TerraExplorer Benefits

View all terrain data and terrain overlays created with TerraExplorer Pro and TerraBuilder

With TerraExplorer, users can navigate through high resolution 3D world environments. TerraExplorer Viewer efficiently streams photo-realistic terrain data and terrain overlay information over any network.

Set the appearance of the environment in the 3D Window

You can control the horizon distance, fog color, as well as the sun and moon display. The sun, moon and sun flare objects can be displayed and positioned based on a given date, time and time zone.

Preset or custom sky textures and colors can be applied. An animated cloud layer can be displayed over the entire terrain, with customized altitude, position, density, and movement settings. Reflection and movement effects can be displayed on all sea and ocean terrain.

Measure and analyze your terrain

TerraExplorer provides a set of tools for measurement of horizontal, aerial, and vertical distance, as well as advanced tools for measurement and terrain analysis, including Line of Sight, Viewshed, Threat Dome, Flood Analysis, and Volume Analysis.

Integrate TerraExplorer into your own application or website

TerraExplorer can operate as a stand-alone application or you can use TerraExplorer’s powerful API to integrate TerraExplorer ActiveX controls within your own application or website.

Share screenshots with others who don’t have TerraExplorer Viewer

TerraExplorer Viewer allows you to save screenshots in BMP or TIFF format, so that you can use them to easily portray complex spatial relationships.

Share geographical information with others through dynamic presentations

You can create a presentation, in which you navigate through the 3D World, showing or hiding objects on the terrain, following dynamic objects, displaying messages and performing different operations. The presentation route is created either by flying through the terrain recording an exact route or by adding each waypoint separately. An easy to use editor enables you to set step timings and transitions and modify step sequence.

A movie in AVI format can be created from any presentation in your project. This movie can then be played using a standard AVI Viewer or any product that supports AVI format or multi frames format, or even displayed on a TV screen.

Troubleshoot and keep track of core functionality events

The TerraExplorer log records and displays warnings, messages, and errors.
