About this app

Beyond Horizon – What's beyond your horizon?

Point your phone in any direction and instantly find out how far the nearest coast is – and which country lies beyond the water.

🌊 HOW IT WORKS
The built-in compass detects your heading. Beyond Horizon calculates the distance to the nearest coastline and the land on the other side – completely offline and instant.

🗺️ FEATURES
• Real-time distance to the nearest coast
• Country and region on the other side of the water
• Recognises seas, oceans and major lakes (North Sea, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean, Lake Constance …)
• "On the Water" mode: shows your sea name and nearest coast ahead
• Open found coast points directly in Google Maps
• Camera AR mode: coast info overlaid on your camera view
• Manual mode: set direction freely by touch
• Works worldwide – fully offline

📍 PERFECT FOR
• Travelling along the coast or on the water
• Ships, ferries, cruises
• Curious minds everywhere in the world

🔒 PRIVACY
Beyond Horizon stores no personal data. Your location is used exclusively on your device and never transmitted – no account required, no tracking.
