British Hills (Tablet)

Display an augmented reality (AR) topographic terrain view from any of the 8000 hills listed in the hill data database maintained at 'http://www.hills-database.co.uk'.

Browse and display the details of individual hills, then select the annotated 3-D panoramic view option to create a representation of the 3-D surrounding topographic terrain (up to 30Km) with labelling of the visible hills. The panoramic display can be automatically updated via the device sensors to provide an augmented reality (AR) overlay view of the surrounding terrain in conjunction with the rear camera.

Simply point your device and the terrain is displayed and the visible hills are labelled on the terrain view. Other similar apps only account for the line-of-sight hill direction without considering the actual terrain between your viewpoint and a hill location, where nearer hills tend to obscure further away hills, irrespective of height. This app calculates the hills that are actually visible based on location and surrounding terrain.

Does not require an Internet connection to display terrain view (since you're not likely to have one at the top of a hill), all hill / terrain data is stored within the app.

The list of hills can be browsed manually, searched by name and filtered based on hill-type e.g. Marilyn etc. The filtered hills can also be displayed on a scaled map view (requires Internet connection), that allows for adaptive zooming i.e. more hills are shown as you zoom in.

Note: Requires 'Google Play Services' App
