Key Features
Raster ImagesDisplay and manipulate imagery of all kinds: satellite images, aerial photos, digital orthophotos, street and topography maps, digital vector maps and live or recorded video • Rapid display of images of virtually unlimited size (hundreds of terabytes) • Real-time accurate re-projection of layers • Directly open and display over 100 file formats and standards • GeoTIFF, Jpeg2000, ECW, MrSID, NITF, IMG, BMP, PNG and more • Display Internet based layers such as Open Street Map and NASA Blue Marble • Display remote WMS layers • No preprocessing needed • Imagery is opened directly with no need to import or process the data • Automatic generation of multi-resolution (pyramids)
Presentation
Intuitive and smooth navigation using mouse, keyboard or joystick • Panning, zooming, and 3D rotation • 3D world with perspective camera (scene tilting and fly-through) • Animated roaming and fly-through • Multiple views and ports, full-screen support • Overlaying of scale-bar, crosshair, 3D compass and magnifying glass • Overview map • Location geo-search (powered by GeoNames) • Geodetic accurate distance and area measurement tools • Application can work through Remote Desktop terminal and Citrix virtualization
Image Processing
Real-time image enhancement • Brightness, Contrast and Gamma adjustment
Vector Data
High quality rendering of vector layers • High-performance ESRI shape file support • Extremely fast file open and level of detail generation • DBF file and metadata retrieval • Open huge shape files (more than 200MB) with no preprocessing • Open layers from local files or from remote shared folder
Annotations
Extremely high-quality visualization and editing of annotation layers • Save and load annotation layers as KML or KMZ files • Large number of available annotation kinds and geometric shapes • Adjustable placemarks with labels • Open 3D models of various formats
