Screen maps:

• smooth scaling - QuakeMap allows you to change Camera altitude smoothly, you are not limited to a fixed set of scales. You can always see where you are, there will be no blank screen situations. Scale is clearly displayed at all times. QuakeMap zooms from world map into almost a 1ft/pixel scale - 3 times closer than most other programs.
• simple click navigating - QuakeMap can zoom into selected rectangle ("drag and click"). You can recenter the map by double-clicking or single-clicking on the corner arrows. No hassle of selecting tools and remembering what your clicks mean at this time.
• QuakeMap has a single view, and it switches all maps (topo, aerial, relief) in place. No need to click on the tabs and to center each map separately.
• in QuakeMap you can easily invoke street map information: ctrl/click into the map - and browser with Google Map pops up centered at that point.
• QuakeMap displays color imagery where Terraserver-USA supplies it (i.e. around Seattle).

Printed maps, routes, tracks:

• you can take QuakeMap's printed maps on your trip (it looks like this). In the field you will easily refer any point on the print to it's exact coordinates, using a simple ruler, thanks to the printed coordinate grid. No need to turn on your GPS, indeed :-)
• This is how route and track printout looks like (use Waypoints Manager "Print" button).

Disconnected operation

QuakeMap preloads Terraserver tiles and operates when disconnected from the Internet. Area preload and load-along-the-route are your options for different situations. You can even make CDs with tiles and change them as needed on your trip.

When connected to a GPS (serial connection preferred), QuakeMap shows your current position on the map and saves the track.

Save map as Web Page - with clickable objects

QuakeMap allows you to generate web pages from the picture you see on the screen. You can copy generated files to you web site for your friends to see the map in a browser.

Here are some examples. Note that photo thumbnails and waypoint/earthquake labels are clickable:

• Dana Point, CA
• Death Valley, CA
• Dana Point, CA - not using SmugMug.com

Street map is one click away

Right-click on any point on the map and choose "Street Map" to see Google map in the browser. You need to be online.

Playing nice with Google Earth

Right-click on any point on the map and choose "Street Map" to launch Google Earth (installed separately) centered at that point. Right-clicking on a track point gives you an option to see whole track in Google Earth in beautiful 3D - like shown in this screenshot:



You can also save a .KMZ file with your track and embedded photos - take a look at this sample (280Kb).
The flight path from the screenshot above is here (45Kb).
You can also view waypoints, geocaches and earthquakes from the selected area (left click and drag the mouse, and then right-click inside the rubber rectangle):

Tracks and trackpoints:

• loading track - QuakeMap zooms into track right after downloading. You can instantly see the whole track and then zoom in as needed.
• QuakeMap shows trackpoint information in popups, so just hovering the mouse over a track gives you all data you need, right on the map. No need to switch tabs and set active points.
• QuakeMap shows "odometer" reading from the beginning of the track, not just distances between track points.
• QuakeMap shows direction of the track with arrows.
• Color-coding of track legs by speed or elevation, valuable for mountain biking and vehicle tracking:

Support for Zip (WinZip) format:

• QuakeMap opens .gpx, .loc and .jpg files packed into .zip archives.

Got Digital Camera? Look into Photos-on-Tracks:

QuakeMap relates JPEG photos to GPS tracks on the fly, using the timestamps that your camera puts into every JPEG image. This is how it looks: click here. QuakeMap places JPEG images with embedded EXIF coordinates on the map. QuakeMap lets you edit JPEG images, overlaying them with visible labels and embedding EXIF coordinate tags. For more information click here.

Want to download your aerial/topo maps to Palm or PocketPC PDA?

QuakeMap feeds TerraServer tiles to MapAdvisor PDA software. For more information click here.

Annotated trackpoints and waypoints:

• Waypoints and trackpoints editing is easy - just right-click on them on the map and select "Edit..."
• you can create annotated collection of your trips - make some trackpoints clickable, commented, related to your photo collection.



• Here is how a trip to DeathValley looks like (get zipped .gpx file here)

Clickable Track Elevation Graph:

• Waypoints Manager shows elevation (yellow) and speed (blue) of your GPS track.

Displaying custom maps in GeoTIFF format:

• This is the way to overlay regular maps, waypoints, routes, tracks and vehicles on custom maps.
• Just drop a GeoTIFF file on QuakeMap window. QuakeMap will position the GeoTIFF image on the map.


See a collection of GeoTIFF maps for California here.

Advanced features

QuakeMap shows a fleet of moving vehicles on the map (with a little bit of programming through API), allows you to call any program with current coordinates, prepares collections of preloaded tiles... If you want specific feature - contact us and see what we can do!
