by editor on February 15, 2012 in Press Release with Comments Off

Hamburg, Germany – Whether you’re skiing, cycling, mountaineering, off-roading or simply traveling – the Maps 3D iPhone app is the GPS navigation system for all your outdoor activities. The features are a delight – mountains, valleys and your own route are displayed in 3D from start to finish for a totally new navigation experience! Head developer Moritz Gaupp, previously responsible for the map displays at Navigon, combined precise NASA scans of the Earth’s elevation profile with the topographical maps of OpenStreetMap (OSM) for the first time to bring you this innovative app. The app displays an outdoor route network that is up to 30 percent more extensive than traditional maps – depending on the country. Maps 3D utilizes the best data currently available for outdoor use. You will benefit from the app’s unparalleled terrain display, which shows you a realistic mini-model of the surrounding region. This makes the 3D representation very intuitive to grasp compared to the classic 2D displays with contour lines (which Maps 3D can also generate, if desired). Skiers will be especially excited that the app shows more than 340 skiing regions around the world with countless slopes and cross-country ski trails.
