Peak Names: Mountain Finder AR

Peak Names tells you which mountain is which. Hold up your phone and the names of the peaks in front of you appear over the camera picture, with their height and distance.

It does not just list every summit within a radius. The app works out from the real terrain which peaks you can actually see from where you stand, and which ones are hidden behind a ridge, so the names stay on the mountains you are looking at.

SEE THE NAMES
• Names, heights and distances of the summits in view, on the camera or on a drawn skyline
• Well-known peaks first; choose Major, More or All to show fewer or more names
• Turn the phone sideways for a wide panorama
• Hold the view, lower your phone and read the names at your leisure

LINE IT UP IN ONE TAP
Phone compasses are often off by a few degrees. If the names sit beside the peaks, tap a name, then tap the real summit in the picture: everything moves into place. No need to wave the phone around and hope.

FIND ANY PEAK
• A list of every named summit in view, with direction and distance
• Pick one and an arrow on the camera shows which way to turn
• "View from top": see the panorama from any summit before you climb it

SUN OVER THE RIDGE
Today's sunrise and sunset over the actual mountains around you, not over a flat horizon, and the Sun's path drawn on the skyline. Handy for the first light on a summit or for knowing when the valley goes into shade.

SHARE THE VIEW
Take a photo with the peak names on it, save it or send it to friends.

WORKS OFFLINE
Download an area once (usually around 10 MB) while you have a signal. After that the names, the skyline and the camera view work with no connection at all, which is where you need them. No account, no sign-in, no ads.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Try it anywhere: famous viewpoints in the Alps and in Vietnam are built in.
• Accuracy depends on your phone's compass and GPS. The terrain model has 90 m detail around you and 180 m further out, so very sharp summits come out a little low.
• The app is not a navigation tool. Always carry a proper map in the mountains.
