Cross-sectional and Visibility Judgement Features

You can create cross-sectional views at any location between multiple points.
Cross-sectional views can be saved in a list and called up as needed. They can also be converted to GPS track data.
The terrain in the cross-sectional view uses "Super Terrain Data", providing resolution in centimeters where based on 5m mesh. This reproduces significantly more detailed cross-sectional views than commonly used 10m mesh (some areas use 10m mesh).
Also includes visibility judgment features inherited from Kashmir 3D.
You can calculate visibility between two points considering the curvature of the Earth and refraction effects, such as whether Mt. Fuji is visible from a location.

Detailed explanation

Elevation Palette Feature (Gradient Coloring)

You can change the background color of the map.
By changing the elevation palette, you can change the color scheme.
Color schemes can be set in 1cm increments and can be created by yourself.

The positions of the sun and moon, and the lunar phase are displayed with trajectories.
You can use it to find locations like "Diamond Fuji".
You can also display GPS points, so you can check custom points on the map.
Supported in Android version 2.7.0 and later.

Detailed explanation

3D Display

You can display highly detailed terrain using Super Terrain Data in 3D and move it around (using full resolution based on up to 5m mesh).
You can display all available maps (excluding Google Maps) in 3D. You can also view old maps, vegetation maps, urban fault maps, and aerial photos on 3D terrain.
You can display GPS data tracks, routes, points, and current locations, including current recording tracks.
Includes heading-up features.
Currently, you cannot edit GPS data on the 3D display screen.
To use the 3D display feature, you need a device with an A7 chip or later. Devices without this chip cannot use this feature.
Specifically, for the iPhone version, it's available for iPhone 5s and later, iPad mini 2 and later. It may work on iPods with A7 chip and later, but this is not tested.
Currently supported only in the iPhone/iPad version.
