPS for hunters — track your crew live across the field, drop tactical markers, set zones, and rely on check-in timers and a dead-man switch when you hunt alone.
Quick Answer
A hunting safety app combines GPS navigation with crew awareness and emergency features. NAVTRL shows each hunter's live position and direction, lets you mark camps, danger, vehicles and animal sign, and adds SOS, check-in timers, and a dead-man switch — so a solo hunter who doesn't respond escalates to the crew with their last known location, by push notification and email.

Knowing where everyone is matters before the shot and after dark. NAVTRL shows your hunting party's live location, heading, and status on a dark-first map built for low light.
- Live position and direction for every hunter.
- Tactical markers: waypoint, danger, safe zone, camp, vehicle, animal sign, evidence, supply cache — plus a custom marker you can name for a stand or a blood trail.
- Safety zones with enter and leave alerts.
- Record a track of your own route to find your way back.
- Go dark when you want to disappear from the map.
Safety for solo hunts
Hunting alone is when safety tools matter most. NAVTRL's check-in timers and dead-man switch escalate if you don't respond — push notifications and email to your crew and the recipients you selected, carrying your last known location and the time. It sends push and email, not SMS, and it does not contact emergency services.
Let people know you're back
Start a journey to camp or the truck and your family gets an arrival notification when you get there — even if they don't have the app. Arrival is processed by our servers, so it depends on connectivity and notification delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best GPS app for hunters?
The best hunting GPS apps combine navigation with crew awareness and safety. NAVTRL adds live crew tracking, tactical markers, check-in timers, and a dead-man switch on top of GPS.
Does it work without cell service?
Live crew sharing needs connectivity, but NAVTRL is built for the field with efficient updates and last-known positions. Offline map support is on the roadmap.
How does the dead-man switch help solo hunters?
You arm a timer; if you don't check in before it expires, NAVTRL escalates to your crew and the recipients you selected by push notification and email, with your last known location and the time. It is a coordination aid, not an emergency dispatch.
Can the whole hunting party see each other?
Yes. Everyone in the crew sees live positions, direction, and shared markers/zones, and each hunter controls their own visibility.
