NaturalistTripper
Plan trips around the wildlife you might actually encounter.
NaturalistTripper combines iNaturalist, eBird, and GBIF records with season, route, area, and target-species planning so you can understand biological possibility before you go.

05:48Pre-trip
NaturalistTripper builds a route. Place caches geology and ownership.
-
06:24On the ground
Montana Field Guide opens to species accounts without signal.
-
10:30Capture & log
Photographs land in Lightroom. Flyway Birding logs the count.

eveningPublish
GeoPlace tags every photograph. iNat Publish Pro batches the day.
Move from a map pin to a realistic species picture.
NaturalistTripper is designed for travel planning, field preparation, and species discovery rather than live navigation.
Search a point, area, route, or target species
Build plans around a destination, a drawn area, an imported route, or the best places to look for a specific species.
Focus on what is likely now
Use date-aware records, taxon filters, confidence context, and source selection to reduce long species lists to something useful for the actual trip.
Save and export the plan
Create saved plans, wantlists, offline references, route files, checklists, and trip dossiers for use before and during travel.
Multiple biodiversity sources, with their differences left visible.
- iNaturalist observations
- eBird records and hotspot data
- GBIF occurrence records
- Weather, terrain, route, and map context where enabled
- Occurrence records describe past observations, not guaranteed future presence.
- Sampling effort differs among regions, taxa, seasons, and data sources.
- NaturalistTripper supports planning and discovery but is not a navigation or safety system.
Common questions.
Do I need accounts for iNaturalist, eBird, or GBIF?
Public occurrence data can be explored without signing in. Optional account connections and API credentials can unlock additional personal or source-specific features.
Does a species list guarantee I will see those species?
No. The list is an evidence-based planning estimate derived from historical records, season, geography, filters, and source coverage.
Can I use NaturalistTripper offline?
Saved plans and downloaded materials can support offline field use, while new searches and some live data require connectivity.
Plan the natural history of the trip, not just the route.
