What's inside: the offline survival library, maps and tools

This page shows what is on every OffGridOne, app by app, with real screens from a development unit: the library, the maps, the tools, and how you add more. It also says what the device does not have.

Last updated

What is on the device?

Every unit has Ask, which answers from the library or the built-in AI, one search box across the library, offline maps, tools such as Translate, Plants and Morse, and a few everyday apps. It runs a stripped-down Android 15. (OffGridOne)

Below is every app on the home screen, in the order the device shows them. Each one has its real screens, captured from a development unit on November 11, 2026, and what we checked on that unit. (Read from the device)

Ask

Ask it a question. Type or talk.

Ask in your own words. It reads the library on the device first, then writes an answer, and tells you whether the answer came from the library or from the AI itself. When another app on the device would help, it says which one. It is a reference, and it can be wrong.

  • The AI runs on the device itself. The model is IBM Granite 4.0-H-Tiny.
  • Fifteen questions asked with every radio off took 24 to 57 seconds each. It is not instant.
  • Every answer ends with a label: FROM THE LIBRARY, with the book and page, or OWN KNOWLEDGE.
  • An answer can open by naming other apps on the device that help.

Maps

The map is already on it.

A world map, street-level maps of the United States and the UK, and contour lines for the backcountry. Jump to any coordinate, switch between a military grid and latitude and longitude, and mark where you are. GPS needs no cell signal once you turn Location on.

  • A world map, plus street-level maps of the lower 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii and the UK.
  • Contour lines for the United States and the UK.
  • MGRS or latitude and longitude grid, and go-to by coordinate.

Plants

Point it at a plant. Get a likely name.

Take a photo and it suggests the likely species, with the Latin name and how sure it is. Treat it as a good guess to check, not an answer.

  • 75,929 species in its list.
  • The app itself says to treat a match as a guess, and to check before you eat anything.

Read from a development unit on November 11, 2026.

A likely match is not a positive identification. Never eat a plant on the strength of a photo match.

Translate

  • A red night mode.
  • A fix from the stars or the sun is good to about 100 to 300 km. In the app’s own words: "the region, not the street".

Position without GPS

No GPS? It still has a best guess.

Mark where you are on the map and it keeps a best-known position with an honest uncertainty circle. A walking estimate carries it forward by your steps, and Sky Map can take a rough fix from the stars or the sun. It is a backup, not a replacement for GPS.

  • The uncertainty circle is drawn on the map.
  • A fix from the stars or the sun is good to about 100 to 300 km.

You can read any of it with no connection. Use the search box to look across all of it at once. You do not need the AI to search.

Where does the content come from?

Much of it comes from open projects and public sources, such as the English Wikipedia, OpenStax textbooks and government manuals. Each source has its own license and its own terms.

Wikipedia text is licensed CC BY-SA, which allows reuse with a license notice (Wikipedia reuse terms). OffGridOne is not affiliated with Wikipedia and does not use its logo. The device has a Licences screen that names the models and software it runs on.

How do we know what is on it?

We plugged a development unit into a computer on November 11, 2026, and read it: its apps, its files and its own screens. The counts on this page were counted on that unit, and every screen shown is a real capture from it. (Read from the device)

  • The screens are captures, set into a picture of the device in code. None is redrawn.
  • Two short recordings are cut for length, and say so on screen. The rest run at real speed.
  • A few screens are still missing: a Plants result, camera translation and the Store catalog. They need the device in hand, or Wi-Fi.
  • A development unit is not a production unit. We will check a production unit against this page before orders open.

What do the maps do?

The maps work offline. You get a world map, street-level maps of the lower 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii and the UK, contour lines for the United States and the UK, an MGRS or latitude and longitude grid, go-to by coordinate, tracks and saved points. (Read from the device)

  • More country packs are in the Store.
  • Tracks save as GPX files, and Compass is its own app.
  • GPS uses GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo signals, per OUKITEL (OUKITEL spec sheet). These need no cell service.

Read more in the GPS guide. Keep a paper map too.

How do I find my way without GPS?

The device shows a best-known position with an uncertainty circle and a walking estimate. It can also give a rough fix from the stars or the sun, good to about 100 to 300 km. It is a fallback, not a replacement for GPS. (OffGridOne)

The walking estimate drifts about 8% of the distance walked, by its own account. Sky Map has a red night mode that is easier on your eyes after dark. A paper map and a compass are still worth carrying. (Read from the device)

How does the AI use the library?

It reads the library first, then answers. Under each answer it marks whether the answer came from the library, with the book and page, or from the AI itself. You can also search and read the library with no AI at all. (Read from the device)

Some people would rather read a real guide than ask an AI, and that is a fair choice. In our own test, most answers came from the AI itself and not from the library. Read how the AI works, and where it stops, on the AI Survival Engine page.

How do I add apps or map packs?

Through the Store. It is optional and works over Wi-Fi only. You buy apps, updates and map packs with a code and a QR. Only apps signed by OffGridOne install. (OffGridOne)

What things cost, and how often updates come: Placeholder, waiting on the owner:how updates work.

Other devices can connect to the device: Placeholder, waiting on the owner:other devices can connect: confirm.

What does it not have?

It has no Play Store, no Google services, no ads and no accounts. GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth start switched off, the device starts silent, and nothing phones home. It is not a way to call for help, and it has no satellite messaging. (OffGridOne)

  • There is no OffGridOne logo or name on the handset. The units are stock OUKITEL WP60 units.
  • It is big and heavy, the screen is HD+, and the AI takes time to answer: 24 to 57 seconds, measured on a development unit on November 11, 2026.
  • The Camera app has no night vision mode.

See the specs for the full list.

What is on the device at the time you buy is listed on the what is inside page.

Does it show where its answers come from?

It marks each answer as coming from the library on the device or from the built-in AI. You can also search the library yourself and read the full page.

You can see what is in the library on the what is inside page. The answers on this site were captured from a development unit on November 11, 2026, and each one shows that label.

Does it replace a paper first-aid book or a paper map?

No. Keep paper copies too. Ready.gov’s supply list includes reference material such as a first aid book.(Ready.gov)

This device can be one kit item beside them. A battery can run down and a screen can break, and paper does neither.

Can I install apps on it?

Yes, from the optional Store on the device. There is no Play Store, and only apps signed by OffGridOne install.

The Store works over Wi-Fi only. What things cost, and how often updates come: Placeholder, waiting on the owner:how updates work

What is the Store?

The Store is an optional app on the device for apps, updates and map packs. It works over Wi-Fi only, and you buy with a code and a QR.
