Introduction
OziExplorer3D is an
optional add
-
on
to the OziExplorer software, details of the software and an
evaluation version can be obtained from our web site www.oziexplorer.com
OziExplorer3D is software which allows map images to be viewed in 3D with the ability to rotate in
all directions and zoom in and out of the view.
The 3D maps are created using the OziExplorer GPS Mapping Software, the 3D maps are then
viewed by OziExplorer3D, in this respect OziExplorer3D can be considered as an add-on to the
OziExplorer GPS Mapping software.
A 3D map can be created from any map that can be loaded in OziExplorer provided you have
elevation data for the region.
When the term OziExplorer3D is used the
3D map viewer
is being referred to, when the term
OziExplorer is used the
OziExplorer GPS Mapping Software
is being referred to.
A 3D map is composed of a map image (or image part) and a grid of heights at a spacing specified
by the user. The software plots the height grid in 3D and then overlays the map image on the grid
(this is called texturing) to produce a 3D map.
OziExplorer creates the grid of heights using the height data you have obtained and writes this to a
file. Other required information is also written to the file and the file is then passed to
OziExplorer3D which loads the file and the map image (or image section) and displays the 3D map.
The evaluation version of OziExplorer3D will work with the evaluation version (shareware/demo
version) of OziExplorer but the limitations of both packages will apply.
To get the full benefit of creating and viewing 3D maps you must have a purchased copy of
OziExplorer3D and a purchased copy of OziExplorer.
