Planning and navigating, the key features for me were:
- high res satellite imagery available for both summer and winter
- aspect and gradient shading
- routes and tracks shared and discoverable with description, altitude graph etc. for freeride routes, ski tours, hikes (great for visiting somewhere new)
I also enjoyed things like sharing the link to the 3D overview with friends after an epic day, but that’s both more easily replaced and less valuable to me.
I’m muddling through with a whole host of apps (Maps3D, Outmap, CalTopo etc.) and have tried and given up on still more, but FATMAP was so much better than any current alternative, particularly for skiing. (Mostly in Europe, if that makes a difference.)

I'm working on https://github.com/styluslabs/maps - has Sentinel-2 imagery, slope angle shading and custom slope shading including slope aspect.
Sounds interesintg, I'll take a look, thanks!
