Terrain intelligence
The mountain in true 3D, with the layers that change the decision.
A route is easier to judge when the terrain is not flattened into one stroke. Traverse puts slope angle, aspect, elevation bands, flat ground and the sun on real 3D relief. Below is the live map; fly it anywhere in the world.
The short answer
Traverse combines 3D terrain with slope angle, aspect, gradient, elevation bands, flat zones, LiDAR relief where published, recent snow cover, glacier intelligence, route analysis, weather, hazards and offline regions.
Read the shape before the route
Use the 3D map to see ridges, gullies, bowls, approaches, runouts and transitions. Then use slope, aspect and elevation bands to understand how the line behaves.
Add the changing context
Layer SnowSight, GlacierIQ, weather, avalanche areas, rockfall and condition reports around the route. Keep sources, dates and limitations visible in the decision.
Carry the same plan outside
Save the route and waypoints, download the relevant region and move from web planning to iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch workflows.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Traverse's 3D maps different?
The 3D terrain is the base for route analysis and contextual layers, rather than a standalone visual preview.
Does Traverse have slope angle and aspect?
Yes. Slope angle, aspect, gradient, elevation bands and flat zones are core terrain layers.
Can I use 3D maps offline?
Traverse supports offline regions on supported mobile clients. Download and verify the area before departure.
