CitySpotter AR

Window seat? Point your iPhone through the plane window and CitySpotter shows you the names of cities, towns and villages below, with exact distances — live in augmented reality, fully offline. It works just as well from the ground: a mountain summit, a coastal road, a train, a motorway, or a city viewpoint. CitySpotter checks whether a hill or mountain blocks the line of sight between you and a place — if it's hidden, it stays hidden; if it's visible, it appears. Climb higher, and more of the world opens up. The only app that knows what you're actually looking at. — — — HOW IT WORKS Other apps show cities based on compass direction alone. CitySpotter does more: it uses real terrain data to check whether the ground itself is blocking your view. All in real time. All offline. No data sent anywhere. — — — ALSO ON A PLANE The altitude slider now reaches airplane cruising altitude, and motion mode is steadier in cars, trains and planes — built for a real window seat, not just a theoretical one. — — — 12 COUNTRIES, 41,000+ PLACES Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States (split into East and West packs). From major capitals to small villages, Alpine hamlets, and islands. Each country downloads as a separate pack — install only the ones you need. — — — PERFECT FOR - Hikers and climbers on a summit - Travelers in a window seat - Road trippers, drivers and train passengers passing through new landscapes - Tourists exploring a coastline, a valley or a city viewpoint - Geography, panorama and outdoor enthusiasts or photographers — — — WHAT'S INSIDE - 41,461 places across 12 countries (13 downloadable packs) - Satellite-derived terrain elevation data - Augmented Reality overlaid on your camera, smoother in cars, trains and planes - Fully offline — no data sent anywhere - Radar minimap with adjustable radius up to 120 km, now showing coastlines and national borders - Altitude preview — simulate standing higher and watch distant places appear - Sun & Moon alignment for precise orientation - Population filter — choose what appears, from small towns to major cities - Collapsible AR controls — — — FREE CitySpotter is free.
