1. A Wealth of Maps at Your Fingertips

Explore more than 100 types of maps, including combinations of our proprietary super topographic data and maps from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, such as hazard maps. Note that aerial photographs may not be available in certain age groups, with "latest" and "around 1974" having broader coverage. Super terrain data maps are available for free for the first 5 days after installing the app.

2. Cross Sections and Outlooks

Effortlessly create cross-sectional diagrams through any point on the map. The app includes a well-known visibility judgment function from Kashmir 3D, accounting for Earth's curvature and atmospheric differences. This is invaluable for route planning, assessing wireless visibility, and understanding terrain. When PLATEAU building data is available, cross-sections can include building details.

3. Elevation Palette Function

Customize your map experience with the elevation palette function, allowing you to change the map background color in 1cm increments to your preferred gradient.

4. Panoramic View

View a panoramic observation map that identifies mountain names from any point. This 360° panorama links with your smartphone's compass, aiding in mountain identification. Display the sun and moon, including moon phases, for experiences like Diamond Fuji and Pearl Fuji. You can also view GPS point locations and create panoramic views of mountains abroad.

5. GPS Function

Leverage your smartphone's GPS to obtain location information and record tracks. The app uses high-precision positioning, perfect for serious mountain climbing and outdoor activities. Graphically display recorded tracks with parameters such as elevation gain, speed, time, and elapsed time. The point alarm function alerts you with voice and sound when approaching a designated point. Display photos associated with these points and send the map center position to NaviCon.

6. GPS Track Summary Playback

Replay track summaries with ease. The app automatically matches and displays photos from your smartphone based on their timestamps. Tap an icon at the photo location to view the image.

7. GPS Navigation Function

Navigate preset tracks using your smartphone's GPS with the Track Navi function. If you stray from the path, you'll be alerted by voice or sound, ensuring you never get lost while climbing. Additionally, utilize route navigation for urban exploration and point navigation for targeting specific locations.

8. GPS Data Editing Function

Manage GPS-related point, route, and track data within folders, displayed in an easy-to-read tree format. Create tracks directly on the map and import/export data in GPX format from mountain climbing websites.

9. Map Usage Outside the Service Area (Offline)

Continue using maps in remote areas without signals through bulk downloads, ensuring all scale maps of the specified area are accessible. A cache function further enhances offline use, preventing scenarios where maps are unavailable on-site.

10. Map History Function

The app remembers your viewed locations, allowing you to return to previous spots easily.

11. Custom Map Compatibility

Import and use custom maps created with Kashmir 3D's map cutter, displaying your own or scanned maps. When using the map cutter, divide each image into approximately 256 x 256 pixels and send the resulting kmz file to Super Terrain via email or Cloud Drive.

12. GeoJSON Compatibility

Display and edit points, linestrings, and polygons from GeoJSON files, with the ability to draw new shapes.

13. Print/PDF Output

Print any map area at a specified scale or create a PDF for your records.

14. Cooperation with Other Apps

Input and output GPS data in GPX, KML, and GDB formats, allowing data exchange with other apps, PC software like Kashmir 3D, and trajectory data from mountain climbing sites.

15. Backup Function

Back up all app data (excluding cached maps) and remove it from your smartphone. This data can be restored if the app is deleted or your device malfunctions. An automatic backup feature using Google Drive ensures your data is always up-to-date. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions.

16. Billing Function

Some features, such as maps using super terrain data, GPS track functions, and cross-sectional views, require in-app purchases. After payment, the number of search results for place names increases.

• Fees: Annual payment of 780 yen/year.
• Free Trial: Use the app for free for the first 5 days after installation. After this period, some features and maps may become unavailable unless you make a purchase.
• Confirmation and Cancellation: Check and cancel automatic updates through Google Play by selecting "Regular Purchase" from the menu and choosing "Super Terrain".
• Price Revision: Prices may be revised with future enhancements, making early purchases advantageous.

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 carry a spare if your device is used for emergency communications. For detailed navigation instructions, refer to the PDF guide 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; turning off the screen may allow recording to continue temporarily, but this is not a permanent solution.
