A Wealth of Maps at Your Disposal
Super Terrain offers an extensive selection of over 100 map types, including our proprietary super topographic data and maps from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. Note that aerial photographs may not be available for all locations, with the "latest" and "around 1974" categories offering broader coverage. Maps using super terrain data are available for free for the first 5 days after app installation.
Creating Cross Sections and Outlooks
Easily draw cross sections through any point on the map with Super Terrain. The app also features a visibility judgment function, accounting for Earth's curvature and atmospheric differences, which is invaluable for route planning during climbs, assessing wireless visibility, and understanding terrain. Where PLATEAU building data is available, you can include buildings in your cross-sectional views.
Elevation Palette Function
Customize your map's appearance with the elevation palette function, allowing you to change the background color in 1cm increments to your preferred gradation.
Panoramic View
Explore panoramic observation maps to identify mountains from any location on the map. The 360° panorama integrates with your smartphone's compass, making it an essential tool for mountain identification. You can also view the sun and moon, including moon phases, to plan for phenomena like Diamond Fuji and Pearl Fuji. Additionally, display GPS points and create panoramic views of mountains worldwide.
GPS Function
Leverage your smartphone's GPS to obtain location information and record tracks. Super Terrain uses high-precision positioning suitable for serious mountain climbing and outdoor activities. Visualize your recorded tracks with parameters like elevation gain, speed, time, and elapsed time. The point alarm function alerts you with voice and sound when you approach designated points. Display photos linked to specific points and send the map center position to NaviCon.
GPS Track Summary Playback
Replay your track logs in full with the GPS track summary playback feature. It automatically matches and displays photos taken during your journey, with icons indicating photo locations that you can tap to view.
GPS Navigation Function
Navigate along preset tracks with the Track Navi function, which uses your smartphone's GPS. If you stray from the path, you'll be alerted by voice or sound, ensuring you stay on course during climbs. Additionally, use 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 in folders displayed in a user-friendly tree format. Create tracks directly on the map and import/export data in GPX format from mountain climbing sites.
Map Usage Outside the Service Area (Offline)
Continue using maps even in areas without signals, such as during mountain climbs. The bulk download function allows you to download all scale maps for a specified area, ensuring you have the maps you need on-site. A cache function is also available for offline use.
Map History Function
Super Terrain remembers your viewed locations, allowing you to return to previous spots effortlessly.
Custom Map Compatibility
Import and use custom maps created with Kashmir 3D's map cutter. Display your own maps and scanned maps by dividing images into approximately 256 x 256 segments and sending 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, and draw new shapes on the map.
Print/PDF Output
Print any map area at a specified scale or create a PDF for your records.
Cooperation with Other Apps
Input and output GPS data in GPX, KML, and GDB formats, enabling data exchange with other apps, Kashmir 3D on your PC, and trajectory data from mountain climbing sites.
Backup Function
Back up all app data (excluding cached maps) and remove it from your smartphone. Restore your data even if you delete the app or experience a smartphone malfunction. An automatic backup feature using Google Drive ensures your data is always up-to-date. For detailed instructions, please refer to the manual.

Terms of Use
The copyright holder and developer are not responsible for the outcomes of using this application. When starting GPS for the first time, you'll be prompted to allow location services. Continuous GPS use can drain your battery, so if your device is used 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. Note that some smartphones may interrupt or fail to record tracks due to power-saving features that close background apps. Turning off the screen while using Super Terrain may temporarily maintain recording, but this is not a permanent solution.
