Stop burning diesel on bad intel. Hunt smarter.
Hunters rely on fragmented, outdated information: word of mouth, old OnX screenshots, and expensive guided hunts just to figure out if the land is worth running. There is no crowdsourced, real-time field intelligence layer for hunting — the equivalent of what Waze did for traffic, or what Fishbrain did for fishing.
Roam is that layer.
A field intelligence platform for hunters that combines parcel boundary data, satellite imagery, offline capability, and crowdsourced real-time reports from people who were just in the field.
Map Layer
- ArcGIS satellite tiles for high-fidelity terrain visualization
- Regrid API parcel boundaries — know exactly who owns what before you drive out
- Offline mode with IndexedDB — works where cell service doesn't
Field Intel Feed
- Crowdsourced location-tagged reports: game sign, pressure, access conditions, water sources
- Pre-trip social feed — see what's been posted from your target area in the last 48 hours
- Think Waze traffic reports, but for elk sign
Hardware Integration (V2)
- Garmin inReach integration — two-way messaging from backcountry

22 years in the military gave me a lot of time in the field and a very low tolerance for logistics failures. That's where this came from.
