About PeakVisor

PeakVisor points your phone's camera at the landscape and labels the summits in view, either in real time or on a photo you have taken. It also shows hiking trails on 3D terrain maps, so you can see where a route climbs and descends before setting out.

The app also covers ski maps with ski resort information, sun and moon trails, and importing photos to label peaks after the trip. Some features need a PeakVisor Pro subscription, which is also sold as a lifetime option.

Strengths

  • Augmented reality identification of peaks through the camera
  • 3D maps that show the shape of a hiking route
  • Can label peaks on photos taken earlier
  • Ski maps and sun and moon trails

Limitations

  • Some features require the paid Pro tier
  • Mobile only
