There are a number of new features that we would like to add to the website. One of these features is to update the skyline view to present the display from the height of the object. For example, if the user selected mount whitney, CA the view would display from 14K feet ( or a little higher ). this would display a "birds eye" view of the summits near the selected feature.

Another option we are thinking of is to allow the user to select the view height. that way, the user could see the mountains and summits that are behind some of the mountains in the foreground. This would almost present a view as seen from an airplane in some ways. This should not be too difficult and we hopefully we can add this feature to the site in a few weeks or so.

Mountainpeaks.net is a website that displays a variety of objects based on the users point of view. The site shows a map of the location along with all the nearby objects such as mountains, rivers, streams, valleys. There are over 70 objects that the site can display. Along with the overhead map, the website also shows a skyline view of the surrounding area. This will help the user identify named mountain peaks and summits from there location. This will greatly help in answering the age old question "what is the name of that mountain".

The site also allows the user to select objects on the map and in the skyline view and see information about that site. The user can easily change the object they are interested in. Example, the site initially shows summits and mountain peaks within a certain radius of the users location.

The site allows the user to search for objects by city location or by the name of the feature object. Take a look around the site. There are currently over 1,800,000 features contained in the database for objects and features within the US. We are planning on adding international information in a month or so. Please enjoy our site.
