Identification of peak names over a picture with PeakNav app.

PeakNav is an open source app, currently supporting Android and Desktop (through Java virtual machine), to view the world mountains in 3D and display OpenStreetMap data on top of the 3D view, as well as satellite imagery.

The focus of PeakNav is to allow users to download all local data on their devices, so that the app can be used while hiking even without internet connection.

PeakNav allows peak identification and projects ways and paths on top of the mountains, easing the exploration of routes with full 3D view of the surrounding area.

Datasets

PeakNav relies on two datasets, specifically compressed and optimized for devices with low computational power (such as mobile phones), currently hosted on HuggingFace:
