EV CHARGING MADE EASY If you own an EV, you know how frustrating it can sometimes be to charge. AmpUp makes charging easy by enabling building and property owners to provide charging for their residents, workers, or people just passing by – seamlessly and hassle free. People like you! FIND CHARGERS NEAR YOU Find chargers nearby or on your route, see if they are available, and even reserve them ahead of time. Bookmark favorite chargers or enable notifications for when an occupied charger becomes available. Discover not only AmpUp powered chargers, but also chargers from other networks. CHARGE WITH A QUICK SCAN Just scan the AmpUp QR code on the charger with the app’s QR reader to start your session in seconds. Or check into a charger reserved at a location in advance. Some locations require special access, which you can request from the charger’s host. PAY IN APP OR SCAN RFID Pay using a credit card or with a card in your phone’s wallet. Save your payment method so you can charge quickly and easily on any of AmpUp’s thousands of chargers. You can also link your existing RFID card or badge - or request a new AmpUp RFID card - to swipe and charge quickly without your phone. COMMUNITY POWERED Each charger host sets the prices and policies for their chargers. AmpUp makes the policies and pricing transparent for drivers, so you can see what charging speed you’re getting and what you are paying per minute or kWh of charging. REMOTELY MONITOR AND GET NOTIFICATIONS See how your charge is progressing right on your phone. Get notified when your session is done. Know exactly what you’re paying and how many kWh you have added to your vehicle. See charging session history and receipts. PRICES AND FEES Hosts set their own prices and policies, and AmpUp handles payments on their behalf. Hosts sometimes set up idle fees, which promote charger availability by encouraging drivers to vacate the parking space after charging. Get push alerts before idle fees start with a reminder to move your car. PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT AmpUp provides customer support for drivers. If you have an issue, our support staff can get back to you within 24 business hours to address your charging or billing issue. Note that prices and idle fees are set by hosts, and AmpUp does not have any control over those fees or policies. BECOME A HOST Make money and help take polluting internal combustion cars off the road by installing AmpUp-enabled chargers at your place of work or residence. Charging your car using AmpUp is only the beginning - get the app and become a host!
Climber Map

Climber Map shows you the wall you're standing in front of. Crags are drawn where they actually are — outlines surveyed on site, with every route as a point on the rock. Zoom in and the names and grades appear. Tap a climb for photos with the line drawn on it, its grade and length, and how to walk in. WHAT YOU GET • Wall outlines and route locations surveyed in the field • Photos of the rock with the route line drawn on it • Approach notes, parking, and trails on the map • Grade, discipline, and length on every route • Search across every climb and crag that forgives typos • Filter by type and grade, with a live count of what matches • Bookmark routes so you can find them again • Log ascents and see how much traffic a route gets • Your own position, on the crag map BUILT FOR THE CLIFF Download a destination once and its map and route data live on your phone. No service at the trailhead is fine — the map still draws and search still works. Your bookmarks and logbook sync when you're back in signal. CURRENTLY COVERING Rumney, New Hampshire — more than 790 sport and trad routes across 50+ crags, from the Meadows to the Main Cliff. This is a young app with one destination surveyed so far, and more on the way. The routes in it are ours: measured on the ground, not copied out of another database. An account is required so your bookmarks and logbook follow you between devices. You can delete it, and everything attached to it, from inside the app.
