Field notes
The examples move between a Chamonix horizon forecast, a 41 × 27 km Mont-Blanc relief view, and a 5 × 5 km Lac Blanc terrain sample. The page names IGN LiDAR for France and swissALTI3D for Switzerland, and describes slope layers alongside route previews with time-specific shadows. It also describes offline map tiles and screen-off track recording, though its coming-soon labels leave present app availability unclear.
