A Wealth of Maps at Your Fingertips
Our app offers over 100 types of maps, including our proprietary super topographic data and resources from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. Whether you're exploring aerial photographs from different eras or using the latest maps, you'll find comprehensive coverage to suit your needs. Note that some areas might lack photographs for certain time periods, but "Latest" and "around 1974" provide wide coverage. Enjoy a free 5-day trial of maps using super terrain data upon installing the app.
Creating Cross Sections and Outlooks
Effortlessly draw cross sections through any point on the map to better understand the terrain. Our visibility judgment function, a staple in Kashmir 3D, accounts for the Earth's curvature and atmospheric differences, aiding in route planning, wireless visibility assessments, and more. Where PLATEAU building data is available, include buildings in your cross-sectional views for added detail.
Elevation Palette Function
Customize your map's appearance with the elevation palette function, adjusting the background color in 1cm increments to create a visually pleasing gradation that matches your preferences.
Panoramic Views
Identify mountains effortlessly with our panoramic observation map, which displays mountain names from any location. The 360° panorama integrates with your smartphone's compass, perfect for mountain identification. You can also track celestial events like Diamond Fuji and Pearl Fuji, and view GPS point locations. Extend your panoramic views to mountains abroad.
GPS Functionality
Leverage your smartphone's GPS to obtain precise location data and record your tracks. Our high-precision positioning is designed for rigorous mountain climbing and outdoor use. Visualize your recorded tracks with detailed parameters such as elevation change, speed, time, and elapsed time. The point alarm function alerts you with voice and sound as you approach designated points, and you can view photos associated with specific locations. Send the map center position to NaviCon for seamless navigation.
GPS Track Summary Playback
Replay your recorded tracks in full with our GPS track summary playback feature. It matches photos stored on your smartphone with the corresponding track times, displaying icons at photo locations for easy access.
GPS Navigation Function
Navigate along preset tracks using the Track Navi function, with voice or alarm notifications if you stray off course. This feature is invaluable for preventing disorientation during climbs. Additionally, enjoy route navigation for urban exploration and point navigation to reach specific locations.
GPS Data Editing Function
Manage GPS-related point, route, and track data with ease. Organize your data into folders displayed in a user-friendly tree format. Create tracks directly on the map and import or export data in GPX format from mountain climbing sites.
Map Usage Outside Service Areas (Offline)
Continue using maps in remote areas without signal coverage through our bulk download function, which allows you to download all scale maps for a specified area. The cache function ensures you always have the maps you need at your fingertips.
Map History Function
The app remembers your viewed locations, allowing you to easily return to previous points of interest.
Custom Map Compatibility
Import custom maps created with Kashmir 3D's map cutter, including your own maps and scanned images. When using the map cutter, divide images into approximately 256 x 256 segments and send the resulting kmz file to Super Terrain via email or Cloud Drive.
GeoJSON Compatibility
Display and edit points, linestrings, and polygons from GeoJSON format files, with the ability to draw new shapes directly on the map.
Print/PDF Output
Print any map area at a specified scale or generate a PDF for offline use.
Integration with Other Apps
Exchange GPS data in GPX, KML, and GDB formats with other apps and software, including Kashmir 3D on your PC, and utilize trajectory data from mountain climbing sites.
Backup Function

Terms of Use
The copyright holder and developer are not liable for the outcomes of using this application. Upon first use of GPS, allow the use of location information services. Note that continuous GPS use will drain your battery; if your device is crucial 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. Be aware that some smartphones may interrupt or fail to record tracks due to power-saving features that close background apps. Turning off the screen while Super Terrain is displayed may temporarily maintain recording, but this is not a permanent solution.
