As cell coverage in the mountains is not always sufficient, all topographical maps can be saved for offline use and so can be used without relying on cell coverage! The appβs crowning feature is the large and ever-growing database of tours.
You can use the tour planner at ortovox.com from the comfort of your own home, to follow the descents along routes with the mouse, set waypoints, add to descriptions and upload images.
Once youβve saved and published the tour it will appear in the ORTOVOX ALPINE TOURING APP (community registration necessary).
For the highest possible safety, it is possible to access key data from the avalanche status report, upload it and use it on location to analyze risk.
In the topographical maps you can set waypoints and view the live height profile for your planned tour.
It is even possible to track your tours! The readout gives you information on completed routes, height and duration of an expedition.
The maps can be used anywhere in the German, Austrian, and South Tyrolean Alpine regions for determining position and for orientation during tours.
By inputting the warning level, slope angle and slope aspect, you can get a safety recommendation based on the data from the DAV Snowcard.
The tour descriptions provide you with all kinds of interesting facts, including height profiles.
In emergency situations the emergency alarm function can be used to connect to a rescue center, with your current position displayed on-screen.
Anyone who wants to improve their knowledge concerning avalanches can do so with the aid of the Safety Academy Lab from ORTOVOX.
Also on board: With the summit finder you can access a live image on your iPhone showing all surrounding summits.
The map is available both online and offline, and is presented differently for the Alpine region according to the season.
ORTOVOX stands for mountain sports β mountains are our passion.
