Augmented reality for the backcountry
Peak.AR is a free augmented reality app for the Android and iPhone platforms, that allows you to identify distant peaks by simply pointing your phone’s camera at them. Pretty cool huh?

Hey What’s That goes mobile
It’s been quite a while since I wrote about Hey What’s That?, a website that helps you identify mountains on the horizon. Well, today comes news that they have a mobile app for Android and iPhone (here is their mobile FAQ). So I tweeted about it and @CompeGPS turned me onto…
Peak.AR
Peak.AR (iTunes link) is a free augmented reality app that looks much better. There’s a screenshot at the top of this post (note that both English and German languages are supported). It’s limited to the iPhone now, but an Android app is expected by the end of February.

July 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
The first turn-by-turn iPhone navigation app for North America featuring on-board maps has been released by NAVIGON. Their MobileNavigator application differs from TeleNav’s AT&T Navigator in two very important ways:
- By having maps on-board, you still have navigation when you leave AT&T’s coverage area
- Mobile Navigator is available for a flat fee ($69.99 until August 15, $99.99 after that) whereas AT&T’s sticks you with a monthly fee of $9.99
