DeLORME
3-D TopoQuads
Features
- What the Experts are saying:
- "DeLorme 3-D TopoQuads uses
vectorized maps for the zoomed out views, up to a magnification of
12-7, then switches to the rasterized USGS DRG quad maps at 13-0 and
above. (Each mag setting runs from 0 through 7, eg. 12-0, 12-1 …
12-7, 13-0, 13-1 etc.) This is an interesting approach. The vectorized
large scale (zoomed-out) maps are more readable than zoomed-out topos,
in my opinion." Dr. Brad DeLong.
- The data you need in software that is simple to use:
- Featuring 17 viewing levels of authentic USGS raster data (scale
1:24,000), and 80 viewing levels of DeLorme's comprehensive 1999
road and topographic vector data (each state includes all the
Topo USA 2.0 data for that state) -- all accessible through a
highly intuitive interface that gets you working right away!
- Convenience of Digital Quad Maps:
- Scroll seamlessly through quad after quad. No more
cutting and pasting incongruous paper quad maps together. Print
exactly the area maps you want.
- Easy Searching:
- You can easily find what you are looking for. Search for quads,
geographic features, placenames, street
addresses, latitude/longitude coordinates
and more.
- Freedom of superior control:
- Finely control the map images with both detail level and photo zoom
tools. There are 97 viewing levels of amazing map
detail in 3-D TopoQuads.
- 3-D Perspective:
- Gain an instant perspective of the terrain to assess groundwater
flow, trail difficulty, or land-use opportunities. Preview your
destination in detailed 3-D. Adjust the pitch and rotate
the 3-D views to examine the terrain in a whole new dimension.

Profile elevation changes, show the terrain distance,
horizontal distance and more. Measure distances in feet
or meters, and calculate areas in square feet, acres or
hectares.
- Precision Mapmaking Tools:
- Display features like new roads, trails, flood
plains, areas of commercial or residential growth with the draw tools.
Include these kinds of details on the map by adding MapNotes™,
symbols, lines, polygons and circles.
- Print exactly what you want:
- Print exactly the 2-D and 3-D image maps you want using scale
adjustment.
- Use with your GPS:
- 3-D TopoQuads works on laptops. Connect to most popular GPS
receivers--including, GARMIN,
Lowrance, Magellan and DeLorme’s Earthmate--and
track your position in real-time.

Save the latitude/longitude waypoints
for a location with your stand-alone GPS receiver,
download them to the software, and see
their locations on 3-D TopoQuads maps. (Cannot download
actual maps to any GPS receiver) |
