About Vertex Maps

Best paragliding weather and maps on iPhone. Vertex puts mountain weather, terrain, routes, a flight log and activity tracking on one map for paragliding, backcountry skiing, and trail days. EXPLORE WITH VERTEX FREE • Explore online satellite, terrain, elevation and winter basemaps. • Check trails, public lands, motor-vehicle routes, backcountry huts, slope angles, avalanche forecasts, airspace and TFRs, and wildfire information. • See temperature, surface wind, gusts, precipitation and cloud forecasts in 3 hour steps across the full available range, where the selected model has coverage. • Check current weather, snow, air-quality and stream-gauge readings and the latest observed radar and lightning. • Record ground activities and import GPX, FIT, TCX, IGC, KML, KMZ and ZIP files. • Review elevation profiles, activity statistics, heart-rate data, photos and XC scores. Measure distances, draw routes manually, and save places and webpages. • Gather your sites, stations and NWS forecast discussions in one Weather Brief. • Sync personal activities, markers and lines across devices with your free account. PLAN FURTHER WITH VERTEX PRO One monthly or annual subscription covers Pro tools across paragliding, ski and trail modes: • Download maps and supported terrain layers for use without service. • Build and edit routes that automatically follow trails. • Use Photo Basemap to align your photos with terrain and turn them into map overlays. • Point your camera at the mountains with Terrain AR to see ridgelines, slopes and peak names over the live view. • Get detailed 1 hour forecasts where available, soaring and snow forecasts, smoke forecasts, winds aloft, the thermal diagram and airgrams. • Play radar history, nowcasts and forecasts, and browse dated satellite imagery. • Review station history where supported. Your existing downloaded maps, saved photo overlays and personal routes remain viewable when Pro ends. Current observations and forecast coverage depend on the source; not every station has history. Offline downloads contain supported map layers, not all live weather or airspace updates. Pro subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Prices and any eligible free trial are shown before purchase. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. Vertex requires a free account using a one-time code sent to your email. Weather, terrain, avalanche, trail, and airspace information may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate. Vertex is a planning tool, not a substitute for official forecasts, NOTAMs, avalanche bulletins, local knowledge, or your own judgment.

What’s new

Version 1.7 · Updated October 21, 2026

What's new in 1.7 • Glide area: in Measure, drop a point and tap Glide to see everywhere you can glide from it, colored by glide ratio from 3:1 to 10:1. The path routes around ridges, and Glide reads the real ratio to the crosshair, out to 20:1. Set a start height above launch. • XC Potential (Pro, Paragliding): a 0–5 cross-country rating map with hazards shaded, and a crosshair readout that names what's limiting the day. • Terrain AR rangefinder: aim at any ridge or peak, live or in a photo, for its distance, height difference, elevation and glide ratio. • Daily chart: whole-day cards over the hourly forecast, running past your model's range on RRFS and GFS. • Step a day at a time from the timeline's ends; nights are shaded on the timeline and charts. • A new, lighter wind palette for Wind and Gusts, with clearer state lines and coastlines over weather. • Fixes and polish throughout.
