What do I get with Lifetime Map Access?

You get access to the full Yellowstone and Grand Teton wildlife planning map, including park selection, route planning, wildlife entries, species filters, field notes, directions, and future map updates. Seasonal planning tools are coming soon and will be included with lifetime access.

How is this different from a normal map?

A normal map shows roads. This map helps you decide how to use those roads for wildlife planning. You can choose a park, pick a route, filter by wildlife, read entries and field notes, and use directions to plan a better first move.

Can this help me choose between Yellowstone and Grand Teton?

Yes. The map covers both parks and lets you start by choosing Yellowstone or Grand Teton. That helps you focus the map around the park, route, and wildlife day you are actually planning.

Does the map include routes?

Yes. Route planning helps you choose a starting direction instead of staring at the whole park at once. Routes are meant to help you plan a smarter drive, not guarantee a sighting.

Can I choose the wildlife I care about?

Yes. You can filter by species so the map focuses on the wildlife you care about, including moose, bears, bison, elk, wolves, birds, foxes, and more.

Does this help with seasonal planning?

Seasonal planning is coming soon. The goal is to help you understand how wildlife areas and routes may change through the year, so your plan matches the time of year you are visiting.

Does this guarantee I will see wildlife?

No. Wildlife moves, weather changes, roads close, and timing matters. The map helps you plan with better context, choose stronger starting areas, and move through the parks with more purpose.

Is this live wildlife tracking?

No. This is a wildlife planning map, not a live animal-tracking system. It is built around entries, field notes, habitat, timing, routes, and practical context so visitors can plan better without sending everyone to the same animal.

Can I use the map while I am in the park?

Yes. You can use the map on your phone or computer before your drive, at lodging, or while planning your next move in the park. Cell service changes by area, so open the map while you have a strong connection. It is best used before you head into low-service areas.

What happens after checkout?

After checkout, your access opens through your account. Use the Wildlife Map link on the site to enter the full map and start planning.

What if the map does not help my trip?

You have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Use the map for your trip. If it does not help you plan with more confidence, email within 30 days and support will take care of it.
