Welcome to the dizzying world of AccuTerra: the iPhone’s titanic terabyte app (see Figure 5-1 ). “I want this app to help people plan their trips, view their trips, and share them. I want it to enhance that experience of being in the outdoors,” says Witonsky. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
