Description

Point your camera at a landmark you can see on the horizon (eg. Mountain peak, Road, Lake, Building, Airplane) and see:
- Name of the landmark
- Distance from you
- Altitude (& relative to you)
- Map of surrounding area
- Nearby towns and cities
- Wikipedia info for any landmark with a Wikipedia page
- Altitude, destination, flight number, airspeed of any commercial airline plane
- Directions to landmark (opens in google maps)
- Street view for where you're pointing (opens in google maps)

Or use 3D Map mode:
- See terrain and hills laid out in front of you
- Move phone to fly around the map
- Roadmap / satellite / hybrid
- Search & display 3D-maps for anywhere worldwide
- Distance, altitude and landmark names
- Markers on hill & mountain peaks
- Infinite scroll

Horizon Explorer works worldwide, but works best on top of a hill with an unobstructed view of your surroundings. You can drag the horizon line with your finger to line up with the camera if the automatic tracking is not working very well. Or try waving your phone around in the air in a figure 8, then press "align using compass" to calibrate the compass.

Live airplanes: Enable planes from the settings menu, then point at a plane to see the flight number, origin, destination, altitude and current airspeed of any commercial airline plane you can see.

If you are in a tall building, or otherwise not standing on the ground, enable "Tall Building mode" and optionally set your altitude using the slider.

Horizon Explorer will show mountain & hill peak names, lakes or forests, the names & designations of roads, and many buildings.

Wikipedia Information will be displayed for anything that has a Wikipedia article with a location set on the article.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Seriously great app! We live on a city mountain side and always wonder whatcertain lights and buildings in the distance are and this is the tool forjust that.
1 ★Totally incorrect every time.
5 ★Very cool concept and it works perfectly on my Pixel 2 XL
5 ★What the...??? 😀 Can I rate this 5 stars without even checking out the app?
5 ★Legit!!! I love how AR is being used in this app
4 ★This is pretty cool! Although, I wish it had more features. Like settingsto change the unit measure from meters to miles. Also it would be nice tomark a locations on the AR map to calculate distances and be share thepoints to the Google Maps app to provide directions how to get there. I canreally see Google Maps utilizing this someday. Just saying. Other thanthat, it is a great useful tool!
5 ★Not bad. Can be useful to ID tourist building. Remember to calibrate your company as needed however.
5 ★Crazy cool! A bit buggy but thats to be expected from something so new, keep up the good work!
2 ★After latest update app crashes on trying to open.
3 ★Ok so I was just prompted by my antivirus (Bitdefender Mobile) to uninstall this app. Antivirus warned of suspicious behavior, following the yesterday's update. Actually that is the first warning like that that Bitdefender showed for any app (meaning that there are not a lot of false positives). What is going on?
4 ★interesante aplicación de realidad aumentada aunque no pude sacarle un mejor provecho. la usabilidad no me pareció tan intuitiva. espero que siga mejorando para volver a instalarla.
1 ★Location shouldn't be necessary
