See the Terrain, Don’t Imagine It

Outmap’s immersive 3D maps let you tilt, zoom, and rotate terrain in real time — so you actually see the slope you’re about to ski, the ridge you’ll traverse, or the couloir you’re eyeing.

Gaia’s hillshade view? Still mostly flat.

Outmap gives you the mountain, not the outline.

Built for the Backcountry

Every layer, every pixel, every feature is designed for people who plan their days around weather windows and avalanche bulletins.

Slope-angle shading
Aspect maps
Realistic elevation rendering
High-contrast layers for tricky alpine travel

Outmap doesn’t just show trails — it helps you understand the terrain.

Smarter Satellite Choices

Some Gaia maps look great in Colorado but blurry in BC. Others shine in summer but are useless in snow. One satellite source, one look.

With Outmap, you can switch imagery providers instantly — Maxar, Mapbox, and more — so your map always looks its best, wherever you are.

Simplicity That Works Offline

No internet? No problem.
Outmap lets you download detailed map areas with one tap — no buried menus, no guessing which layers you’re getting.

Plan at home. Explore offline. Sync later.

Designed for the Backcountry

While Gaia was built for general outdoor use, Outmap is for those who go further.
If you spend your weekends skinning up glaciers, scouting new lines, or linking ridges in wild terrain — this app was made for you.

“Outmap feels like what FATMAP should have become.”
