Mountain ID helps you identify mountains by pointing your iPhone at them. Names appear overlaid on the landscape through your camera, with distance and elevation when you focus on a peak. HOW IT WORKS • Grant location and camera access when prompted • Stand outdoors with a clear view of the sky and the peaks you want to identify • Point your phone at the mountains in the distance • See labels anchored to peaks in augmented reality WHAT YOU GET • Real-time mountain names in your camera view • Distance and elevation for highlighted peaks • A list of nearby mountains you can browse and adjust • Search radius and display options in Settings • Accuracy indicators to help you know when location and compass readings are reliable BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS Mountain ID works best outside with a clear line of sight to peaks. GPS and compass quality improve away from large metal objects and buildings. For the most accurate labels, allow the app a moment to calibrate after you arrive at your viewpoint. DATA Mountain information comes from OpenStreetMap community data. Coverage and detail vary by region. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone with ARKit support • Location and camera permissions • Outdoor use recommended Mountain ID is a tool for exploration and learning not a substitute for navigation, safety planning, or official mountaineering guidance. Always follow local rules and your own judgment in the backcountry. Questions or feedback? Contact us at support@kippisstudios.com.
