# Mountaya: Full Reference for LLMs > The outdoor-native mapping platform for outdoor professionals. Map Studio to design race courses and touring routes. Outdoor Intelligence to query terrain, weather, and trails through an MCP server, Agent Skills, and a GraphQL API. Outdoor Tiles to add layers to your own maps. Built for race organizers, coaching platforms, outdoor apps, and data teams. Website: https://www.mountaya.com App: https://app.mountaya.com --- ## Products ### Map Studio Visual editor for designing race courses, touring routes, and resort maps with built-in terrain analysis, weather overlays, and white-label map embedding. Import your GPX or let activity-aware routing generate the path. Analyze every meter (surface, gradient, weather) on 3D terrain, co-edit the same itinerary with your team in real time, and publish or embed in minutes. **Key features:** - Import/export GPX and GeoJSON files - Activity-aware routing across 9 activity modes (hiking, trail running, running, ski touring, gravel biking, and more) - Real-time collaborative editing: several people edit the same itinerary at once, with live cursors and stakeholder sign-off, every change landing live (no conflicts, no overwrites, no exported file to reconcile) - Weather overlays: snow depth, wind, precipitation, visibility, perceived temperature (historical, live, forecast) - Terrain analysis: slope angle, aspect, hillshade, avalanche zones - Elevation and gradient profiles for every segment, with surface type and waytype breakdown - Itinerary builder with segments, aid stations, checkpoints, waypoints, and route variants - Segment restructuring: merge two segments into one, split a segment in two at any point, or insert a new segment between two existing ones without redrawing the course - Segment grouping: group a run of segments so it reads as a single leg on the map and the elevation profile, instead of a list of fragments - Trail difficulty grades: SAC hiking scale (T1 to T6) and mountain bike technical grades on every segment - Draft and published course states: keep editing in a private draft while viewers, athletes, and embedded maps continue to see the last published version - Map styles: satellite, topographic (summer and winter) - Time-aware layers: scroll through past conditions or preview forecasts at any point along a route - 3D terrain visualization - AI-assisted editing (available to every organization with its own AI credentials): move segments, swap overlays, and rebuild routes from a natural-language prompt, on top of the manual editor **Route Intelligence:** - Smart routing: set your activity and the route follows the right terrain automatically - Itinerary generation: set sport, target distance, elevation gain, and start/finish to generate route options - Surface and waytype analysis: see what's underfoot at every point - Time and distance matrix: compare travel times between every checkpoint, aid station, or access point - Reachability zones (isochrones): see how far a runner, hiker, or rescue team can travel from any point in a given time **Map Embedding:** - Race sites, coaching dashboards, resort portals: drop a branded, interactive map with elevation profiles, live weather, and zero maintenance. White-label ready. - 25+ customization options: elevation profile, route characteristics, preferences panel, header, download options, map controls - One iframe tag, works with WordPress, Squarespace, or any custom stack - No SDK, no dependencies, no maintenance URL: https://www.mountaya.com/en/map-studio App: https://app.mountaya.com ### Outdoor Intelligence A remote MCP server, open-source Agent Skills, and a GraphQL API for querying outdoor geospatial data: terrain, weather, elevation, trails.
