A Wealth of Maps at Your Fingertips
Choose from over 100 types of maps, including our exclusive super topographic data and maps from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. Note that availability of aerial photographs may vary by age group, with "latest" and "around 1974" offering broader coverage. Enjoy free access to maps using super terrain data for 5 days after app installation.
Creating Cross Sections and Outlooks
Effortlessly draw cross sections at any map point. The app includes a visibility judgment function, accounting for Earth's curvature and atmospheric differences, ideal for route planning during climbs, assessing wireless visibility, and understanding terrain. Where available, PLATEAU building data can be integrated into your cross-sectional views.
Elevation Palette Function
Customize your map's background color using the elevation palette function, adjusting the gradient in 1cm increments to suit your preferences.
Panoramic View
Access panoramic observation maps that reveal mountain names from any location on the map. A 360-degree panorama syncs with your smartphone's compass, aiding in mountain identification. Display the sun and moon, including moon phases, to explore phenomena like Diamond Fuji and Pearl Fuji. View GPS points and enjoy panoramic views of mountains abroad.
GPS Function
Leverage your smartphone's GPS to acquire location data and record tracks. The app supports high-precision positioning suitable for serious mountain climbing and outdoor activities. Graphically display recorded tracks with parameters such as elevation gain, speed, time, and elapsed time. Receive voice and alarm notifications as you approach designated points, view photos linked to specific locations, and send map center positions to NaviCon.
GPS Track Summary Playback
Replay your track logs in full, with the app automatically matching and displaying photos taken at corresponding times. Icons at photo locations allow for easy access and viewing.
GPS Navigation Function
Navigate along preset tracks with the Track Navi function, using your smartphone's GPS. Alerts sound if you deviate from the track, preventing you from getting lost. Additionally, utilize route navigation for urban exploration and point navigation for reaching specific locations.
GPS Data Editing Function
Manage GPS-related points, routes, and tracks, organizing them into folders and viewing them in a user-friendly tree format. Create tracks directly on the map and import/export in GPX format for seamless integration with mountain climbing sites.
Map Usage Outside the Service Area (Offline)
Continue using maps in areas without signals, such as during mountain climbs. The bulk download function ensures you have all necessary scale maps for your specified area, with clear visibility of what is being downloaded. A cache function further enhances offline usability.
Map History Function
The app remembers your previously viewed locations, allowing you to return easily.
Custom Map Compatibility
Import and utilize custom maps created with Kashmir 3D's map cutter, including your own or scanned maps. When using the map cutter, divide each image into approximately 256 x 256 pixels and send the resulting kmz file to Super Terrain via email or Cloud Drive.
GeoJSON Compatibility
Display and edit points, linestrings, and polygons from GeoJSON files, and draw new shapes to customize your maps further.
Print/PDF Output
Print any map area at a specified scale or create PDFs for detailed planning and record-keeping.
Cooperation with Other Apps
Input and output GPS data in GPX, KML, and GDB formats, facilitating data exchange with other apps, the PC software "Kashmir 3D," and trajectory data from mountain climbing sites.
Backup Function
Backup all app data (excluding cached maps) and remove it from your smartphone. Restore data even if you delete the app or encounter device issues. An automatic backup feature using Google Drive ensures your data remains up-to-date. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions.
