Point your camera at a landmark on the horizon (eg. Hill Mountain Road Lake Building) and see:
- Name of the landmark
- Distance
- Altitude
- Map of surrounding area
- Wikipedia info
- Directions to landmark

Or use 3D Map mode:
- See terrain 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
- 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 pressing "autoalign" to calibrate the compass.

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 names lakes or forests the names & designations of roads and many buildings.

Wikipedia Information will be displayed for anything that has an English Wikipedia article with a location.
