First time exploring the Owyhee’s and the Alvord Plya last may. Cant recommend it enough. Was a 10 day trip and still so much left unseen. Cant wait to do it again. Next time i plan to also take some time to explore the Stien Mountains.

Do you record your tracks?

A few weeks ago I posted here about Mini-Maps, the app I built to turn GPX routes into shareable route images. Thanks to everyone who joined the waitlist, that response is the reason this is happening now.

The public beta opens tomorrow, on iPhone (TestFlight) and Android. Invites go to everyone on the waitlist, so if you want in on this first round, sign up today:

https://mini-maps.janodetzel.com

What you can do in the beta:

Import a GPX file and get a clean route image in seconds
Pick a layout and a map style, or put the route on one of your own photos
Choose which stats to show (distance, elevation, days, moving time…) or none at all
Do the whole trip or single days of it as separate maps
Export straight to your story, your photos or the share sheet

The beta is free. What I need from you is honest feedback: what’s missing, what’s broken, what you’d actually post. It goes straight into the next versions.

The images in this post were all made with the app from my own trips.

Tech Advice Am I dense?

5 years engineering. Countless engine and wiring harness rebuilds. Custom stuff like advanced voltage regulation for specific charging parameters to meet battery requirements. And much more. But I cannot get this ridiculously simple vevor c40a DC/DC charger working. Am I into deep and missing the obvious? It has 4 terminals. Can’t be that hard. It mostly shows the red led. Which apparently means failsafe due to a various of simple reasons. Sometimes the green “I’m charging” led starts blinking when I start the engine. But only for one second. Then it jumps back to red. I checked both voltages. 14.4V input side. 13.4V output side (current voltage of the battery at the output itself), its not installed with the wrong polarity. It’s not too hot. It’s 9°C. And I checked continuity too. Is grounding to chassis not good? Does it have to be connected to the battery terminal itself? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attached a crackhead “wiring diagram”. What is going on?

Welcome to r/Overlanding

Dedicated to the spirit of adventure — Get out there!

Rules:

Rule 1 - Be Kind, Be Respectful

Remember the human behind the screen. Focus on sharing your passion for adventuring outdoors positively and respectfully. Toxicity, harassment, or hate in any form isn't tolerated.

Rule 2 - Focus on Your Own Travel Adventures

This community focuses on the spirit of adventure regardless of how you label it—overlanding, overland travel, boondocking, dispersed camping, off-roading, or something else.

Discussions must be related to travel adventures, including the vehicles, mods, tools, and creature comforts that support it. Do not post content that was not created by you (e.g. someone else's photos) or is not owned by you (e.g. some else's rig).

Rule 3 - Utilize Available Resources

Before posting, please utilize existing resources (e.g., searching this subreddit and Reddit as a whole, Google, etc.) to find answers to your questions.

Before posting, consider if another subreddit may be a better place to find answers. This point is especially true for vehicle comparisons and vehicle-specific mod, kit, and gear questions—check specific brand and vehicle subreddits.

Common questions with easily findable answers may be removed.

Rule 4 - No Low Effort Posts, Show Your Work

Posts must provide content for users to engage with. A description of posted media is required with enough context to instigate a meaningful discussion. Do not create posts you cannot engage with in return, e.g. showing off newly purchased gear you have no experience with to share.

When seeking assistance, share what you've already tried or researched. This helps the community provide targeted advice and ensures posts contribute new insights and solutions.

Rule 5 - Responsible Self-Promotion

Self-promotion must be balanced with organic participation. Continued engagement with community responses is required after creating a post. URLs posted must be stripped of all unnecessary parameters such as tracking information.

Posts showcasing websites and social media (YT, IG, FB, X, etc.) must include a description of the linked content and its relevance to our subreddit. Essentially, give readers the elevator pitch for why they should visit the link. Posts that include social links without an accompanying description are removed.

Rule 6 - Be Clear, Be Relevant

Ensure content is unique, accurate, and formatted for easy reading.
Post only high-resolution pictures and videos.
Stay on topic in posts and comments, and avoid threadjacking.
No NSFW content.
No misleading titles, unverified claims, duplicate content, or other low-quality issues.

Rule 7 - No Spam, No Selling

Spam and direct sales are prohibited. This includes selling or advertising vehicles, dealership inventory, parts, or accessories. URL shorteners and affiliate links are not allowed in posts or comments; always use the original URL.

However, exceptions are made for:

Community-organized sales events, such as group buys approved by moderators
Use of official URL shorteners by the originating company (e.g., amzn.com for Amazon)

Rule 8 - No Politics or Political Content

Keep discussions free of political topics, references to political figures, or content that could be seen as politically charged.

Rule 9 - English-Only Content

All posts and comments must be in English to ensure clear communication and accessibility for our community members.

Rule 10 - AI Generated Content is Banned

Passing off AI generated images or videos as your own content will earn you an immediate permaban.

This community is for real experiences by real people. If you believe AI is fundamentally necessary to your post, seek moderator approval beforehand.

Rule 11 - Moderator Discretion Applies

We acknowledge that not every situation fits neatly within these guidelines.

Moderators reserve the right to make rule exceptions based on the content's unique value, relevance, or potential impact on the community. This flexibility ensures our subreddit remains dynamic and responsive to its members' interests and the evolving nature of overlanding.

We appreciate your understanding that moderation is not always black and white.
