Glacier Park ChatWell my dreams of getting rich by writing an iPhone App have just been shot to hell!
But these two apps are really cool and I thought some of you all might be interested.
http://www.peakfinder.org/
http://peaks.augmented-outdoors.com/
I had an idea for something very similar to the peaks.augmented-outdoors app. I think they both are pre-loaded with a database of peaks, so they don't require an internet connection, so they would work in the backcountry.
I'm not one for carrying a cell-phone in the backcountry, but if it had an app like this I might reconsider!
PeakFinder iPhone App.

Re: PeakFinder iPhone App.
I just downloaded Peakfinder for my ipod touch.
I think this app sucks as it did not find me any peaks to bag near my home here in northern IL.

Hmmmm, well while I can understand your frustration, I think you may have been expecting a bit more from this app than it's capable of!poky5mom wrote:I downloaded it as well & no peaks here!
I think what you're looking for is something more like the transporter beams on Star Trek. Or maybe the holo-deck on Star Trek the next generation!

Well then, MattB, don't you think maybe you should be working on that instead of this lame non-peak finding Apple app?mattB wrote: Or maybe the holo-deck on Star Trek the next generation!
