Hiking and Skiing - PeakVisor5.116 - App Store

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.”

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

Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains. 5.112 Sep 8 • Route times that learn your pace. After a handful of your own recordings, the estimated time for a planned route adapts to how you actually move on climbs, descents and hard trails, hiking and ski touring separately. Off-trail ski touring climbs get an estimate for the first time.

AR shots come out shaped for sharing, with the PeakVisor badge.
• Drone photos import at the right scale. A 2× zoom shot no longer lands with the terrain at half size, and photos whose metadata only records the physical lens are no longer stretched to an impossible field of view.
• Smoother zooming, with momentum kept where it used to be trimmed.
• Fixes throughout, including offline map downloads that no longer stop partway.

Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains. 5.107 Aug 22 • Local guides. Where a tourist board publishes routes, the place screen behind Your Next Adventure now shows all of them: difficulty, distance, climb, how long each takes, what it passes on the way, and the route in 3D. Filter by activity, and it reads properly in dark mode.
• Photos in your fly-over videos come out upright, and in the colours you shot them in.

• Offline maps that actually finish. Downloads no longer stall or fail partway, and where they used to crawl they are now dramatically quicker.
• Take as many maps as you need. The Offline Maps panel is rebuilt around free space: see what each region costs, watch the megabytes as it downloads, and clear out what you're done with.
• Better peak labels on imported photos, so they no longer land on people. Photos taken outside PeakVisor now line up with the terrain properly too.
• Denali and Mauna Kea in official topographic detail. The National map option now covers Alaska and Hawaii, and works offline like everywhere else.

Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains. 5.105 Aug 19 • Get started in three steps. After signing in, PeakVisor now walks you through claiming the hikes you've already done, planning your next one, and saving the area for offline use. The first step reads only where your photos were taken — never what's in them — and turns past trips into logbook entries.
• PeakVisor now speaks Turkish. Our fifteenth language, throughout the app.
• Austria in proper topographic detail. The whole country now uses the official 1:50,000 series — contours, glaciers, rock detail, huts and marked trails. South Tyrol joins as our first Italian coverage, and Swiss maps reach further across the border.
• Photo and fly-over video export are free. Save and share what you make, whether or not you subscribe.
• Search that gets out of your way. Recent places are readable again, filter chips sit right above the keyboard, and tapping through to the full peak page works as it should.
• Fixes throughout. Dates follow your language's own order and clock, Apple Health reconnects after restoring a device, "See in 3D" works from destination screens, coordinate searches mark the exact spot, and the menu reminds you when no maps are saved for offline use.

Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains. 5.104 Aug 11 • Find places faster. Search now opens right over the map instead of taking over the screen, and as you type it suggests handy filters. Tap "Mountain huts" or "Drinking water" and both your results and the map narrow to just that kind of place.
• Local travel guides. Redesigned destination screens with the highlights worth your time and links to the official local guides, now covering many more towns and villages across Norway.
• Emergency Assistant now speaks Polish. A full Polish translation of the emergency and first-aid guides.
• Request the maps you want. Where an official national map isn't available for your area yet, you can now register your interest so we know where to add coverage next.
• Smoother and steadier. A gentler camera flight to the place you picked, plus performance work, crash fixes and localization updates throughout.

Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains. 5.103 Jul 24 • Smoother 3D map gestures. Tilting, zooming and rotating with two fingers no longer fight each other; the map picks up your intent faster and stays out of your way.
• National maps, polished. The style card now names the right country near borders (looking at you, Sweden and Finland), map tiles refresh themselves when the source cartography is updated, and crossing into another country's coverage announces whose maps you're seeing.
• More of coastal Norway. Local travel tips now cover 36 more destinations along the coast, from the Helgeland ferry ports all the way to Svalbard.
• Stability. Fixed two rare crashes: one in Visual Stabilization on the newest iPhones, one when rotating the phone with a peak panel open in AR.

Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains. 5.102 Jul 12 • Climbing POIs. Crags, boulder areas, ice lines and climbing gyms now appear on the map. Tap one for the rock type, grade range, climbing styles and route count whenever we have them.
• Emergency Assistant, expanded. The right emergency and mountain-rescue numbers for many more countries, offline first-aid guides for the situations you're most likely to meet on the trail, your coordinates read aloud in both your language and the dispatcher's, and an offline map of the nearest shelters.
• Steadier augmented reality. On the latest iPhones, peak labels and silhouettes stay glued to the mountains more tightly as you move. You can turn Visual Stabilization on or off in Settings.
• New map styles. Switch between Satellite, Topo and National topographic maps from one place.
• Trail posters now show the date you actually did the hike, not the day you made the poster.
• Performance work, crash fixes and localization updates throughout.

Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains. 5.101 Jul 8 Emergency Assistant — the screen we hope you never need.

The mountains are kind most of the time. But when something goes wrong - a twisted ankle at dusk, a wrong turn in the fog, a battery sliding toward empty - the next few minutes matter. Emergency Assistant is one tap away, works offline, and is built around what you actually need in that moment.

• My location, ready to read out loud. Your coordinates in a format you can speak clearly over a crackling phone line - and share by SMS or message in one tap.
• Call for help, anywhere. The right emergency number for the country you're standing in - plus mountain rescue direct lines where they exist.
• Battery and daylight, at a glance. How long until sunset, how much charge you have left, and what to switch off to make it last.
• Nearest shelter, fully offline. The closest mountain hut or bivouac from our database, with distance and bearing - no signal required.
• Tell someone. Send your exact location to a trusted contact by SMS, even on a weak signal.
• No cell signal? Step-by-step guidance for Emergency SOS via satellite, plus the international whistle code and ground-to-air signals.
• First aid basics for the situations you're most likely to meet on the trail.

We hope this screen stays unused on your phone. But if the day ever comes, it's there.

Stay safe out there. 5.100 May 26 British Grid comes to PeakVisor — our biggest update for the UK.

• British National Grid, built in. PeakVisor now speaks Ordnance Survey grid references — the same ones you already use on printed OS maps and in walking guidebooks.
• Search by grid reference. Got one from a guidebook or a friend? Type it straight into search and jump right to the spot.
