I use the app PeakFinder all the time and it’s incredible for determining what mountain is what when you’re on the go!
I used to use PeakFinder, but then it was withdrawn and the free version disabled. Now it costs $5.
This is a well polished app, which has non-trivial technical solutions (the AR view works very well and must not have been so simple to implement reliability on a miriad of different android devices).
5 dollars! C'mon.
I’d like to be able to determine the location of a landscape photo. Should be able to calculate the panorama for 5x5 mile regions of earth, and use some matching algorithms to find the closest profile to my picture. I thought about this when watching geowizard: https://youtu.be/0ZbmYh9QZgA
If you thing this is cool, also check out CalTopo (my favorite mapping software for backpacking): - https://caltopo.com/map.html#ll=40.10094,-105.61557&z=15&b=m... - Right click and select "Simulated View" - Change to "WireImagery" in the upper right
but somehow the wireimagery setting doesn't work for any of the locations I've tried. it does work for the one you linked...
Edit: oh... picked a random location in the USA instead and there it works. So... no Europe? what's up with that?
Edit 2: also no south america apparently.
