Teriscope

About this app

Teriscope is a free GPS map for New Mexico's backcountry — one map that shows what the land is doing, who owns it, and what the sky is doing, so you can plan your own way out there. THE MAP • 1-meter LIDAR terrain, statewide — some of the sharpest elevation data published for NM, rendered in 3D with peaks that look like peaks • Private land ownership at the parcel line, with owner names where records provide them • Corner-crossing and landlocked-public-land layers to help you see where public meets public • GMU boundaries, wilderness areas, roadless areas, and USFS/BLM roads • Offline maps for the whole state — trails, parcels, lakes, roads — downloaded to your phone before you lose signal FISHING • Wetfoot Stream Access — New Mexico stream segments of interest to anglers, drawn as robin's-egg "trout highways" (1 CFS and up), with flow data. Access rules vary and records can be wrong — confirm before you go. • Tap any river for its story, plus flow and water temperature from USGS gauges when available • Stocking records where NMDGF reported stocking in the last two weeks, with species counts • Whitewater and float runs with class ratings, put-ins, and take-outs TRAILS & RIDING • Thousands of NM trails with difficulty ratings and honest two-sentence writeups drawn largely from community data • Hike/Run and Bike modes with curated bikepacking routes • Record your tracks, then share them as clean stat cards — distance, vertical, difficulty • Plan routes, drop pins, navigate to anything WEATHER • NEXRAD radar — a composite statewide view, or tap any radar dome for super-res detail • Lightning strikes that fade over ten minutes, storm cells with hail and rotation data, when the data is available • See active wildfires with perimeters and the firefighting aircraft working them • Wind flow animation, forecasts, and near-surface smoke HUNTING • GMUs, ownership, walk-in access, and terrain built for glassing country in 3D SKIING • Winter mode with terrain relief tuned for reading lines All of it free. No subscription, no paywall, no feature gates. New Mexico only — for now. Information, not protection. Teriscope shows you data from public and community sources that can be wrong, coarse, or out of date — it is a planning tool, not a safety device, a warning system, or a substitute for official sources, your own eyes, and your own judgment. Alerts and forecasts may be delayed, incomplete, or absent, especially with no signal. In an emergency, call 911 or use your device's SOS. Built by people who fish, ride, and hunt here. Data from USGS, NHD, NMDGF, USFS, BLM, NOAA/NWS, and adsb.lol.

1.9 — the map reads like paper. Trail names now flow along their trails — placed once, steady as print, appearing from zoom 12 and filling in as you lean closer. Behind them, a statewide data pass healed hundreds of broken and doubled trail lines. • Small communities are back on the map — nearly 18,000 of them nationwide, from Abiquiu to the smallest crossroads. • Rivers, creeks, and lakes appear earlier and read cleaner; seasonal streams wait their turn so the map stays calm. • Roads lead with their route numbers — US 84 before its ceremonial name. • Motor Vehicle Use Map routes arrive after the road network, with seasonal closures marked and details one tap away. • Night mode polish: readable labels, luminous water, white tools, and a zoom + coordinates readout on every mode — handy for telling us exactly where something looks wrong. Plus dozens of fixes from daily field testing.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
