The "AR Map World Peaks" app, now renamed, offers a convenient way to identify mountains using your Android device. By simply pointing your device at a mountain, you can view its name, altitude, and distance. With data from nearly one million peaks worldwide, this app provides comprehensive information. Even if you tilt the camera, the name is displayed on the mountaintop using 3D coordinates and a gyroscope, ensuring easy visibility. Additionally, a guideline in the shape of the ridgeline helps accurately match the position of the mountaintop. You can also switch to a 3D view by pointing your device downwards, allowing you to see the sky from a different perspective. The app also enables you to check the terrain and mountain names visible from any specified location on the map. Furthermore, you can capture pictures with the mountain name and share them on social media or via email. All these features are available for free.
To ensure accurate direction display, it is recommended to remove any covers or cases with metal or magnets that may interfere with the device's sensor. This will prevent any malfunctions, such as constantly displaying the wrong direction, particularly when the north is involved.
