1. An Extensive Library of Usable Maps
Available maps (over 100 types, including combined formats)
Includes proprietary super topographic data, Geospatial Information Authority maps, hazard maps, and more.
*For aerial photography (sorted by era), coverage may vary by time period. "Latest" and "circa 1974" eras offer relatively broad coverage.
*Super terrain data maps are free to use for 5 days following app installation.
2. Cross-Section and Viewshed Creation
Easily generate a cross-sectional profile from any point on the map.
Includes the proven visibility analysis function from Kashmir 3D. Calculations account for the Earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction.
Ideal for route planning while hiking, determining radio wave visibility, and terrain analysis.
Where PLATEAU 3D city model data is available, create cross-sectional views that include buildings.
3. Elevation Palette Function
Customize the map background color using the elevation palette. Apply your preferred gradient in precise 1cm increments.
4. Panoramic View
Display a panoramic observation map from any location to identify surrounding mountain names. A 360° panorama synchronized with your smartphone's compass. Exceptionally powerful for mountain identification.
Display the sun and moon (including lunar phase). Useful for planning Diamond Fuji or Pearl Fuji viewings.
View the location of logged GPS points.
Can also generate panoramic views for international mountains.
5. GPS Functionality
Obtain location data using your smartphone's GPS and record your tracks.

On some smartphones, track recording may be interrupted or fail. This is due to power-saving features that force-close background apps, which cannot be controlled from within the app. This issue also occurs with other applications.
While turning off the screen may allow recording to persist briefly, this is not a permanent solution. Please be aware of this limitation.
