スーパー地形 - GPS対応地形図アプリ

Explore over 100 types of maps, including the renowned Geographical Survey Institute map, which is perfect for everything from mountain climbing to leisurely strolls around town. This comprehensive mapping tool received the prestigious 2018 Japan Cartographic Society Award for Best Work, underscoring its utility and innovation in the field of cartography.

The app utilizes "super terrain data" to enhance terrain visualization using unique technology. Users can access an array of maps from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, including topographic, geological, historical, and prewar maps. The GPS functionality allows you to record tracks (trajectories), with options for GPX log input/output and editing. This makes it an ideal companion for urban exploration, mountain climbing, and other outdoor activities, complete with GPS navigation featuring audio support, data recording, and editing capabilities.

Enhance your experience with the visibility determination function, useful for creating cross-sectional diagrams and aiding in observation and radio communication. Buildings can also be visualized, adding a layer of detail to your maps. The 360° panoramic view function aids in mountain identification, displaying not only the names of mountains but also the positions of the sun, moon, and GPS points. Enjoy seamless offline use with GPS functionality, bulk map downloads, and map caching, ensuring a lag-free experience even in areas without a signal.

Additional features include the ability to associate photos with specific points, display contour lines generated from elevation data, and show MGRS grids (UTM grids). The app supports reading, displaying, and editing GIS data from GeoJSON files, as well as drawing shapes. It's versatile enough for use overseas, supports map printing and PDF output, and offers a dark theme for user convenience.

1. A Wealth of Maps That Can Be Used

The app boasts over 100 usable maps, including our proprietary super topographic data and maps from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. Note that aerial photographs may not be available in all locations, with the "Latest" and "around 1974" categories offering relatively wide coverage. Maps utilizing super terrain data are free to use for the first 5 days after installing the app.

2. Creation of Cross Sections and Outlooks

Easily draw cross-sections through any point on the map. The app includes a visibility judgment function from Kashmir 3D, which accounts for the Earth's curvature and atmospheric differences. This is invaluable for route planning during climbs, assessing wireless visibility, and understanding terrain. Where PLATEAU building data is available, you can create cross-sectional views that include buildings.

3. Elevation Palette Function

Utilize the elevation palette function to customize the map background with your favorite colors, adjusting in 1cm increments for a personalized experience.

4. Panoramic View

The panoramic observation map displays mountain names from any point on the map, offering a 360° view that syncs with your smartphone's compass for accurate mountain identification. You can also view the sun and moon, including moon phases, which is perfect for exploring phenomena like Diamond Fuji and Pearl Fuji. The app supports viewing GPS points and drawing panoramic views of mountains worldwide.

5. GPS Function

Leverage your smartphone's GPS to obtain location data and record tracks. The app's high-precision positioning is ideal for serious mountain climbing and outdoor use. Tracks can be graphically displayed with parameters such as elevation, speed, time, and elapsed time. A point alarm function notifies you via voice or alarm when approaching a specific point, and you can view photos associated with these points. The app also allows you to send the map center position to NaviCon.

6. GPS Track Summary Playback

Replay your recorded tracks comprehensively, with the app automatically matching and displaying photos based on their capture times. An icon marks the photo's location, which you can view by tapping.

7. GPS Navigation Function

Navigate along preset tracks using the Track Navi feature, with voice or alarm alerts if you deviate from the path. This ensures you won't get lost during your climbs. The app also supports route navigation for urban walks and point navigation to reach specific locations.

8. GPS Data Editing Function

Manage GPS-related point, route, and track data organized in folders and displayed in a user-friendly tree format. Create tracks directly on the map, and import or export them in GPX format from various mountain climbing sites.

9. Map Usage Outside the Service Area (Offline)

Use maps even in remote areas without a signal, thanks to the bulk download feature, which allows you to download all scale maps for a specified area. A cache function further enhances offline usability, ensuring you always have access to necessary maps.

10. Map History Function

The app remembers previously viewed locations, enabling you to return to them easily.

11. Custom Map Compatibility

Import and use custom maps cut with Kashmir 3D's map cutter, displaying your own maps or scanned maps. When using the map cutter, divide each image into approximately 256 x 256 sections and send the resulting kmz file to Super Terrain via email or cloud drive.

12. GeoJSON Compatibility

Display and edit points, linestrings, and polygons from GeoJSON format files, with the ability to draw new shapes.

13. Print/PDF Output

Print any map area at a specified scale or generate a PDF for further use.

14. Cooperation with Other Apps

Input and output GPS data in GPX, KML, and GDB formats, facilitating data exchange with other apps, Kashmir 3D on your PC, and trajectory data from mountain climbing sites.

15. Backup Function

Back up all data within the app (excluding cached maps) and remove it from your smartphone for safekeeping. You can restore the data even if you delete the app or experience a device malfunction. An automatic backup feature using Google Drive ensures your data remains up-to-date. For detailed information, refer to the manual.

16. About Billing Function
