Since I started telling you about programs, I will continue this topic, since I see from the number of reposts that topics about software are popular. My previous program reviews can be found here:
Today a few words about how I work with maps when preparing to go somewhere. The SAS.Planet program, which is absolutely free, helps me a lot with this. You can download it. It's a simple archive, you don't even need to install anything, just unpack it.
In this post I’ll tell you a little about its main functions. The main thing about this program is that it works with a huge number of maps and all kinds of layers that can be combined in any way. It also allows you to cache all these maps (already downloaded), and then use them without access to the Internet, which is important in places where network access is limited. But let's talk about everything in more detail. She looks like this:
I'll go through the main menu items:
- Selecting an area- selecting a method for selecting an area and the area itself with which you want to perform any operations
- Measuring distances- measuring the distances between two straight lines and the entire route, but you have to place the points yourself; the route distance is not calculated
- Full screen- switch the program to full screen mode (F11)
- Receiver menu allows you to connect a GPS receiver to your laptop and navigate directly in this program
I will write in more detail about the remaining main points below.
In the View panel we can configure the appearance of the program. Everything there is intuitive. For example, the Show Scale menu shows a compass 
A Night mode- switches the program to night mode 
In the Source menu, the user can select the source of maps, or rather the method of delivering maps to the program. There are three menus 
I recommend using the Internet and cache for situations when there is access to the network and Cache when there is none
Search allows you to search for objects using Yandex and Google 
In the Cards menu you can choose which cards we will use. There are a lot of different cards here and you should try them different cards for the area you need. For example, to travel around Georgia I used the Gurtam card. And I like her in Russia too. But the choice is great - try it. There are also quite interesting additional maps: maps of the Moon, Mars, Stars, aerial photographs from the Second World War, Mende of the 19th century and many others. This is what I like most about this program - everything in one place with a very intuitive interface, completely free 
While writing this post, my Internet began to act up and I decided to download latest version program, so then the interface is a little different, but essentially everything is the same. A list of changes, innovations and bug fixes can be found on the program website.
In the Layers menu, you can select multiple layers (you can only select one map) at the same time. For example, here I chose photos from Panoramio, Yandex.Traffic and Transport 
Another thing that is simply amazingly implemented in the program is working with markers. In the markers menu, you can simply place markers to remember where to go and what to see, but the main thing is that here you can pave the way with different characteristics. Just select the Add menu new way and place the starting point and destination on the map, after which we select the parameters for building the path - I chose by distance 
In a few seconds, a path in points is ready, which can be spread along the entire length of the path! 
So before the trip, if you take a laptop with you, I recommend installing this program and first downloading all levels of maps of the area you need from the network into the cache at home, so that you always have detailed maps at hand, regardless of whether there is a network or not. Better yet, lay out a detailed route and save it right there, and while laying it out, you can look at photos from Panoramio so as not to miss the most interesting places.
Have a nice and interesting trip!
On this moment program free. The code already entered in the top line allows unlimited use.
To work with the program you need to download two files: and . The first file is the program itself. The second file is a collection of associative metaphorical cards.
Especially for (paranoid) cautious people, the files are checked by VirusTotal. These files must be in the same directory and have original names.
Launch the program. Select deck . If you put tick "Associations"— an associative experiment will be launched, which will be written about below, as about mode No. 4. If there is no checkmark - "Reactions" there will be mode No. 3, also described below. There will be a show button in the map window "random deck".
Description
Metaphorical cards is a wonderful tool that every practical psychologist can use. They allow both diagnostics pressing problems client and psychotherapeutic work.
For a psychologist consulting online, there are some difficulties associated with the use of metaphorical maps. Of course, you can work with images directly on your computer. There are programs that allow you to randomly select mind map images from a directory. You can place metaphorical cards on the Internet: in in social networks, Online. There are web applications that allow you to work with mind maps online. They also offer the user randomly selected cards.
The question of whether the metaphorical cards chosen from the deck you hold in your hands are random is a very interesting and complex one. There are versions that on an unconscious level we “feel” which card we need now. Which metaphorical card to pull out. If so, then randomly selecting a card using a program will not give the wonderful result that we can get when working with metaphorical cards directly, “manually.” This, in turn, makes it difficult for psychologists conducting psychological consultations online.
A program for working with metaphorical maps "Metaphor" solves the above problems and opens up new opportunities for the user that are not available with regular work with a deck. Program for work With association cards "Metaphor" allows you to work with metaphorical maps in the following ways:
- Selecting a card face up. You can look through the entire deck of metaphorical cards and select the card you need.
- Random map selection. As mentioned above, the Metaphor program for working with associative cards allows you to select random cards from a deck.
- Unconscious choice when viewing the entire deck of metaphorical cards in frame 25 mode.
- Verbal association to an unconscious stimulus, when viewing the entire deck of associative cards in frame 25 mode.
The last two items on this list are the innovations that deserve special attention. Let us dwell in more detail on the principles of operation of the program in the third mode.
The principle of operation of the program in mode No. 3
Everything happens quickly. In frame 25 mode, the user is presented with metaphorical cards one after another. To be precise, 20 milliseconds or 1/50th of a second. After this, the metaphorical card is covered with its own copy, blurred into squares or circles. The user is faced with the task: to react as quickly as possible to the appearance of each new associative map - click on it with the mouse. If he was in a hurry or late, the click is not counted and the card is presented again.
The main idea of such work is that our emotions and experiences influence the course of processes in our nervous system. This was scientifically substantiated by Alexander Romanovich Luria in the forties of the twentieth century. The experiment is called: associative motor reaction A.R. Luria. If the presented stimulus, in our case a metaphorical card, is significant for the user, then the speed of his reaction will be either higher or lower than average. The average, in turn, is determined by the speed of reaction to obviously neutral stimuli.
Thus, the user looks through the entire deck of metaphorical cards and the program selects for him exactly those cards to which he reacted emotionally. And it really works! I did this several times and tortured my friends and relatives with experiments. You go through this kind of testing, look at the cards and understand that the program has chosen from the deck of metaphorical cards exactly those cards that you need now. Oh miracle!
The principle of operation of the program in mode No. 4
The presentation of metaphorical cards occurs here in almost the same way as in mode No. 3. Only the frame is presented not once, but many times. Under the associative map there is a line in which you need to enter the first word that comes to mind. We understand that this is a real association.
The significance of metaphorical cards for the user is first determined using mode No. 3 - associative motor reaction of A.R. Luria. Many of the most significant ones are selected. Then, when recording associations to a stimulus hidden by a mask, the specific time spent writing one letter is calculated. Thus, if the typing speed is higher or lower than average, the stimulus is considered significant.
The path to the unconscious
As a result of numerous experiments, I became convinced that such associations are deeply personal, unconscious in nature. The stimulus is not realized, which means defense mechanisms don't have time to work. Unconsciously, we can even choose those cards that contain a metaphor for our problem in an open, explicit form. Thus, we can say that the program for working with metaphorical cards “Metaphor” opens access To unconscioususers. Makes it possible to perform in-depth analysis and work with deep, unconscious content.
Due to its features, the program for working with associative maps will be very useful for online consulting psychologists and psychotherapists who use in their work metaphorical association cards.
In the hands of a modern psychoanalyst, the program can become a wonderful, powerful tool that will automate and facilitate work with patients.
Also, the program can become interesting entertainment and useful tool for everyone who wants to discover and understand their inner world.
Progress does not stand still, and today dozens of programs are available for tourists that facilitate and automate work with topographic maps, which are vital for planning a route and moving along it. After all, having a detailed, high-quality and up-to-date map reduces the risk of emergency situation on the route, and facilitates the decision-making process if such a situation does arise. Many countries realized this and released extremely detailed maps, and the Americans generally opened up access to their originally military global navigation system (GPS).
For us, tourists, the most relevant are the maps posted on the websites of the University of Berkeley and the “Czech website”. You can “link” them yourself or buy them already linked to work in OziExplorer.
Overview maps of the Caucasus (already linked) can be downloaded for free from this site.
OziExplorer
The most famous and widespread program for working with raster maps. And since the most detailed maps for tourism are scanned topographic ones, there is virtually no alternative to using this program. Offhand, the most popular features of this program are:
convenient exchange of tracks/points. You no longer need to spend hours explaining to a person by phone or mail what route you are talking about - just “draw” it on top of the map in the program and send the resulting file, a couple of kilobytes in size, by mail and the recipient will definitely understand you.
synchronization with navigators. Most supported popular models Garmin, Magellan and others. You can draw a path and mark key points on top detailed map, send them to your navigator. Or get this information into the program from the navigator and see on a good map how you walked :)
calculating distance in a couple of mouse clicks (curvimeter no longer needed)
printing any map fragment at a given scale with all your notes (or without them)
convenient choice maps - by clicking on the overview map (index) you can select which map from those available for this area should be opened
Version STRM- very detailed, but there are annoying inaccuracies in places where remote sensing results are difficult to obtain (high mountains, rocks, ice). Installation: unpack the files from the archive into any convenient folder. IN OziExplorer enter menu“Height” (requires Ozi 3D installed) - setting up work with heights - on the second tab in the Globe (Arcview) line, check the box and specify the path to the folder into which you unpacked the files from the archive.

NameSearch database
To the territory of the Caucasus. Almost thirty thousand mountain names, rivers, settlements and other objects. Enter the first letters of the name into the search box and you will be asked to select an object from those found. With one click you can open a map with this object.
Download Installation: unzip the files from the archive to any folder, launch Ozi and click the icon on the toolbar.
In the window that appears, click the "Load" button and specify the path to the file unpacked from the archive. Important: the search is case sensitive, i.e.
Capitalize the first letter of the name.

ERDAS IMAGINE Virtual GIS.
Virtual GIS is an application module of the Erdas Imagine system (ERDAS).
ERDAS IMAGINE (Earth Resources Data Analysis System) is a system for analyzing Earth remote sensing data presented in raster formats.
A characteristic feature of the system is that it has become an almost standard developer environment for writing application software for remote sensing processing - many companies (not only American) design their developments as expansion modules for the Erdas Imagine system.
“The core of the ERDAS IMAGINE software is one of three base package options: IMAGINE Essentials, IMAGINE Advantage and IMAGINE Professional. Each subsequent package includes the previous one and expands its functionality. Additional expansion modules:
– processing vector data (Vector);
– orthorectification, interferometric and stereo processing of radar images (Radar Mapping Suite);
– atmospheric correction (ATCOR);
– three-dimensional GIS (Virtual GIS);
– subpixel classification (Subpixel Classifier);
– block triangulation, creation of digital elevation models and orthorectification of aerospace and ground images, full-featured photogrammetric processing (LPS);
– application development (Developer’s ToolKit);
– radiometric and geometric correction of images from “Resurs-O”, Lineament analysis LESSA.”
ERDAS IMAGINE supports several vector formats, including vector-topological. All vector formats convert into each other without the import-export procedure.
The Virtual GIS module is available for use with any of the three variants of the ERDAS IMAGINE base packages.
The authors give the following brief description of the Virtual GIS module and its high rating: “The Virtual GIS module (virtual GIS) represents the cutting edge of the development of GIS technologies and digital data processing. The idea is simple: by processing in real time a digital terrain model with a raster image (image, map) superimposed on it, the user can “fly” over a synthesized, but quite realistic, perspective image of the area, interactively changing the flight direction, its speed, and the direction of view . In addition, vector maps in ARC/INFO format can be superimposed on the relief. In a 3D image, both raster pixel values and ARC/INFO vector data attributes are available using a special cursor. Since the direction of view can change up to the nadir, the difference between a plan (cartographic) and a perspective image actually disappears, especially since contrast transformations and other processing can be carried out on a perspective image.”
SiteBuilder 3D program.
The SiteBuilder 3D package is built on the basis of the well-known developments of the MultiGen company - Paradigm, Inc. (USA) - a leader in the field of three-dimensional visualization. This product is implemented as a software add-in for Arc View GIS 3.2 and ArcGIS 8.x/9.x.
Arc View was developed by ESRI, Inc. (USA) and is part of the ArcGIS family of programs. ArcView powerful tool for managing, displaying and analyzing spatial information. Used as a stand-alone desktop GIS package, as well as a client application in the ArcGIS system.
Arc View consists of three basic modules: ArcMare – display, editing and analysis of data, creation of maps; AxcCatalog – data access and management; ArcToolbox – projection management and data conversion tools.
All ArcGIS products can use additional modules to solve specialized spatial analysis problems: ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, ArcGIS 3D Analyst, etc.
SiteBuilder 3D tools are accessed from the ArcView secondary menu. The input data is 2D data from ArcView layers and additional 3D information that is either already contained in the ArcView data or extracted from digital cards, DEMs, etc. SiteBuilder 3D creates a 3D map representing the terrain and then “drapes” the contours of the terrain with a map overlay on top of it, thereby creating a new 3D scene. Then, using special libraries (SiteBuilder’s 3D Features Libraries), 3D templates are selected for roads, buildings, trees, rivers, lakes, etc. The selected templates are automatically built into the 3D scene. The 3D scene can be viewed either in full screen mode or alongside the 2D map in the ArcView window. In this mode, progression through the 3D scene is synchronized with progression across the 2D map.
SiteBuilder 3D allows you to create three-dimensional scenes with a huge number of objects and a high degree of detail.
To achieve the desired level of detail without reducing rendering speed, SiteBuilder 3D uses the virtual texture technique, which includes support for atmospheric phenomena(clouds, fog, change of time of day).
You can select information to create a texture from aerial or satellite imagery, or from the map display in the ArcView window. In both cases, SiteBuilder 3D automatically converts the image or map into a virtual texture and overlays it onto the terrain model. It is possible to add 3D symbols (models, colors, textures, etc.) to two-dimensional data to increase the realism of the created three-dimensional scene.
GIS MAP 2011 program - GIS Panorama.
The “Panorama” project is a set of geoinformation technologies, including the professional GIS MAP 2011, the industrial vectorizer of electronic maps Panorama - Editor, GIS application development tools for various platforms GIS ToolKit , system of accounting and registration of land holdings and Law, converters for exchange Data with other GIS.
The technology for constructing a three-dimensional model is implemented on the basis of applications included in the GIS MAP 2011. These applications include: Map editor, Classifier editor, Library editor of three-dimensional views of objects, Construction of a three-dimensional model, Three-dimensional map editor, Measurements on a three-dimensional map, Printing and Creating presentations .
The technology for constructing a three-dimensional model is intended to create 3D models varying degrees of detail and solutions to applied problems. Based on the degree of detail, models are divided into standard, detailed, interior and thematic models.
The technology allows you to create three-dimensional models of the territory, models of architectural ensembles, interior interiors, above-ground and underground communications.
MAP 2011 - GIS Panorama also implements an original style of modeling a three-dimensional scene, which consists of synthesizing the scene when launching the viewer (Navigator 3D) from a digital map (plan) containing metric and semantic information of objects. Three-dimensional views of objects are created according to the principle of a constructor from graphic primitives. The View Builder contains several standard object views. The user has the ability to create new views.

Data sources for creating and updating a 3D scene
The main data sources for creating and updating 3D scenes are:
remote sensing (materials from aerospace surveys, laser ranging, radar interferometry);
archival cartographic materials on paper;
digital topographic maps and plans;
geodesy and engineering geology;
additional attribute information;
ground photographs of buildings (phototextures);
libraries of three-dimensional models of various objects.
Modern technologies for obtaining digital models of relief and territorial objects involve the use of Earth remote sensing data. The so-called “single data set”, generated at a time, has the greatest information value and includes three types of data:
laser location data (clouds of laser points);
aerial photographic data (digital aerial photographs);
navigation data (GPS, GLONASS and inertial system data).
