About this app

Forgotten Ground Australia Edition
🍺 Beer Trekker – Your Legendary Outback Wingman 🦘

Never accidentally drive past the only cold one (or the only fuel bowser) for 500 km again!

The ultimate travel companion for Australia & New Zealand road trips, 4WD adventures, grey-nomad laps, and weekend escapes.

🟢 STATUS INDICATORS – KNOW WHERE YA STAND

Four real-time status lights at the top of the screen:
• WWW – Internet connection status (pings Google DNS)
• Cell – Cellular tower connection with data
• GPS – Location accuracy and lock status
• Battery – Charge level with charging indicator

Green = good to go. Red = you\'re in the shit. Simple as that.

🗺️ MAPS THAT KEEP WORKING WHEN THE SIGNAL DOESN\'T

• Once you open the app while you have internet, maps automatically cache so you can still zoom and pan offline

• Standard, Satellite, Topographic, CyclOSM (amazing for fire trails), and Esri Topographic styles

• Blue dot when parked, orange arrow (with direction) when you\'re moving

• Distance filter + manual zoom – all usable offline on cached areas

🍻 FIND THE IMPORTANT STUFF

• Pubs & breweries

• Fuel stations

• Free & paid campsites

• Historic places 🏛️ (ruins, monuments, WW2 aircraft wrecks, archaeological sites, castles, forts, shipwrecks, and more outback history)

• Hotels & motels

• Mobile towers (colour-coded Telstra/Optus/Vodafone so you know where the bars come back)

Bright colour-coded markers with 3-letter tags – easy to read at a glance.

🔔 PUB ALERT – THE FEATURE EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT

Customisable ping (1, 3, 5, 10, or 15 km) with sound and/or vibration when you\'re approaching the next pub or brewery. Never miss the only pub in the desert again (and yes, you can turn it off when you\'re sick of it).

⭐ HANDY FEATURES TRAVELLERS ACTUALLY USE

• Save favourites and add your own custom points (secret lookout, epic spot, \"kangaroos here at dusk\") with photos & notes

• GPS track recording (view distance travelled, show/hide tracks)

• Current weather + 7-day forecast (requires brief internet when you can get it)

• \"Nearest\" button for fuel, pub, campsite

• Search the whole database by name

⚙️ YOU\'RE IN CONTROL

• Pick up to 4 POI categories at once

• Speed readout on screen

• Auto-download fresh data whenever you\'re on Wi-Fi or have signal

🔒 PRIVACY & OFFLINE REALITY

• No account, no tracking, everything possible stays on your phone

• Maps work offline in areas you\'ve previously viewed or downloaded

• POI database is stored locally after the first sync – still there with zero bars

• Weather and live Google reviews obviously need internet when available

100% built by Aussie overlanders who got sick of surprise 400 km dry stretches.

Download Beer Trekker now and make every road trip properly legendary – cold beer, full tank, and zero surprises! 🍺🚐🦘
