Guides

Help & how-to

Short guides to get the most out of Kruger Navigator on your next drive. Everything here works offline.

Getting started

Your first drive

Install from TestFlight, allow location when prompted, and the map centres on you. The Kruger map is already on your phone — no download needed. Put the device in airplane mode and everything still works.

Navigation

Routing to a camp or sighting

Search for a camp, gate or waterhole, or tap and hold anywhere on the map to drop a destination. Tap Route and the on-device engine plots the fastest legal path, with live turn-by-turn guidance and an ETA — all offline.

Search

Finding places fast

Open search and start typing. Results cover camps, gates, picnic sites, waterholes and landmarks, and appear instantly from the offline index. Tap a result to see it on the map or route straight to it.

Your places

Saving pins & sightings

Tap and hold on the map to drop a pin, give it a name and (optionally) link a species from the wildlife database. Your pins are saved on your device and grouped so you can find them again on the next trip.

Import / export

Working with KML & KMZ

Import KML/KMZ layers — a shared route, your own waypoints, or a birding list — and they'll draw on the map. Export your saved locations and routes to share with your travel group via the iOS share sheet.

Wildlife

Using the species database

Browse the illustrated wildlife library to identify what you're seeing, with names in multiple languages. Link a sighting to one of your pins to build your own record of the trip.

Planning

Gate times & road closures

Check when camp gates open and close before you set out, and watch for restricted or closed roads shown on the map. This data refreshes over the air whenever you have a connection.

Staying current

Keeping data up to date

When your phone has internet — at a rest camp or on the way in — the app quietly checks for updated road and closure data and applies it automatically. There's nothing to manage; just open the app with a connection now and then.
