I've read some poor reviews and I don't agree. It's fast and accurate for me. Lost one star because I live in Tenerife, and neither Tenerife or the Canary Isles are included in the long list of downloadable areas. Hopefully it's included in Spain, but it's nowhere near Spain. Add it to the list please!

Easy to use, works great for the English Lake District fells. I really like the ability to save a photo of the mountains with the labels above them.

Maybe worked for a second, but now it thinks I'm looking the opposite direction (shows E when facing W). If I face E it will show tags for peaks BEHIND me. Yay

PeakLens is a novel Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality app for mountain lovers, hikers and trekkers. It is the result of years of research in artificial intelligence and computer vision, based on a novel algorithm that identifies mountain peaks in real time with high precision. Its core is a software component that compares what you actually see in the camera of your mobile phone or tablet with a virtual panorama, created from a digital 3D landscape model of the Earth. By matching what you see and the virtual panorama, PeakLens automatically corrects most errors that come from the imprecision of the compass and GPS sensor, giving you always the most accurate peak positioning.

RESOURCES
- Digital Elevation Model: the digital elevation model of the SRTM project (https://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm) is used for calculating panoramic views.
- Peaks: the Peaks dataset is extracted from Openstreetmap.com.
OpenStreetMap is open data, licensed under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL).

PeakLens is a research result of Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informatica e Bioingegneria.
