About the App

Thank you for using this app, I hope it helps you really enjoy your time on track. Think of this as a bushwalking guidebook; you will find lots of general information on how to bushwalk safely (how to prepare, get fit, pack, plan, choose gear, as well as first aid refreshers), there is also detailed information, maps and GPS to help you navigate the track.

I have been a keen bushwalker since I was a teenager and love to encourage others to get out there and enjoy these amazing places, my hope is that this will help you and your friends build a lifelong love for exploring wild places.

Mapping Data
A big thanks to the thousands of volunteers who contribute to the OpenStreetMap project. This app uses data from OSM to produce the main map tiles and gather the information used to create the map overlays and notes section. The OpenStreetMap data is available under an Open Database License. I have and will continue to contribute back many improvements to OSM. Some of the OSM data may also incorporate or developed using Administrative Boundaries © Geoscape Australia licensed by the Commonwealth of Australia as well as from then LINZ Data Service under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0).
The map also includes elevation and water flow information that has been developed by processing a wide range of public domain data. The map will also include some overlay data from other sources that are copyrighted by Bushwalk.com & wildwalks.com.

The satellite imagery comes from a range of sources. Zoom levels 0-9 (whole of earth) is a minimally process version of NASA's 'Blue Marble Next Generation with Topography and Bathymetry' collection that was generated using data from MODIS. Zoom levels 9-13 (City to suburb views) were generated by bushwalk.com (using GEE) by processing 12 months of data from the Sentinel, basically, we stacked all images with few clouds and used a weighted average on the brighter set of pixels to generate the final image set. Zoom levels 13-18 (Suburb to track views) are provided by each state. NSW: © State Government of NSW and Spatial Services (DCS) 2023. Tasmania: © State of Tasmania, Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 3.0 AU
