Out of office. In your element.
A quiet moment should not depend on a signal. Download selected map areas before you leave, and keep your catalog, trips and pass wallet close.

All implemented Parkspan features are free, with no ads or subscriptions in the app. Park entrance fees, official passes, reservations and mobile data charges are separate.
Can I download it yet?
Parkspan 0.6.0-beta is currently in private testing. There is no public download or Google Play listing yet. The availability page will provide the official destination when a public release is ready.
Does it work on iPhone?
The app currently supports Android 11 and newer. You can browse this website on an iPhone, iPad or computer, but an iOS version of the app is not available.
What works without a signal?
The bundled catalog, saved places, trips and pass wallet work offline. Download a selected map area before you leave. A download covers an area around a chosen point, not necessarily the whole park or the roads between stops. External links and uncached full-size photos may still need internet.
Does a photo replace my physical park pass?
No. The wallet keeps a private reference copy. It does not issue or validate a pass, and a stored photo does not establish acceptance as an official digital pass. Carry the pass and identification required by the destination.
Are fees and park conditions live?
Parkspan uses dated, sourced information with some coverage gaps. It does not provide live closure alerts or an all-clear for travel. Check the destination's official information for current access, reservations, fees and eligibility.
Where do my plans and pass photos go?
Personal records stay in app-private storage, and pass photos are encrypted with a device-held key. Maps, remote photos and optional public-data updates make network requests to their providers. Backups and support reports leave the app only through actions you choose.
