## Description

PeakFinder Chrome extension lets you explore mountains offline anywhere in the world. It covers more than 1,000,000 peaks, displays each peak name, and overlays a 360° panorama on your camera view. The experience is offline and worldwide, with no internet needed.

Features include GPS/map-based viewpoints, a digital telescope to spot less prominent peaks, the ability to fly between peaks, mark favorites, and see solar and lunar rise/set times. It uses compass and motion sensors, offers daily updates to the peak directory, and is a one-time purchase with no ads.
