PeakNav

PeakNav shows you the world's mountains in 3D — as if you were standing there.

Pick any place on Earth and PeakNav rebuilds the landscape around it from real
elevation data: ridges, valleys, glaciers and summits, each peak labeled with
its name and height. Turn the view with a finger, or just point your iPhone at
the horizon and let the motion sensors aim the view where you are looking.

WORKS OFFLINE
Download an area once and everything works with no connection at all — perfect
for the summit, the trail, or the airplane window. Elevation, peak names and
map data are stored on your device.

NAME THAT PEAK
Wondering what you are looking at? Center your position with one tap on the
location button and compare the labeled 3D horizon with the real one. Around a
quarter of a million summits, towns and villages are searchable by name on the
device, in their local spellings too — Großglockner, Grossglockner and Monte
Bianco all work.

YOUR HIKES IN 3D
Open a GPX track from Files, Mail or any app's share sheet and see the whole
route draped over the terrain — every switchback, every col, the way it
actually climbs. Then fly the route as a tour, seek bar included. Great for
planning tomorrow's hike or reliving today's.

A REAL SKY, AND A WAY AROUND EVERY PEAK
Sun, moon — with its phase — and stars stand where they really do for the date,
time and place you are looking from, with the compass points marked on the
horizon and an optional sky map with an astronomical grid. Tap a summit and
choose orbit to circle it and see it from every side.

PHOTOS KNOW WHERE THEY WERE TAKEN
Choose a photo and PeakNav flies you to the exact spot it was shot from, so
you can finally put a name on that summit in the background.

SATELLITE AND MAP IMAGERY
Drape the terrain in satellite imagery — USGS Imagery Topo or NASA Landsat —
choose the source you prefer, or add your own tile provider (any https tile
URL).
