Know the terrain before you leave the road. Lokimaps brings official topographic maps of Finland, Sweden, Norway and Spain to your iPhone and iPad, along with worldwide outdoor mapping, and lets you download them for the places where mobile coverage ends. Plan a route at home, save the area to your device, then follow your line and record the trip. Whether you hike, hunt, fish, paddle, ski or cycle, Lokimaps is made for people who like to read the map and make their own plan. PLAN YOUR OWN ROUTE Draw a route, drag its waypoints and check the distance before you set out. Measure distances, bearings and areas on the map, then save the plan or start navigating straight from the planner. With PRO and a connection, Lokimaps can also calculate walking, cycling or driving routes along trails and roads. TAKE IT OFFLINE Download your trip area before you go. Without mobile data, you still see your GPS position, follow saved routes and tracks, head for saved places and record your journey. FIND YOUR WAY THERE AND BACK Follow a planned route or imported GPX track, or get direct guidance to a saved place like your car or camp. See the distance remaining, get an alert if you leave the route and reverse it for the trip back. On supported devices, a Live Activity shows navigation progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. REMEMBER WHERE YOU'VE BEEN Record GPS tracks and review trip statistics. Save campsites, fishing spots and other places worth returning to, then organize places, routes and tracks into folders. Import and export GPX, and turn on iCloud sync to keep saved items on your devices signed in to the same Apple Account. FIELD TOOLS Search places, addresses and coordinates in all supported formats. Display and copy WGS84 coordinates and use degrees without PRO. PRO adds grid coordinates such as UTM and MGRS, plus NATO mils and Finnish piiru. Adjust GPS accuracy to balance precision and battery life. INCLUDED WITHOUT PRO Pick one main outdoor map during setup: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Spain or Worldwide. Without a subscription you also get: - Offline downloads of your chosen map - GPS track recording - Following saved routes and GPX tracks, plus direct guidance to saved places - GPX import and export - Saved places, routes and tracks in folders, with optional iCloud sync LOKIMAPS PRO PRO opens the full map collection and specialist tools: - Every main map, with compatible country maps combined so you can cross borders without switching - Finnish aerial imagery, property boundaries and historic maps, plus Finnish and Norwegian nautical charts - Registered Norwegian hiking trails with available difficulty, surface and marking details - Image layers: photograph or scan a paper map, match four landmarks and use it offline - Calculated walking, cycling and driving routes - Compatible WMS/WMTS maps and WFS layers, plus Layer AI to help find public map sources - Oma riista hunting areas offline in Finland - Start group location sharing, protected by end-to-end encryption. Your position updates in the background while you record a track. PRO is an optional auto-renewable subscription with monthly and yearly plans. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Good to know: online search, route calculation and location sharing need a connection. Apple road and satellite maps, historic maps and custom map sources can't be downloaded for offline use. Image layers stay on the device where you add them. Map and layer coverage varies by source. Nautical charts are for reference, not navigation. Background GPS use can reduce battery life. Pick your map, save your area and plan your next trip. Privacy Policy: https://www.lokimaps.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.lokimaps.com/terms

Avyline is an offline 3D terrain planner for backcountry skiing. Draw your line, see how steep it gets and how much of it sits in avalanche terrain, compare alternatives and export the plan — all with zero cell signal. The angle under your feet, the steep ground ahead and the official avalanche forecast, on one map. PLAN YOUR TOUR • Draw a route and read its elevation profile, avalanche-exposure percentage and estimated time (a range, never a single number). • Corridor analysis breaks the line down: continuous steep sections, overhead steep terrain, terrain traps, aspect rose and elevation-band distribution — terrain facts only, never a safe/unsafe verdict. • Compare two routes side by side on the same facts. Add backup routes, typed waypoints (observe / decide / turn around) and No-Go zones. • Simulate sun and shade by date; export the plan as a PDF or image card with map attribution and a timestamp footer. • Reuse a plan as a template for a new date (forecast and sun reload). Import routes from other tools — GPX free, plus KML, KMZ and FIT with Pro. • Browse curated classic lines and community ski tours (free where regions have them); load one into the planner with Pro. FREE SAFETY, ALWAYS ON • SlopeGuard reads the slope under your feet; turn alerts on (off by default) for a one-time warning when you enter terrain steeper than your threshold. • Look-ahead radar scans the terrain in your direction of travel and flags steep slopes before you reach them. • Avalanche hazard highlighting paints dangerous terrain onto the 3D map, driven by the official forecast's elevation-band rating when one is available. • Slope warnings, look-ahead radar, hazard overlay, the slope heatmap, terrain exposure and official forecasts are free forever — never paywalled. OFFICIAL FORECASTS, SHOWN HONESTLY • Avalanche danger ratings from official public warning services (avalanche.org member centers, SLF and EAWS partners), broken out by elevation band — in the regions those services cover. • Ratings expire automatically at their validity end. "No rating" is its own state — never shown as "low danger." • Every forecast shows its source and publication time. TRUE OFFLINE 3D • Each region (~5–40 MB, sized to area and resolution) packs high-resolution terrain, aerial/satellite imagery, contours, hillshade and place names — downloaded once, usable forever without signal. • Slope, aspect, contours and shaded relief rendered at 60 fps by an in-house engine. • The Terrain Exposure layer classifies avalanche terrain into three in-house grades (1–3), computed on-device and honestly labelled as not an official rating. • Search peaks, passes and huts; save your own waypoints. FREE VS PRO • Free: one downloaded region, the entire safety base above, and a taste of planning — draw one route with its profile. Safety is never paywalled. • Pro (a single annual subscription, $4.99/year): the full planning toolkit — corridor analysis, A/B route comparison, backup routes with typed waypoints and No-Go zones, sun & shade simulation, plan-card export (PDF/image), templates, curated classic routes in the planner, forecast alerts, KML/KMZ/FIT import, tree cover and unlimited plans — plus the aspect, contour and satellite layers and every region worldwide, fully offline. IMPORTANT Avyline is a decision-support tool, not a substitute for formal avalanche training, a current official forecast, beacon/shovel/probe or your own judgment. Corridor analysis and profiles report terrain facts only — they never assess snow stability or issue a safe/unsafe verdict. Terrain angles come from digital elevation data with finite accuracy, which the app discloses openly. Travel in avalanche terrain at your own risk.
