Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The proposed workflow prioritizes the iPhone’s pressure sensor, uses GPS as an anchor or fallback, and surfaces confidence through the instrument panel. Its example route runs from Aspen to Independence Pass over 19.8 miles and 4,180 feet of climbing, with the summit marked at 12,095 feet. Trips are intended to remain on the phone and sync through the user’s iCloud, with GPX export and no Low Pass account or server.
