What it does

One app for the road, the trail and the stars.

Nova Bound helps you find a park, get there, hike it safely, and look up when the sun goes down.

Trails and parks

Nearly 10,000 parks and about 78,000 trails, with park guides, topo maps and alerts.

Turn-by-turn GPS

Voice directions, rerouting and a 3D driver view, plus gas, food, EV charging, hotels and hospitals along the way.

Track your hikes

Record your hike and get a buzz if you drift off the trail.

The night sky

A live star map, 3D planets, tonight’s best sights, and control for compatible telescopes.

AI trip planner

Tell it when you can go. It plans the hikes, a place to sleep, chargers and a dark-sky night.

Ask Nova

Ask anything about the night sky and get a simple answer.

Why Nova Bound

Built for the moments that matter outside.

Everything in one app

Trails, a car GPS and the night sky usually take three apps. Nova Bound keeps your whole trip together.

Safety is always free

GPS, voice directions, wrong-turn alerts, weather alerts, SOS and hike tracking stay free, and so is the sky map.

SOS on every tab

Hold for 3 seconds, confirm, and your live location is texted to your emergency contact.

Ready for no signal

Download topo maps before you go, so your trail map still works when the bars run out.

Navigation aid only, not a substitute for a map and a charged phone. Some features may differ by phone at launch.
