  • In this video we share with you how we navigate and communicate on a long term overland journey around the world.
    We share the free apps we use along with some helpful tips we have learned over 7 years of full time overlanding.
    Join us as we travel the world overland, exploring the cultures and traditions of all the countries we visit.
    In our Land Rover Defender camper which is our full time home we will take you rock climbing, hiking and exploring across all the continents on this planet.
    If you enjoy our videos and would like to support our work we have a Patreon account.
    Thank you so much and see you next time.

    I fully confirm Michael Raddie‘s comment. A fantastic video. Unfortunately, we are not travelling yet, but are preparing ourselfs. This video closes the gaps where I was struggling the most; planing and navigation and as well dealing with foreign languages. Thank you so much for your advice for the explained Apps!!

    That was by far the most helpful video for a would be traveler I have ever seen, and Nicely edited. One of the biggest hurdles for people is fear of finance, mechanical and communication to mention but a few your videos go a long,long way to alleviating those fears for people who lets face it REALLY want to do what your doing.

      Leigh Dearle look forward to that, maybe you could explain how the whole patreon works, that would be fascinating for everyone. As you know some people can rent out their houses or sell their businesses to finance such a trip or maybe they take regular breaks to fly back home and work to replenish finances what story’s have you heard from your fellow travellers. Maybe one idea that could be helpful is if you could give a rough idea of what you have spent yearly? maybe chart out the monthly fluctuations that occur during that year? We have followed you from the start and seen the many breakdowns, accidents, purchases and the many great meals you have both had so would be nice to see how we could all budget for the same level more or indeed less. I guarantee you one thing, given the current circumstances a lot of people are re-evaluating their lives and loss of freedom at this moment maybe you should seriously consider a book! DVD even.

    Excellent video mate. Super informative with excellent hands-on experience on what does and what hasn't worked for you guys! I often use offline google maps and various free topo map apps for my trips in Australia, though I'm sure this is not an option in many of the countries and remote locations you have visited on your travels. Keep up the great work, I'm very keen to get back out in the bush once the restrictions are somewhat relaxed... Cheers from lockdown 😃

    fantastic video and good advice. i am using mapsme (previously mapswithme) and osmand since their beginning. just wanted to add one thing: you forgot to mention that both of them rely on openstreetmap, where basically every traveller can contribute tracks, waypoints and the like. Once you upload your tracks to openstreetmap they will appear in osm based apps like mapsme, osmand in a couple of weeks. so you can both rely on other travellers experiences and contribute to the ones that follow your steps. take care and stay safe!

    As you mentioned 'Defender' ... You may have a look to Navigator by mapfactor (I'm not related to them ;). In there you can set different car profiles which include a speed definition... we do have eg one profiler for the Series III and one for the Defender. Series profile is set to no highway, the Defender is set to max speed on highway to 90km/h ... often this does result in a different routing than it would be calculated as 130 on highway for standard car... : navigatorfree.mapfactor.com/en/
