1. A Wealth of Maps at Your Disposal
Our collection boasts over 100 types of maps, including combinations of our super topographic data, maps from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, and hazard maps. Note that availability of aerial photographs may vary by age group, with "latest" and "around 1974" offering broader coverage. Enjoy a 5-day free trial of maps using super terrain data post-installation.
2. Cross-Section and Outlook Creation
Effortlessly draw cross-sections through any point on the map. Our app also includes the renowned visibility judgment function from Kashmir 3D, factoring in Earth's curvature and atmospheric variations. It's ideal for route planning during mountain climbs, assessing wireless visibility, and understanding terrain. Where PLATEAU building data is available, you can include buildings in your cross-sectional views.
3. Elevation Palette Function
Customize your map's background color with the elevation palette function, adjusting it to your preferred gradient in 1cm increments.
4. Panoramic View
Experience panoramic observation maps that reveal mountain names from any location. Our 360° panorama integrates with your smartphone's compass, perfect for mountain identification. View the sun and moon, including moon phases, to explore phenomena like Diamond Fuji and Pearl Fuji. Additionally, display GPS points and create panoramic views of overseas mountains.
5. GPS Function
Leverage your smartphone's GPS to obtain location data and record tracks. Our high-precision positioning is designed for rigorous mountain climbing and outdoor activities. Visualize your recorded tracks with parameters like elevation change, speed, time, and elapsed time. The point alarm function alerts you with voice and sound as you approach designated points. Display photos linked to specific points and send the map center position to NaviCon.
6. GPS Track Summary Playback
Replay your track logs comprehensively. The app automatically matches and displays photos from your smartphone based on their capture times, with icons marking photo locations for easy access.
7. GPS Navigation Function
Navigate along preset tracks with the Track Navi feature, receiving voice or alarm alerts if you stray off course. This ensures you won't lose your way during climbs. Additionally, utilize route navigation for urban walks and point navigation to reach specific locations.
8. GPS Data Editing Function
Manage GPS-related point, route, and track data, organized in folders and displayed in an easy-to-read tree format. Create tracks directly on the map and import/export in GPX format from mountain climbing sites.
9. Map Usage Outside the Service Area (Offline)
Continue using maps in areas without signals, such as during mountain climbs, thanks to our bulk download function that ensures all scale maps of specified plots are available. A cache function further enhances offline usability.
10. Map History Function
The app remembers your viewed locations, allowing you to revisit them easily.
11. Custom Map Compatibility

17. Terms of Use
The copyright holder and developer are not responsible for the outcomes of using this application. Upon first use of GPS, you'll be prompted to allow location services. Continuous GPS use can drain your battery, so if your device is used for emergency communication, carry a spare battery. For a detailed explanation of the navigation function, refer to the PDF at https://www.kashmir3d.com/online/superdemapp/superdem_navi.pdf. Note that some smartphones may interrupt or fail to record tracks due to power-saving features that close background apps, a common issue across various apps. Turning off the screen while using Super Terrain may temporarily maintain recording, but this isn't a permanent solution.
