Talus Maps
Hunting, LiDAR & Offline GPS
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Lidar slope, low-angle hillshade, shadow projection and viewshed maps - all fully offline.
Know the Ground. Own the Hunt.
Talus turns raw terrain into an advantage. Built for hunters and backcountry travelers who want to read the land before they ever leave the truck, Talus layers high-resolution LiDAR, the maps you actually hunt on, and immersive 3D — all fully offline when you're miles past cell service.
SEE THE TERRAIN LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Our bare-earth LiDAR engine renders the real shape of the land on your device:
• Slope shading - spot benches, saddles, and bedding terrain at a glance
• Hillshade & low-angle light - reveal subtle ridges and drainages
• Sun & shadow modeling - see exactly where light falls at any date and time
• Local Relief Mapping - pull out micro-terrain other maps flatten
VIEWSHED LINE-OF-SIGHT ANALYSIS
Drop a pin on a glassing knob, stand, or camp and Talus computes what you can actually see, a live visibility map out to ~2 miles, green for visible, red for blocked. Find the glassing points and shooting lanes before you climb.
FIRST-PERSON 3D + AR
Walk the country in immersive first-person 3D terrain with draped trails and named peaks. Then step outside and hold your phone up: AR mode labels the peaks and your pins right on the live camera view.
THE OVERLAYS YOU HUNT ON
• Hunting units / GMUs - filter by species and state
• Public land - federal and state boundaries
• Private land - parcel boundaries with landowner names (where available) so you know who owns the ground
• Detailed water - creeks, springs, and lakes
• Walking trails, contour lines, and current + historical wildfire perimeters
Tap any feature for its details. Overlapping geometries each get their own tab.
TRULY OFFLINE
Download any area for base maps, your overlays, AND LiDAR terrain so slope, shadows, and 3D keep working with zero signal. Pick your resolution and go dark.
EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT
• Precise place search - peaks, towns, streams, and lakes, fully offline
• Custom pins with notes, shareable links, and elevation + distance readouts
• GPS track recording with multi-source barometric + LiDAR elevation
• Pin-to-pin route building snapped to the trail and road network
• Measure distance & area
• Compass rangefinder to accurately place pins while glassing
• 2D/3D terrain, satellite and topographic base maps, live elevation
Talus is free to download and try. Talus Pro unlocks LiDAR visualizations, viewshed, first-person 3D, premium overlays, offline downloads, and place search.
