CalTopo is a web-based mapping tool for backcountry professionals, offering detailed topographic maps, slope shading, and route planning. It is used by search and rescue, ski guides, and land managers. It lacks mobile audio navigation and real-time safety alerts, and is more of a planning tool than an in-activity guide.
