Image Gallery

We enjoy making custom maps to show off our rendering. All of the following images were rendered with the same software that generates maps in real-time in our MountainScope product. You can find many screen shots of international locations here.

Entire World

This is map shows the entire world, made from the low-resolution version of our terrain database. The larger one you get when you click to the right is 1/4 the detail of the entire low-res database. Our medium resolution data is 225 times the detail of the low-res, and the hi-res is an additional 100 times the detail of the medium resolution.

Northern California Wallpaper

This is a map shows the area between Lake Tahoe and San Francisco. You can use this as a desktop wallpaper by clicking on the image to the right, then right-click on the big version and say "Use as Background" or "Set as Wallpaper"

MountainScope Logo Wallpaper

Here is some wallpaper of our product logo. You can use this as a desktop wallpaper by clicking on the image to the right, then right-click on the big version and say "Use as Background" or "Set as Wallpaper." You might have to change your desktop wallpaper settings to stretch/shrink this image to the size of your screen.

United States

This is the first map we wanted to make: the whole United States. This map was rendered using 1/25 as many pixels as we have available in our terrain database, but we had to shrink it even more to make images that can be downloaded on the web. The image you get when you click on the thumbnail to the right is 640x399, but the original render is 10840x6758 pixels -- that's what we used to print a banner for our booth that's 30"x19" at 360 pixels/inch! And that's still only 1/5 as large as it would be if we could generate one at the full resolution.
If we printed this using the full database resolution at the photographic quality of 200 pixels/inch, it would be more than 22 feet wide and 14 feet tall!

Northern California

This image of Northern California was rendered at the full resolution of the database. The image you'll see when you click on the thumbnail to the right is 499x640 -- the original rendering for our booth is 5830x7483, which makes 18"x23" at 320 pixels/inch.
This image is on a large enough scale that you can start to see the airways, and you can see the detail on the terrain and airspace.
