Maptech – It’s Real 3D –
Just Like the Movies
Terrain Navigator
CD-ROMs Make USGS Topo Maps Come Alive
Award-winning -- Nationwide Coverage – 3,500 Topos for under $100
Maptech (Amesbury, MA) announces two
new features to its award winning Terrain Navigator CD-ROMs. Yes, glasses are
included, but not required. One 3D feature is truly a “Wow” experience.
Wearing the glasses the topographic maps jump out at you in true 3D movie-like
fashion. The visual impact gives you a deeper appreciation and understanding of
the lay of the land. However, glasses are not needed with the other vivid 3D
options. For example, you can see two images side-by side – one in 3D and the
other as a flat topo map or view the entire map in 3D from any angle. The new 3D
features give hikers, hunters, fishermen and professional map users a better
tool to plan any outdoor adventure or project. And that’s not all.
Automatically load waypoints or routes
directly into or from your GPS unit. Scroll seamlessly from map to map, or view
individual maps, complete with collar information. Print your own version of a
genuine USGS topographic map. Record your favorite outdoor sites and bookmark
the map for instant retrieval. Transfer the maps into handheld PDAs, connect to
a GPS for detailed topos showing your location with Maptech's Pocket Navigator
software.
“Terrain
Navigator offers the highest quality map images, both on-screen and in-print;
easier to use software with GPS integration, seamless maps, and unique 3D
views,” says Martin Fox, Maptech’s spokesperson. “The
quality of the 3D imagery is unparalleled.
Each state or region (New England or the
Mid-Atlantic) sell for under $100 - less than 4 cents per quad! Our goal is to
offer the best product, at the best price for the outdoor adventurer or
professional map user.”
Each state offers genuine USGS topographic maps in
both the 1:24,000 and 1:100,000 map scales and sells for $99.95 per state or
region. For a complete listing visit www.maptech.com
