Description

PeakVisor will make you a champion of mountain navigation, putting state-of-the-art Peak Identification, 3D Maps, Trails, and outdoor GPS tracking into the palm of your hand. Our app is a one-stop shop for all your mountain adventures: hiking, skiing, climbing, mountain biking, and more. But PeakVisor is more than just another outdoors app; it’s an immersion into a carefully crafted 3D world that will give you an unprecedented understanding of the nuances of a mountain’s terrain. “PeakVisor uses your iPhone’s camera and augmented reality (AR) technology to display names and elevations of nearby peaks. The information will appear on your phone like magic.” - App Store, Take the Trail Less Traveled Here’s a brief orientation on the tools we offer to get oriented in the mountains: ● 3D Maps As human athletic achievement progresses in the mountains, so does the technology to assist your adventures. With PeakVisor, you unlock the topo maps of the future; our cutting-edge technology with high-precision terrain modeling offers deep insight into the mountain landscape of your choice. With one glance, you be blessed with years of knowledge about an area’s terrain. ● Identify Peaks Identify more than a million mountains, hills, buttes, spires, and more from all over the world, with a detailed profile for each of them! Our app shows you altitude, topographic prominence, mountain range, national parks or reserves, as well as photos and additional Wikipedia articles. ● Plan Hiking Routes A vast network of worldwide hiking trails and walking pathways included in PeakVisor’s 3D Maps will help you compose a hiking route which includes evaluating the distance you can expect to hike as well as a route’s elevation profile and estimated time for completion. ● Skiing In winter mountain sports, PeakVisor’s topographic 3D Maps allow a visual understanding of the terrain and provide detailed information about mountain lifts, ski resort trails, and backcountry ski touring routes. The app also offers features such as winter mode and a slope steepness overlay to identify avalanche terrain on your route. ● Cable Cars and Mountain Huts are inlaid onto our 3D Maps, complete with schedules. This is especially useful in Europe, where many objectives involve a cable car ride to gain some altitude, lest you want to do some genuinely punishing climbs. And you haven’t experienced the old-world mountain culture until you’ve had a memorable meal and night at a rustic mountain hut in the high country. ● Peak Bagging The app offers monthly climbing challenges and Peak Bagging competitions to keep the motivation where it needs to be…UP. ● Animated Flyover Videos You can even initiate a ‘Flyover,’ our visually stunning animations that give you a token video of your route to show family and friends or inspire some memories down the road. ● GPS Tracking Track any outdoor adventures, whether hiking, skiing, mountain biking, etc. Post-adventure, you can visualize your route in the miniature 3D world, check out stats like distance and elevation gain, and export a GPX file of your new route. ● Lock-Screen Navigation ● All Features Work Offline PeakVisor is the Swiss army knife for outdoor adventure, one that you will soon find indispensable while in the mountains.

  • Useless

    Only one usage per day, but it counted my initial setup as a “use.” So I downloaded it onto my other phone, and… it didn’t do anything. What a waste of time.
  • Hiking and biking

  • Waste of money

    You have to download maps before you loose cell phone signal, then if you hike more than 20 miles you dont have maps for your new area. I often had problems of the app not finding the Largest Peak in a range or in a further range behind closer hills. Not worth the money and i was more frustrated with it always not having maps. Only useful if you are in cell phone range with a single peak to id.
  • Can font be enlarged?

    Maybe this works if you buy the pro version but it does t work without cell service. Which is pointless if you’re in the mountains.
  • Rip Off

    So expensive. Standard issue pay $5 for nothing useful. $89 for the full app and the only version anyone would ever use. Don’t waste your money.
  • My goodness, it has updates every few days!

    I just don't understand why this app has so many updates. I'm glad I didn't pay for it because I'm deleting it now. Too many other apps out there which don't require updates as often as this one. Very irritating! Goodbye, you have been fired! The tribe has spoken!
  • Not great

  • Searching could use work

    Navigating and searching in general is somewhat difficult. It only has peak names, and not all of them and doesn’t list county, or even state. So for common named peaks, there are many results and it’s not obvious which one is being referred to. And then navigating around in the immersive map, you can’t zoom or move very quickly, so it’s hard to orient yourself. For example “buck mountain” just says “USA, Northwest US Coast Ranges”. I’m not a geography expert so it’s hard to tell for me if that’s in the northwest, or the one in coastal California. It’s not BTW ,the one I was looking for is peak=buck-mountain-gygryif5 which is 2000+ft shorter. Which doesn’t show up in search at all, even though it shows as a peak in the immersive map. You also can’t just search for a region, and see a list of peaks there. So you really have to know the exact name of the well known peak you’re looking for. Also, even though I’m paid subscriber, there’s a red dot and a floating palette that say “limited free tier.” Trying to subscribe just shows the subscription window with my current plan and the monthly option, and restore purchases doesn’t seem to do anything. So unless you’re doing really serious mountains, it’s kind of hard to use for planning or visualizing regular person hikes.
