About GT Overlander
More than a route planner — a road companion
GT exists to transform overland trip planning into a simple, intelligent, practical experience — made by travelers, for travelers.
Our mission
GT Overlander is an app for people who travel overland — by car, motorcycle, 4x4 or motorhome. Born from the frustration with generic apps that don't understand the reality of someone who crosses borders, sleeps in wild campsites, or drives 5,000 km in a single trip.
GT understands travelers: the AI builds the route along roads that make sense, with cities along the way and regional context. The GT database of over 4 million waypoints in 211 countries covers what matters to those who have already decided where they're going — gas stations, accommodation, campsites, workshops, attractions. And integration with Google Maps, CarPlay and Android Auto takes everything to the car's dashboard.
More than a planner, GT is a road companion — made for those who don't see travel as just transportation, but as a unique experience.
The founder
Rangel Machado
Founder
Entrepreneur from Paraná, Brazil and traveler. He sees overlanding as one of the richest ways to know the world, and founded GT to be the app he wanted on his own journeys.
Doesn't come from a technical background. Makes product decisions, listens to the community, and works side by side with the team to turn every personal experience into an app improvement.

Getting to know travelers to build together
GT users aren't just wandering around. They've already decided to travel, know where they're going, and are in the moment of planning the route — where to stop, where to sleep, what to see on the road.
Understanding this journey — who travels, where to, in what vehicle, in what style — is what allows GT to continuously improve. Every real trip teaches something: routes that work, missing stops, regional contexts we haven't covered yet. That's where each layer of the app evolves from.
It's not a maps app. It's a living ecosystem, built together with those who travel — made to grow with the global overlanding community.
