Description
Meridian is an offline-first iOS app designed for people who camp, travel remotely, and prefer to keep control over their location data. It allows you to record campsites and tracks you discover, store them locally on your device, and choose if and how they are shared.
Meridian is built to remain usable when mobile reception is limited or unavailable, with a focus on practical mapping, privacy, and reliability rather than public crowdsourcing.
Whether you keep your locations private or selectively share them with others, Meridian provides a considered way to document where you have been and plan where you are going.
