Questions like "Where are the invasion corridors?" and "Where should troops be placed to protect an invasion corridor?" require a detailed view of the terrain. Terrain Analysis features are designed to visualize topographical data accurately.

By drawing a rectangle on the map, the user can get the terrain elevation chart to check whether a planned route uses roads that are too steep or can find the best way to reach an area using the automated valley detection and terrain-gradient displays.

Your applications can display maps that drill down from worldwide views to street views without compromising application response time
