rakkup 41.0

rakkup is a mobile application that provides access to a diverse collection of climbing and backcountry skiing guidebooks directly on your iPhone, even in areas with limited cell phone coverage. Once guidebooks are downloaded, they can be used offline without requiring an internet connection. This innovative app offers detailed trail navigation, guiding users to their climbing destinations with precision and ease.

Developed in collaboration with Outdoor Research, rakkup modernizes the concept of traditional guidebooks for smartphone users. Through partnerships with acclaimed publishers like Beacon Guidebooks and Wolverine Publishing, rakkup offers comprehensive guidebooks enriched with vibrant color photos and topographical drawings. Users can explore sample climbs and ski descents at no cost.

Browsing through a curated selection of climbs and descents is effortless with rakkup, as users can visualize routes on a map or opt for a preferred list format. The app enables quick filtering and searching capabilities, allowing for efficient navigation using the phone's GPS functionality. For climbers, rakkup facilitates route planning by continuously computing the optimal path through the trail network from the user's current location, ensuring a seamless journey to the desired climbing spot.

It is important to note that during active navigation to a climb, rakkup utilizes GPS services in the background. Users should be mindful that prolonged use of GPS in the background may significantly affect the device's battery life.
