At high altitude we use satelite and aerial photographs as the base for the model. At lower altitudes three-dimensional representations of roads, vegitation and buildings are used. These objects are automatically generated from available information i digital maps.

The software generates realistic 3D models in which the user can travel freely. Apart planning, the models are also platform for other VR-applications. For example, flight- and vehicle simulators, GIS visualization, touristpresentation.
