Tap a label for photos and facts, open Wikipedia, or Navigate to walk there with your maps app.

What it labels

Not only peaks. Pick the places you want.

Towns and villages, valleys and passes, lakes, viewpoints and huts — turn each kind on or off in Menu → Labels → Categories, and set how far labels reach, from 1 to 50 km.

Only what you can actually see gets a label, and labels never overlap: the more important place keeps its label. Pinch to zoom and more appear.

Questions

Before you head out

More answers on the support page, or write to [email protected].

Can I choose what gets labelled?

Yes. Menu → Labels → Categories turns settlements, peaks, hills, valleys, passes, lakes, viewpoints and huts on or off, each on its own. The Distance slider sets how far labels reach, from 1 to 50 km.

Do I need a connection?

Only to fetch an area the first time. Download areas ahead in Menu → Data sources → Offline areas: choose a place and a radius, and the places and terrain are stored on the phone.

The labels are not where the places are

aligns north from the compass and by matching the skyline to the terrain. If the compass needs it, a short guide asks you to move the phone in a figure 8. You can also tap Align, turn the phone until the labels sit on their places, and tap. Keep away from metal and magnets.

Why does a place have no label?

It may be hidden behind terrain, give way to a more important place nearby, be further than the Distance setting, belong to a category you switched off — or not be in OpenStreetMap yet.

Which phones does it run on?

An iPhone with iOS 16 or later, and Android 7.1 or later on phones that support ARCore. needs the camera, your location and the motion sensors.
