Hi everyone,
I’m an indie developer working on a new map app for backcountry offline use. I’ve been testing it myself, but would love to have more users try it out. It’s in beta currently (free) and available in the US on iOS devices.
Here is the link to the app (iOS only) https://testflight.apple.com/join/7aNBVs94
My goal for this app is to make offline a priority so its much easier to do things like –
– Look up stats for a specific location on the route. Super easy to get answers to questions like – How much further to the fork? What’s the eta to the lunch spot? How much daylight hours left? etc
– For established trails you can just tap on it to see stats. For more complicated routes you just draw on the screen with your finger.
– Lookup information for side trails like distance, elevation gain etc.
– Switch between routes easily even when offline
– Get your bearings using the AR feature that shows you a realistic 3D view of the terrain. Works really well when you’re in the mountains.
– For social media creators there are some play modes you can use to render a view of terrain. Some examples on instagram here @kijimaps
Hope I can convince you to try it out. Please do share any feedback!

Note: you’ll need to install the TestFlight app first to access the app. It’s currently free, but to manage running costs, I’ve capped the number of installs. If you encounter any issues with installation, please send me a direct message, and I’ll get you in as soon as I can.
