AR with SceneKit and Metal

Thanks for sharing the links to Google Cloud Anchors and Azure! Quickly looked through the docs of both, excited to try them out and see how well they work :)

I used Apple's Geo Anchors, but found it pretty limiting for my use case (labelling rock climbs outdoors), since it rely's heavily on street level data it seems

Yep, they're both pretty comparable in their API surface, and more general purpose than Apple Geo Anchors, as neither are tightly coupled with GPS. Rather you create an anchor and then save it to the cloud. On your own you can tie it to a GPS location if you'd like. Though Azure Spatial Anchors does have more functionality than Google Cloud Anchors (Coarse Relocalization + find nearby anchors in the anchor graph).
