PeakNav drapes satellite imagery, trails and place names over a real elevation model of the whole planet, then lets you look at it the way you look at a mountain — from the valley floor, from the summit, or from the air.
Peaks, named and measured
Every summit is labelled with its name and elevation as you move through the terrain. Mountain ranges, islands, lakes, glaciers and alpine huts are labelled too.
Trails and roads on the slopes
Footpaths, roads and rivers from OpenStreetMap are projected onto the 3D shape of the mountains, so you can see where a path actually goes before you walk it.
A real skyNew
The sun, the moon with its current phase, and the stars are drawn where they really are for your location and time. Compass points sit on the horizon, and a full sky map can be overlaid.
GPX toursNew
Load a GPX track and follow its path through the terrain — a hike you have planned or one you have already done, replayed in 3D.
Fly there, or orbit itNew
Tap any point to fly to it in a smooth animation, or choose "orbit around" to circle a summit and see it from every side.
Point your phone at the horizon
On Android, the gyroscope and compass turn the view with you: hold the phone up and the peaks in front of you are named on screen.
Tag your photos with the summits
Take a photo in the app, or open one from your gallery — its position is read from the EXIF data — and PeakNav overlays the names of the mountains in the picture. Share it as JPEG or PNG.
Search any place or peak
Find towns and summits by name in any language — "Venezia" and "Venice" both work — with elevations shown for peaks. Or type in coordinates directly.
Works offline
Terrain and map data download per area and stay on the device, so the app keeps working on the ridge where there is no signal.
