Camper App is built around one simple idea: make life on the road easier, safer and more enjoyable.
And many of our best features start with feedback from the people who actually use Camper App.
You asked. We listened.
We’re excited to introduce two major additions: First Aid for the whole family and one of our biggest upgrades yet vehicle-aware Turn-by-Turn Navigation powered by Mapbox®.

First Aid for the Whole Family, Including the Furry Ones
When you're travelling, help isn't always just around the corner.
Our new First Aid section puts practical guidance at your fingertips for those moments when something goes wrong, from cuts, burns and bites to sprains and other common first-aid situations.
And because we know that for many of you, an adventure wouldn't be an adventure without your four-legged passenger, we've created something especially for them too.
🐾 Dogs have their own dedicated First Aid section, with useful guidance for common first-aid situations involving your furry travelling companions.
Whether you're on a campsite, halfway through a walk or exploring somewhere more remote, practical first-aid information is now right there inside Camper App.
Turn-by-Turn Navigation, Built Around What You're Driving

This is a big one.
Your car isn't your motorhome.
Your motorhome isn't your campervan.
And your car certainly isn't the same vehicle once you've hitched a caravan behind it.
So why should you have to keep swapping navigation systems?
With Camper App, you can save multiple vehicles and touring setups inside the app. When it's time to navigate, simply choose the vehicle or rig you're using and let Camper App calculate your journey around that setup.
🚗 Taking the car? Select your car.
🚐 Heading away in the campervan? Select your camper.
🏕️ Taking the motorhome? Select your motorhome.
🚙 Hitching up the caravan or trailer? Select your towing setup.
Then let Camper App do the rest.
Your route can take into account important vehicle information including height, width, length and weight, details that might mean very little in an ordinary family car, but can make a huge difference when you're driving a large motorhome or towing a caravan.
Because the quickest route for a car isn't necessarily the right route for your rig.
Your Vehicles. Your Routes. One App.
Imagine this.
You leave home on Friday in your motorhome, or hitch the caravan to you car and navigate to your campsite using your saved profile.
Saturday morning, you're heading out for the day in the car, bike etc.
Switch profile. Select your destination. Go.
Your different vehicle profiles stay inside Camper App, ready whenever you need them.
No repeatedly entering dimensions.
No swapping between different navigation apps.
No separate navigation system just because you've changed vehicle.
One app. Multiple vehicles. One place for your adventures.
More Than Just a Line on a Map
This isn't simply route planning.
Camper App brings the familiar features you'd expect from modern navigation directly into the app, including:
🔊 Spoken turn-by-turn directions — keeping your attention where it belongs: on the road.
🗺️ Live route guidance — follow your journey as you travel.
⏱️ Live ETA and journey information — know how you're progressing and when you're expected to arrive.
↪️ Upcoming manoeuvres — see what's coming before you get there.
📍 Stops and waypoints — because a great road trip isn't always simply A to B.
💾 Saved routes — plan an adventure, save it and have it ready when it's time to go.
And it's all sitting alongside the other Camper App tools you already use when you're touring.
Why Buy and Carry Another Device?
For us, this is one of the most exciting parts.
A dedicated motorhome or caravan sat-nav can mean another device to buy, another device to charge, another cable on the dashboard, another set of maps to keep updated and another thing to remember before you leave.
Camper App puts vehicle-aware navigation inside the app that's already built around your camping and touring life.
Your car. Your camper van. Your motorhome. Your caravan. Your routes.
One Camper App.
Powered by Mapbox, Serious Automotive Navigation Technology
Of course, building navigation like this means the technology behind it matters.
We didn't want just another map.
That's why Camper App navigation is powered by Mapbox a global mapping and location technology platform whose technology is already being used across the automotive industry.
And we're talking about some serious names.
BMW. MINI. Toyota. General Motors. Rivian.
Mapbox technology isn't simply being used to put a map on a screen. It forms part of real navigation and location experiences being developed and deployed by major automotive manufacturers.
BMW and MINI have integrated Mapbox technology into next-generation navigation experiences, including sophisticated mapping, routing and in-car navigation.
Toyota has selected Mapbox technology for its next-generation navigation experience, including the 2026 RAV4, with broader deployment planned across future vehicles.
General Motors has used Mapbox Navigation technology as part of its Maps+ in-vehicle location ecosystem across brands including Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac.
And Rivian is among the automotive manufacturers Mapbox identifies as having vehicles on the road using navigation systems built with its technology.
That's the calibre of technology sitting behind Camper App's new navigation experience.
But we're taking it in a direction specifically designed for our community.
Navigation for the way campers actually travel.
A car one day.
A campervan the next.
A 7-metre motorhome heading across the country.
A family car suddenly several metres longer because there's a caravan hitched behind it.
Different vehicles. Different dimensions. Different journeys.
Camper App lets you save those setups, select what you're travelling in and navigate accordingly.
That's what makes this more than simply adding a map to Camper App.
We're building navigation around the way you actually travel.
Camper App Is Getting Even Better
First Aid and Turn-by-Turn Navigation aren't simply two more features.
They're another step towards something much bigger:
Making Camper App the app you reach for before you leave, while you're travelling and when you arrive.
Plan your journey.
Select your vehicle.
Navigate.
Find somewhere to stay.
Access First Aid guidance.
Explore.
And enjoy the adventure.
No second sat-nav. No swapping systems. One Camper App. Every vehicle. Every journey.
Camper App — built for life on the road.
