Identify more than a million hills & mountains all over the world and get a detailed profile for each one of them, including altitude, topographic prominence, mountain range, what national parks or reserves it may belong to, as well as photos and Wikipedia articles. It is one of the most useful Augmented Reality technology applications on the market today.
● 3D Maps

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. To help you plan your route we’ve included points of interest in our 3D Maps such as mountain huts, parking lots, cable cars, viewpoints, castles, etc.
● Everything works Offline
Internet connection is not a prerequisite for the PeakVisor app. All the data is downloadable and ready for use no matter where you are or what altitude you might be at.

The app force closes with the latest update. Unusable in its current for with Android Pie. Great app before aside from the compass, which never automatically aligned – always had to manually adjust it. Update: Developer fixed the app after becoming aware of the issue. Compass is currently tied to the magnetometer hardware of the phone.
Was previously using View Ranger which was far superior. This app claims functionality without a signal but this isn’t accurate. You must DL the area in advance for it to work. Even with a signal, you have to wait on the DL & use data to identify a peak. Too slow of a process during a hike.
Cannot open the app. It keeps asking “enable location access”, but I cannot enable it
Such a cool app to have! Very very easy to use. Just point it at the landscape and it accurately tells you what mountains and peaks are there. I was hesitant to get it because of the bad reviews, but it is awesome. Highly recommended if you like learning the names of local mountains.
